The Ram 1500 TRX is equipped with a 6.2 liter supercharged Hemi.
00:23
The similarities between the Dodge Hellcat engine and our 6.2 supercharged for the TRX are vast.
00:31
We continue to use the cast iron block, the forged steel crank,
00:36
and the aluminum heads of the base engine.
00:38
We've modified only the things that we had to to adapt to this application.
00:43
We changed the oil pan to a deep sump truck oil pan that keeps the pickup tube
00:51
in the oil in all circumstances, high G, corners in the Baja environment especially.
00:58
The alternator was also moved higher on the adaptation of the front end
01:03
such that we could get a 32 inch water fording depth.
01:07
To prepare the powertrain for extreme desert enthusiasts,
01:14
we took a holistic approach understanding what the customers expected
01:19
with customer surveys, data acquisitions, and a lot of hands on real world testing.
01:26
The air box for the 1500 Ram TRX is specifically designed for Baja environment.
01:34
It is separate from the engine, hovering above the engine
01:39
so it never, it doesn't follow the vibrations of the engine.
01:43
It has two 8 by 12 inch air filters that capture four times the dirt of our closest competitor.
01:51
In addition, it has two airflow entries, one through the functional hood scoop
01:56
and one Ram air from the front of the grill.
01:59
So it always gets cool, clean air to the supercharged engine.
