The TRX is also packed with tech, with Ram's cool 12-inch portrait-oriented infotainment screen standard. The rotary gear shifter is gone, replaced by a more traditional, floor-mounted shifter.

Inside, drivers get their choice of three trims: cloth, leather and suede or leather and suede with red accents and some integrated carbon fiber. I totally dig the clearance lamps that are integrated into the front hood scoop, too.

The truck's track is increased by 6 inches and the body is a full 8 inches wider thanks to some pretty dope-looking fender flares. Ram didn't just drop all this gear on a standard Rebel and call it good, either. The inside isn't much different than the standard Ram 1500, and the 12-inch Uconnect screen comes standard. I get what Ram is trying to say, but nobody likes a copy-cat. Heck, it could have just used Desert mode. The company could have called it Mojave mode and tied it in with the latest Jeep Gladiator model, or Dakar mode, Whoop mode or even Ocotillo mode after the ubiquitous spiky plants found in the desert. The Raptor has had a Baja mode since 2017, and while Ford doesn't hold a copyright on the word, I feel like Ram could've differentiated itself somehow. While I am all about a go-fast mode for desert running, I do wish Ram would have found another name for it. Heck, there is even a jump detection feature that knows when the truck is airborne and prevents driveline damage on landing. Finally, there's a Baja mode with a 25/75 torque split, quicker gear-changes and full-travel damping on the Bilsteins. With all the power on tap here, I expect the TRX to be a major dune basher. A Mud and Sand mode splits the torque 45/55 front/rear and switches up throttle programming to keep wheel spin at bay. Like the Raptor, I expect the TRX to do just fine in the rocks, but with its long 145-inch wheelbase it probably won't be the most maneuverable. Rock mode splits the torque evenly between the front and rear axles and adjusts the locking rear axle to take full advantage of the TRX's low-range gear ratio of 2.64:1. In addition to the on-road drive modes of Auto, Sport, Tow and Snow, the TRX has some dirt-specific modes that also switch up the programming of the throttle, transmission, adaptive dampers, steering and four-wheel drive system. The TRX's off-road geometry is similar to that of the Ford F-150 Raptor's.
