The High Output motor makes an impressive amount of power, but 510 hp is nowhere near the monstrous figures provided by the existing 6.2-liter supercharged V8. With 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, only a handful of more powerful trucks are out there.
Ram has already said it would offer the facelifted 1500 with the Hurricane 6 engine, but the TRX will probably receive an upgraded version. Tuning a straight-six to 700 hp will be a tall order, but Ram will have to deliver if it wants to match the new Raptor R in terms of sheer performance. We expect electrification to be involved in some way. But even if it does, we have a feeling Mopar fans will be disappointed.
There’s no denying the test mule in the video above sounds good, but a turbocharged six is no match for a supercharged V8.
