The TRX is the latest and sexiest 2021 Ram 1500. It is also probably the most highly effective by a number of hundred horsepower and its eye-popping suspension makes it able to actually eye-popping issues off street. As in each “off the paved street” in addition to “we have jumped off the street and can ultimately land again down upon it.”
Factor is, although, that suspension makes the TRX shockingly comfy if you’re again on terra firma. It is downright plush, the results of its four-wheel coil springs with extra-long preliminary journey. In different phrases, that is one high-performance car you may get with out concern of sneering from the numerous different about shopping for some firm-riding sports activities factor that makes lengthy journeys depressing. Simply do not inform them in regards to the gas invoice.
In addition to the experience, although, the TRX shares the identical crew cab as some other 2021 Ram 1500. In addition to having the identical kind of palatial legroom because the crew cabs of any full-size truck, the Ram’s goes above and past in various methods, particularly in an higher trim stage just like the TRX.
First off, it reclines. Although not the one truck to take action (howdy Tundra!), that is however an ideal characteristic that totally takes benefit of the immense legroom the crew cab affords. Observe that the entrance seats are way back to they will go on this image.
One tidbit: The seatback does not simply tilt backward. There is no room for that. As an alternative, the highest of the seat mainly stays put whereas the underside slides ahead together with the seat backside. Airplane seats and the reclining chair in my workplace work in the same method. And, because you’re mainly pulling the seat ahead, the reclining mechanism is situated between your legs beneath the seat backside.
A lot of energy accessible again right here, too. There is a correct house-style outlet so you possibly can plug in a toaster or no matter, together with each USB-A and USB-C ports. Observe that there aren’t 4 ports, simply two with a selection of port sort.
Additionally, try these seat controls. Not solely do the again seats recline, not solely are they heated, however they’re additionally ventilated. That is actually cool. Actually!
In addition to the little shelf you possibly can retailer a cellphone whereas it fees, the middle console cupholder unit doubles as a pill holder. Considerate contact.
Admittedly, that trim piece is a bit wonky. Solely noticing that now within the image. Did not see it in particular person.
Here is one other considerate contact I am fairly sure is particular to the TRX: Molle straps on the entrance seatbacks to connect no matter you need.
Here is the fold-down heart armrest, which we have already decided is a extra sturdy and properly completed unit than what Ford offers.
Then again, the Ram’s fold-out storage bin/divider is much less voluminous and/or gun-ready than what you may discover within the Ford F-Sequence.
Lastly, let’s discuss automotive seats. The Ram 1500 has decrease LATCH anchors for all three seating positions, which is extraordinarily uncommon. And this is not the same old state of affairs the place there’s simply an additional LATCH anchor within the center and also you “borrow” one of many anchors from an outboard seat (thereby stopping you from utilizing that seat). Nope, there are two correct LATCH anchors down there, and though they don’t seem to be completely within the heart (they’re off to the correct), the Ram is so huge you possibly can nonetheless match an individual on both facet of the seat.
The LATCH anchors are additionally very simple to entry and there was no downside plugging within the Chicco attachment clasps. Under are the outboard LATCH anchors.
Frankly, you are extra probably to make use of these contemplating it may be a bit troublesome to hoist baby seat + baby up into the center of the cab, particularly the extra-tall TRX.
There’s positively no downside with house, although, as there’s room to spare regardless of the entrance seats being all the way in which rearward within the under image.
So there you will have it. The Ram 1500’s above-and-beyond again seat options. You actually cannot beat it.
