For the third year in a row, the Ram brand has earned the MotorTrend Truck of the Year award! The all-new Ram 1500 TRX model that’s now being produced and coming soon to our Newburgh NY dealership location has won this prestigious accolade for 2021 for a variety of reasons.
The main reason cited by MotorTrend is that the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX became the new benchmark that all supertrucks must beat. That’s because of unique performance features such as:
- 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 that delivers 702 hp, 650 lb/ft of torque, 4.5-second 0-60-mph time, 12.9-second quarter mile & 118-mph top speed

- Modified front axle & Dana 60 solid rear axle
- Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive dampers
- Maximum cargo capacities of 1,310 lbs in the bed & 8,100 lbs when towing
MotorTrend also touted the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX’s unique design, which gives it an 8” increase in width compared to the standard 1500. Not to mention these exclusives:
- Flat-bottom Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel
- Heated & ventilated premium Natura Plus leather sport seating with perforated suede accents
- Coke-bottle fender flares
- New functional hood scoop set with tucked-in clearance lights
- Functional front fender vents
- Optional combination rock sliders/steps, lightbars & bead lock-capable wheels
