Ram has announced its 2024 lineup for its popular 1500 pickup, as well as its heavy-duty and commercial trucks and vans, including a final edition of its 1500 TRX with its 702-horsepower HEMI V8 engine.
Most of the 2024 models are getting some minor adjustments, with media reports that a redesign for the Ram 1500 for 2025 will be announced later this year. The biggest news is production will end this year on the 1500 TRX, but the company adds, a little confusingly, that it’s not really the end of the TRX, which debuted in 2020.
“This current chapter in Ram’s high-performance trucks is coming to a close, but it’s not the end of TRX’s story,” says Tim Kuniskis, Ram brand CEO for Stellantis, Ram’s parent company. “While we’ll have more news to come at a later date, we’re proud to offer our loyal performance enthusiasts the very special TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 - Final Edition.”
For a starting price of $117,625, you can buy the 2024 “final edition,” which Ram deems “one last chance to own a piece of automotive history.”

Here’s Ram’s response:
“The 2024 Ram 1500 TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 - Final Edition offers highly exclusive content, including Satin Titanium bead-lock capable wheels with a matching 6.2-liter hood badge and bed decal. Inside, the exclusive content includes Patina stitching on the dashboard, seats and an embroidered “TRX” seat back logo. A TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 - Final Edition cluster splash screen, ultra-premium center console badge showcasing the build number, passenger-side TRX dashboard badge in Satin Titanium finish and Triaxle-suede door panel inserts are also included. The interior also includes 4x4 weave matte carbon fiber on the instrument panel, doors, console and steering wheel. Additional standard equipment includes a 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, Head-Up Display, digital rearview mirror and 8-way power driver and passenger seats. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, Lane Keep Assist, pedestrian emergency braking blind-spot and cross-path detection and ParkSense front and rear park assist with stop.”
For contractors on a more modest budget, Ram is planning the following upgrades for its 2024 lineup:

eTorque gets improved fuel efficiency in the standard V6 and the V8 configurations, the company says. The system replaces the traditional alternator and is designed to increase fuel efficiency without sacrificing towing and hauling performance, but stops short of being a traditional hybrid vehicle.
The trucks’ Uconnect 5 infotainment system comes with a 12-inch touchscreen that offers split-screen capability and 360-degree camera views. Safety technology includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Forward Collision Warning, Blind-Spot Monitoring and Ready Alert Braking.
“Class-leading ride and handling are accomplished with a link-coil rear suspension system with segment-exclusive, active-level, four-corner air suspension with adaptive damping,” Ram says.
