The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" is the right choice for buyers who want the most powerful, off-road-capable light-duty pickup available — in its class. Its supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 produces 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, paired with an automatic 8-speed transmission and full-time all-wheel drive.

How Much Can the 2027 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" Tow and Haul for Onsted Families?
The TRX 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" carries a rated payload of 1,310 lbs and offers about 54 cu ft of cargo volume in its short bed — enough practical capacity for the kind of real-world hauling that Onsted families rely on through every season. Whether that means loading up fishing gear for a morning run to Wamplers Lake, stacking farming supplies after a long week, or hauling festival booth equipment for the Onsted Summer Festival, the bed dimensions tell the story clearly.
The bed measures 67.4 in long and 66.4 in wide overall, narrowing to 51 in between the wheelhouses — wide enough to lay standard sheet goods flat with the tailgate down. The loading floor sits at 38.1 in off the ground, and the bed walls stand 21.4 in tall, giving gear a secure perimeter without requiring a step to load lighter items.
The truck's curb weight of 6,350 lbs reflects the TRX's widebody construction, heavy-duty suspension, and supercharged drivetrain. That weight is a trade-off buyers should understand: the TRX is engineered for performance and terrain capability, not maximum payload or towing optimization. Families who need to haul a boat to the reservoir or move equipment across rolling farmland will find the 1,310 lbs payload rating practical for typical recreational and agricultural loads.

| Cargo | 53.9 cu ft |

| Payload | 1,310 lbs |
For buyers who want a capable Ram 1500 with a similar crew cab and short-box configuration at a different price point, our new Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab inventory is worth a look. If value and flexibility matter most, browsing our pre-owned Ram 1500 selection can also surface excellent options across a range of build levels.
Rugged Exterior Design Tailored for Rural Terrain
The TRX's exterior is not a styling exercise — it is a functional statement. The widebody fenders flare out to accommodate the truck's 74.5 in front track and 74.1 in rear track, giving the TRX a planted, aggressive stance that looks at home on the rolling farmland around Onsted as much as it does on a performance course. At 80.9 in tall and 232.9 in long overall, this is a big truck with presence to match.
LED lighting runs the full perimeter, with projector-beam LED low and high beams, LED front fog lights, LED side indicator lights, and LED rear and brake lights all standard. The dusk sensor activates headlights automatically, a practical touch for early-morning farm departures or late returns from a day on the water. Auto high-beam control adjusts between settings without driver input on dark rural roads.
Color choices lean bold. The TRX palette includes eight two-tone exterior combinations, all pairing a primary color over Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat. Options span Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat (solid), Bright White Clear Coat, Forged Blue Metallic, Silver Zynith, Molten Red Pearl Coat, Serrano Green Metallic, Goldilocks Pearl Coat, and Spitfire Orange. The two-tone treatment — primary color on the body, black on the lower cladding — reinforces the TRX's widebody visual identity.
Black trim accents appear around the side windows and on the exhaust tips, while the front and rear bumpers wear body-color and painted finishes respectively. Front tow and recovery hooks are standard. If you are trading in your current vehicle to make room for a TRX, getting a quick appraisal on your trade is a smart first step before you visit the showroom.
Power and Performance of the 2027 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" for Farming and Outdoor Needs
The numbers are straightforward: the TRX runs a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 producing 702 hp at 6,100 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm, routed through an automatic 8-speed transmission (code 8HP95) with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and a manual mode. Full-time all-wheel drive is standard, with both full-time and part-time 4WD capability, a rear differential lock, and a low/high range transfer case for demanding terrain.

| MPG | 10 city / 14 hwy / 12 combined |
Fuel economy is 10 mpg city / 14 mpg highway / 12 mpg combined, with a calculated range of 396 miles on the 33-gallon tank running premium unleaded (91 octane minimum). For buyers accustomed to driving between Onsted, Michigan Center, and Napoleon for work and errands, that range means fueling roughly every 350 miles under real-world mixed conditions — plan accordingly on longer hauls.
The suspension setup is purpose-built for the TRX's performance mission: independent front wishbone with coil springs and front stabilizer bar, and a rear beam axle with coil springs, rear stabilizer bar, and driver-selectable electronic adaptive damping. Ground clearance is 11.8 in, the approach angle is 30.2 degrees, and the departure angle is 23.5 degrees — numbers that translate to genuine off-road confidence on the gravel back roads and wooded trails around Onsted. Launch control is standard, giving the truck a controlled, repeatable launch from a standing start.
For buyers interested in a Ram 1500 with a different capability profile, our new Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab inventory covers the premium end of the lineup with a different powertrain focus. When it's time to keep the TRX running at its best, genuine Mopar parts are available directly through NewGen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Clinton.
Spacious Interior Comfort Designed for Family Outings to Local Lakes
Five passengers fit in the TRX Crew Cab with genuine room to spare. Front headroom measures 40.9 in, rear headroom 39.8 in, and shoulder room spans 66 in up front and 65.7 in in the second row — numbers that mean adults in the back seat are not crammed. Rear leg room reaches 45.2 in, which is notably generous for a crew cab, making the back seat a comfortable spot for kids and adults alike on longer drives to the lake or a community event.
The seating configuration is 2+3, with front bucket seats for driver and passenger and a split-folding rear bench that accommodates three. The driver's seat is power-adjustable with six-way electric movement plus memory positioning for height, reach, reclining, tilt, and lumbar. The passenger seat matches with six-way power adjustment. Both front seats are heated and ventilated, and both include active massage functions — a genuine luxury feature that makes long drives across rural Michigan noticeably more comfortable. Rear seats are heated as well.
Interior materials reflect the TRX's premium positioning. Leather upholstery covers both the main and additional seat surfaces, with a Black Leather interior option available. Carbon fiber trim accents appear on the instrument panel, doors, and center floor console, while the gear selector wears leather wrapping. Alloy door sill protectors, a leather-wrapped carbon fiber steering wheel, floor mats, and floor covering round out the cabin's appointments. Ambient lighting and an illuminated entry system add a polished finish when you open the door after dark.
Below-seat storage in the rear, a full floor console, a partial overhead console, front and rear cup holders, and a front center armrest keep the cabin organized on family outings. The two-zone automatic climate control system with touch-screen controls and a micro filter keeps everyone comfortable regardless of Michigan's seasonal swings.
Infotainment and Connectivity Features That Keep Drivers Connected
A 12 in fixed center touchscreen handles infotainment duties, paired with a 7 in digital instrument cluster that is fully reconfigurable. Navigation is built in with a 14 in display equivalent screen, 3D mapping, voice guidance, internet-connected live traffic information, and 36 months of included traffic and map update subscriptions. A windshield-projected head-up display keeps speed and navigation prompts in the driver's sightline.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are both standard, with subscriptions effectively included long-term (999 months as listed in the catalog). Bluetooth connectivity, a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot with an embedded SIM card providing 3 GB per month for 3 months, and over-the-air update capability keep the truck's software current without a dealer visit. Amazon Alexa voice assistant integration is standard, and the system supports built-in apps and app control.
The harman/kardon premium audio system runs 19 speakers including a subwoofer and surround sound processing, with satellite radio (3-month trial included), AM/FM, digital radio, and internet radio all accessible. Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and a front AUX jack round out the audio connections.
Charging is thorough: 4 USB charging ports up front and 2 USB charging ports in the rear, plus 2 USB data connections in front and 1 in the rear for device syncing. A wireless charging pad handles phones without a cable. A 12V power outlet sits in the front, and a mains power supply (household-style outlet) is available through the Bed Utility Group package, useful when the truck doubles as a power source at a worksite or campsite.
Remote services accessible through the connected platform include remote lock/unlock, remote vehicle start, speed alerts, geo-fencing, theft alerts, vehicle diagnostics, find-my-car, send destination to car, and driving history analysis — a comprehensive suite that keeps owners informed whether the truck is parked on the farm or left at a trailhead. Telematics connectivity runs via SIM card with 12 months of included subscription.
Safety Technologies Built for Rural Roads and Family Drives
The TRX comes standard with a comprehensive suite of active and passive safety systems that provide real protection on the kind of rural two-lane roads and gravel paths that connect Onsted, Michigan Center, and Napoleon. The foundation is a 6-airbag system covering driver and passenger front airbags, front side airbags, and front-and-rear side curtain airbags. Front seat belts include pre-tensioners and height adjustment for both driver and passenger positions. All rear seat positions have 3-point belts, including the center seat.
Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS are standard, along with a brake assist system, electronic parking brake, and a hill holder that prevents rollback on inclines — a practical feature on Michigan's rolling terrain. Electronic traction control, stability control, and roll stability control work together to keep the truck composed when road surfaces change unexpectedly.
The collision avoidance system is called Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus. It activates from as low as 1 mph, automatically applies brakes at low speeds, triggers brake lights as a warning signal, and operates across both low- and high-speed ranges. The system provides visual and acoustic warnings and allows programmable following distance settings. Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go function handles highway driving, maintaining set gaps and bringing the truck to a in its class in traffic.
ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist with Stop uses both cameras and sensors at the front, rear, and sides, with rear guidance display, to make maneuvering this wide truck in tight spots manageable. A full 360-degree surround-view camera system gives a bird's-eye perspective when parking or navigating tight farm lanes. Rear occupant alert reminds drivers to check the back seat before exiting, a genuine safety net for families with young children.
The IIHS rates the TRX's headlights Good, side impact Good, small overlap front (driver side) Good, rear crash protection Good, and roof strength Good. NHTSA gives the truck a 5-star overall rating, with 5 stars for side impact, 4 stars for frontal crash, and 4 stars for rollover. The trailer stability program is also standard, keeping a towed load from inducing sway on open roads.

Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Options Supporting Long-Term Ownership

Paint is covered for 36 months / 36,000 miles, and the anti-corrosion warranty runs for 36 months with unlimited mileage coverage.
