The Ram 1500 TRX is making waves in the off-road community. It is unapologetically powerful and ready for all sorts of terrain. The Ram 1500 TRX does not even pretend to offer everyday truck features. It is for your dusty, bumpy, hilly weekend adventures, and it knows it. As a dedicated Ram dealer, we love to show this truck to drivers who are serious about adventure.

The TRX hit showroom floors for the 2021 model year and rapidly became a group truck for those looking for power and adventure. It has luxury features, a powerful engine, great options, and a lot of convenience features. Whether you want this truck to be your daily driver or your weekend companion, we know it can do it all.

When you are ready to start building your TRX, you’re going to find some pretty unique packages available. If you plan on taking your TRX out for overnight trips to camping and off-road grounds and you don’t want low visibility or weather to slow you down, we highly recommend the Level 2 Equipment Group. It’s especially good for thrill-seeking enthusiasts who need to lug a lot of gear for their fun, too. Here are things we love about the Level 2 Equipment Group package available for the 2023 Ram 1500 TRX.

A Balance of Power and Function

Under the hood of the 2023 Ram 1500 TRX is a powerful supercharged 6.2-liter V8 HEMI engine paired with an 8-speed transmission that supports its 8,100-pound towing capacity and hefty overall frame. With this engine, you can expect 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Sometimes referred to as the “Raptor killer,” this performance-oriented truck outdoes the Ford F-150 Raptor in many ways, including with its horsepower and torque ratings.

The Goodyear Wrangler Territory All Terrain tires included on the TRX are ready for anything. Plus, it’s surprisingly fast for an off-roader, so you don’t have to choose between crawling abilities or speed. The TRX can go from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds.

Memory Where It Counts

Nobody wants to reprogram all of those little adjustable functions after someone else drives the vehicle around. You just want to focus on finding that next great secret off-road route everyone is talking about. That’s why we love the memory features in this package. It will remember your preferred radio settings, so the radio will instantly be set to find your favorite stations; you can quickly find the tunes that get you in that off-road mood.

The driver seat has memory, too, which is essential if you sometimes let other people drive your TRX (which is very generous of you). If someone adjusts the seat angle, height, or proximity to the pedals, the next time you get in the vehicle, it will recall your preferred settings and automatically revert to those.
The mirrors also have a memory function if you opt for the Level 2 Equipment Group. Start up your TRX, and the side view mirrors will automatically return to your preferred position to allow for optimal viewing around your truck. And it’s a lot of truck to monitor, so this feature makes a difference. Finally, even the adjustable pedals have memory, so they’ll return to your preferred settings each time you start up your vehicle.

Weather-Ready Functions

If you don’t want a little unexpected weather to slow down your off-road ambitions, you’ll like some of the weather-ready functions in the TRX. It gets rain-sensing windshield wipers that will instantly turn on when they detect a drop of condensation and adjust to the proper speed for the amount of rainfall. You don’t need to take a hand off the wheel to constantly adjust the wipers or turn them on and off as the weather changes. There’s also a rear window defroster that will quickly clear up that rear window when interior and exterior temperatures are so different they cause a haze. And that means less time waiting around for good visibility to hit the road.

For cold days, you’ll appreciate the heated steering wheel that will quickly nimble up those digits for aggressive off-road steering. You’ll also have heated front and rear seats so that everyone in the TRX is always comfortable. As for hot summer days, the front and rear seats are ventilated to keep you cool as you traverse wooded areas.

Impressive Adjustability

Comfort is king in the 2023 Ram 1500 TRX. Thanks to eight-way power driver and passenger seats, you can also adjust the height, angle, and steering wheel proximity of your seat to suit your needs. Your front-seat passenger can do the same, so everybody can be comfortable on your many adventures.

Thoughtful Lighting Details

If you don’t want the sunset to mean the end of the thrills, you’ll like the thoughtful lighting features inside and outside of the TRX. First off, you get useful pick-up box lighting, letting you easily see the stuff in your bed once it’s dark out. This lighting system will make packing, unpacking, and tailgating easier than ever.
The instrument-panel LED lighting gives you excellent visibility of all of your controls once it’s dark out. And finally, front-door accent lighting helps you see what’s in those side-door storage compartments.

Convenient Cargo Features

When you’re always hitting the trails, you’re loading and unloading things constantly. Plus, being away from modern civilization triggers the need to bring a lot of stuff. So, we love the cargo compartments and features of the TRX Level 2 Equipment Group package.

You’ll get a full-length floor console that’s ideal for stashing valuables like your wallet or phone when you take off for a dirt bike run or dip in the lake. The rear seats boast a 60/40 split-folding design, helping you make more interior cargo room when you need it.

This equipment package also gets a power tailgate release. That means an electric motor will lower and raise your tailgate, so you don’t have to do so manually. It’s easier on you when your hands are full and can prolong the lifespan of your tailgate because it allows for slow, gentle lowering.

Unbelievable Technology

No trip would be complete without an impressive audio system. With the Level 2 Equipment Group, you can add a 19-speaker Harmon Kardon premium sound system to your TRX. This will pair quite nicely with the 12-inch infotainment system found standard in this luxury off-roading vehicle.
