The massive Ram 1500 TRX pickup is known for incredible power and a commanding presence. But now a car influencer has Chuy RMZ, the pickup monster in one compact, two-door and two-seater version, which should also serve as inspiration for similar projects in the future. Instead of taking a simple single-cab Ram pickup and popping it with the TRX engine, Chuy grabbed a “real” one 1500 TRX. He quickly sawed it in half to make it Wheelbase significantly reduced, and then welded the chassis and body back together. But that's not all: the influencer even transformed the all-wheel drive monster into a pure one Rear-wheel drive, by giving the front drive shaft removed.

The lack of all-wheel drive means that the pickup is no longer as capable off-road, but it can do burnouts that are Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in no way inferior. As an original version, the TRX is by the way supercharged 6,2-liter Hemi V8 fired up, the full one 712 PS and 881 NM torque generated. This means the off-roader accelerates in just a moment 4,5 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and makes the quarter mile in 12,9 seconds and at a speed of 174 km/h. By the way, Chuy RMZ affectionately calls his modified one-of-a-kind the “Baby TRX”, and of course you can see why that is. With the strong shortened wheelbase and the switch to pure rear-wheel drive The Baby TRX should be a lot of fun on the road.

Now one more please Hennessey MAMMOTH kit...

Sure, the handling won't be optimal due to the change in weight distribution, but it should weigh significantly less than the series and could therefore even handle it in a straight line be even faster. Of course, cutting up the frame and modifying the entire vehicle is not without risk. The structural integrity may suffer, which may have a negative impact on safety. But for anyone thinking about making their pickup unique, copying Chuy RMZ's idea could certainly be an interesting approach. With the Baby TRX, Chuy RMZ has definitely created a compact rocket that proves that even in the world of huge pickups there is room for a little "compact playfulness“Is.
