2021 Ram 1500 TRX: 10 Things You Really Want to Know About the New Bad Boy

# 5 Position lights

You’ll also have noticed the presence of position lights in the bumpers, under the tailgate and even inside the functional air intake on the hood. The TRX is so wide that the automaker had to add them to the body of its mastodon. I have to admit, it gives it an even more "truck-like" look. More truck-like of a truck, you die.

# 6 A shift lever

The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is also the only model in the 1500 lineup to inherit a good old-fashioned shift lever, like you’ll see in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, for example. All other Ram models offer a gear selection wheel instead. It's perhaps less ergonomic, but frankly a wheel would have felt ridiculous on this testosterone-fueled pickup.
