TRX What is it ?

[vietvet]

Six years ago I bought a 2008 Ram 1500 which had the letters TRX4 on the side of the bed. Whenever I go the the parts store, which is too frequently, I tell them I have a ST or SLT because there are no TRX4s listed in 2008. I don't even know what TRX stands for.

As far as I can tell the TRX4 was an option package.

this, the TRX4 was a light off-road package that was then replaced by the outdoorsman.

The new Ram 1500 TRX is a completely different beast.

Ram Cashier at a drive through: "Sir, can I take your order?"

Me: "Yeah. Lemme get a Ram 1500 with some extra TRX."
