T-Rex -- The Ultimate Ram

So you want a three-axle 6x6 personal-use vehicle that outmaneuvers, out-tows, and out-hauls
any light-duty truck on the planet? Take cover, here comes Dodge's Technology Research Experimental Vehicle, or T-REX for short. But make no mistake, “short” is a word you would think twice about using when referring to a Ram Pickup with a stretched cargo bed to accommodate tandem rear axles.

The distinctive handling, traction and capacity capabilities of the T-Rex come from the unique tandem rear axle design. The system delivers full-time four-wheel drive to the rear axles and
full- or part-time six-wheel drive with the front axle engaged.

The electronically controlled air suspension offers automatic load leveling, adjustable ride height and selectable ride control, with a potential towing capacity of 26,000 pounds gross combined weight (GCW) and a payload of up to 5,000 pounds.

What may be most remarkable about the T-Rex is the Ram traits it has retained. Most of the power train components are enhanced factory parts, including a modified 8.0-liter Magnum V10 with 500 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, the Chrysler heavy-duty four-speed automatic
transmission and two Dana rear axles.

Dodge was able to make the 10-month development time by specifically using off-the-shelf parts for axles, suspension components, frame sections, cab and pickup box.

Earthshaking power. Groundbreaking capacity. Only from a company that dares to change the rules. Again!
