Ram Ignition scoop

Today, Ram unveiled the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX Ignition Edition at the State Fair of Texas, along with the 2022 Ram 1500 Longhorn SouthFork and (RAM)RED.

Ram 1500 TRX Ignition Edition

The Ram 1500 TRX Ignition Edition enhances the already-well-appointed TRX with more unique content for personalization. Only 875 will be made for the entire United States, with a unique combination of technology, graphics, performance, and exterior appearance straight from the factory; the headline is still that supercharged Hemi under the hood, but the unique orange-and-black paint scheme and graphics package project the image more clearly.

The Ram 1500 TRX Ignition, only sold with the TRX Level 2 Equipment Group, adds a unique Ignition  color and graphics, 18-inch machine face black wheels, panoramic sunroof, spray-in bed-liner, cargo tie-downs, bed step, and an LED cab-mounted brake light.

Inside, the TRX Ignition Edition includes Copperhead Orange stitching and an embroidered “TRX” seat back logo, copper carbon fiber accents, orange center console badge, head-up display, a custom driver’s screen, pedestrian emergency braking, and an orange Ram logo on the slush mats.

Does the number 875 (the number of 2022 Ignitions being made) mean anything? We’ll leave that to the numerologists, for now.

The 2022 Ram 1500 TRX Ignition Edition also includes the proven and reliable high-performance 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine, which is able to maintain its full output without flagging. The list price starts at $93,280 (including destination), and ordering opens in the fourth quarter of 2021.
