to clothing, while the bolsters
provide better lateral support,
while a sport bar covered in
black anodized paint, provides
anchor points dedicated to
the six-point harnesses and
spans from B-pillar to B-pillar.
This was designed to provide
maximum seat travel for a
variety of drive ride heights.
Knowing one can always
expect the unexpected while
driving in places like Baja, the
engineers added an open upper
glove box with elastic straps
that hold a sturdy TRX-labeled
bag with color matched tools.
To provide drivers with all of
the necessary information, a
seven-inch thin-film transistor
(TFT) display cluster features
muddy tracks and TRX badge
graphics. The same graphics
fill the screen on an 8.4
Uconnect. In addition to the
large screen, drivers can record
their drive with a custom
camera mount that is located
at the rear-view mirror.
One nice interior touch is
the Nylon-strap door pulls
embroidered with "Release."
Another nice detail is the lack
of carpeting. Knowing how
dirty and dusty a real off-road
performance truck can get, they
opted for using black rubberized
coating, along with back
all-weather mats from Mopar
to reduce foot slip when foot-
to-pedal placement is crucial.
It's easy to see that Ram
took the creation of the Rebel
TRX seriously. They didn't just
add larger tires and a bigger
engine. They learned what
types of components and
modifications are necessary
to build a real high-speed off-
road truck, and incorporated it
into an existing platform that is
completely "legit," but doesn't
stray away too much from the
truck's original design. While
the Rebel TRX is only a concept,
we certainly hope that it can
someday become a reality..SJ
