Behold the all-new 2023 Ram TRX Havoc Edition, a formidable and robust truck now presented in a fresh coat of paint.
The Ram TRX reigns supreme in the high-performance pickup segment. It currently holds the title of the fastest mass-produced pickup truck available, boasting not only the highest top speed but also the most power thanks to its impressive 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine generating a hefty 702 horsepower. The new Havoc Edition, on the other hand, aims to cater to those seeking a personalized and exceptionally rapid pickup truck experience.
The standout feature of the Havoc Edition is its striking Baja Yellow exterior color. In addition, buyers can expect a graphics package, 18-inch sleek black wheels, a dual-pane sunroof, and a cab-mounted brake light. Inside, the cabin is adorned with “Prowler Yellow” accent stitching to complement the theme, alongside various badges and carbon fiber accents on the dashboard.
Prominently placed in the center console is a “Havoc Edition” badge showcasing the truck’s engine specifications, power output, and boost level rated at 11 psi.
The truck is equipped with the TRX Level 2 Equipment Group, typically an option costing $10,995 for the 2023 models. This group includes a 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, ambient lighting in the front doors, and a leather-and-suede finished flat-bottom steering wheel. Other additions comprise power-adjustable pedals and driver’s seat with memory function, a surround-view camera system, and ventilated front and rear seats.
In terms of safety, the special edition model includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic emergency braking systems. Additionally, the Bed Utility group is specified, offering cargo tie-downs, a bed step, and a spray-in bedliner for enhanced practicality during demanding and soiled tasks.
The release of the Havoc Edition follows Ram’s tradition of introducing exclusive variants. Past examples include the Ram TRX Ignition Edition, which featured a bold orange color scheme and comparable graphics to the new Havoc Edition. Just like its predecessor, it comes with the TRX Level 2 Equipment Package and is produced in limited quantities. Notably, it also sports a special badge on the center console.
The Havoc Edition is priced starting at $106,445, inclusive of destination charges. While it may represent a significant investment for a pickup truck, it primarily offers cosmetic enhancements and yellow paint that are also available on the standard Ram TRX. Nonetheless, Ram has signaled that they will be available in very limited quantities, so if Baja Yellow catches your eye, make sure to contact your dealer promptly. The Havoc Edition is scheduled to hit the market in the first quarter of 2023.
