I feel like people calling a TRX an SRT vehicle is a bit of a stretch. A basic 5.7L Hemi N/A RHO is not an SRT vehicle either. Would I speculate that the TRX is going to make its return? Yeah absolutely. It legitimately makes sense for that to be a thing. What I am thinking is that the SRT truck is going to be based off of the Dude concept with a 550hp Hurricane and another trim of it with a 650hp Supercharged 5.7L Hemi. I could see both trucks sporting the aggressive RHO/TRX styling with side exhaust systems, lowered, Brembos, big wheels with wide tires, street performance suspension tuning, an SRT level interior and the whole nine yards.
Really hear me out on this one guys, I'm glad SRT is back. I'm glad we have our choices in powertrains and I'm glad that internal combustion is still going to live on. The problem is being able to afford it. Another thing that really kind of sucks with all of this is the fact that Stellantis only focuses it's performance goodies and things on the top tier cars and completely leaves out everyone who can not afford the high end SRT models. That needs to change. SRT and Direct Connection need to not only have their pre-built vehicles, that whole department needs to also have a catalog for the lower trims so people can built their cars and keep the "built not bought" culture alive. that was the biggest part of the community, people coming together and showing of the rides that they built. Remember, people had Mopars with 318's, 340's, 360's and 383's under the hoods, not just 440s and 426 Hemis. I would much rather have a Charger GT with the new 325hp Hurricane-4 under the hood with AWD and maybe a "Super Track Pack" setup off the show room floor that I could afford and then be able to go online to the Direct Connection catalog and pick out what I want for my car and go to a Power Brokers dealer, purchase my parts, have them installed and have something that I could truly enjoy and still keep my warranty. Most people agree that the new hood, spoiler, and front lip from that purple SEMA car look great, just way too expensive and nobody really wants carbon fiber. WE WANT THOSE FENDERS!!!! Sorry, had to throw that in there. But all jokes aside. It would be cooler to be able to have an affordable Hurricane-4 Charger and be able to pop the hood and show off a Direct Connection Cold air intake, blow off valve, intercooler piping and intercooler, a Direct connection tuner, an SRT low restriction exhaust system with optional tips (maybe even an option of the '71-'74 Charger style exhaust tips with a 5" diameter in different colors with optional slot colors), SRT/Direct Connection wheel options, brake options, suspension upgrades, chassis upgrades, graphics and interior upgrades including the LED air bag covers with options like the Fratzog logo, GT logo, etc. that Alpine subwoofer that was shown off at Roadkill nights earlier this year, shifter options and even display options with different gauge styles and lastly, Katzkin seat options for both high and low back seats. This shouldn't be just for the Charger though, Direct Connection should have options for the Durango, the Jeeps, and Ram trucks including the new midsize truck that will be here in a few years. It would be nice to see Dodge include everyone into "The Brotherhood of Muscle."
