With Ram announcing that the 1500 TRX is driving off into the sunset and releasing the Final Edition to celebrate it, the super truck has started ending up in the hands of rendering artists a bit more than before.
That's right, the one pictured above doesn't actually exist, and we can only thank God and every other deity for that. After all, it may rock some flashy looks like a champ, but any vehicle on oversized wheels is simply ridiculous, and the Ram 1500 TRX makes no exception.

In the hands of 412donklife on Instagram, it has received a set of 28-inch wheels made by Forgiato. Sporting a double Y-spoke pattern, they have a purple finish that goes in hand with the rest of the exterior. The visible bolts have a light yellow hue, just like the wheelmaker's logo, lug nuts, brake calipers, and a few emblems all around. The chrome delete package, smoked headlamps, and glossy black look of the bumpers, side skirts, and fender flares round off the virtual makeover.

The pixel manipulator shared These digital illustrations online not long after revealing an even flashier vehicle. We are talking about that Ram 3500 with its unicorn puke-like wrap that mixes different shades of purple and pink, the 32-inch wheels, blacked-out trim and lighting units, and the squatting stance. The diesel truck is simply laughable with the said CGI mods, and we think it is even more ridiculous than the sporty high-rider with an open bed design pictured above in the gallery.

Now, while we're certainly not fans of this design, we can totally get behind that tuned example we wrote about two weeks ago. Featuring a few extra goodies, like the pop-up tent mounted on a special support in the bed, and the Forgiato wheels, part of the company's HF6-4 series, that tuned Ram 1500 TRX also has a few custom decals, and several orange accents contrasting the gray finish of the body. And despite the add-ons, it has had its pictures taken in the city rather than in the great outdoors.

But hey, no one cares about that, as what makes this model truly special, in addition to the numerous upgrades beneath the skin, inside and out, is the fact that it rocks the famous Hellcat motor. The 6.2-liter supercharged V8 steams out 702 horsepower (712 ps/524 kW) in the stock Ram 1500 TRX and 650 pound-feet (881 Nm) of torque. This four-wheel drive beast of a truck won't make a fool of itself at the drag strip, as it needs less than 13 seconds to complete the quarter mile. And it will beat a few previous-gen supercars to sixty, as the sprint takes only four and a half seconds.
