About IPUA (International Pick-up Award)

The #internationalpickupaward (IPUA) was started in 2009 with the aim of crowning the most efficient 1-tonne pick-up #truck in the market. As a multi-functional vehicle produced and sold globally, the pick-up continues to evolve with new manufacturers entering the marketplace, while the traditional brands remain to set the standard for others to follow.
The 2022 edition of IPUA will be held in Croatia in early October, near Zadar. Over the two days of the event, the attending pick-ups, contenders to the main prize will be put through their paces both on- and off-road.
Before electing the overall winner, the nominated trucks are tested and analyzed by the expert panel of the IVOTY jury during a special group test.

Design

New aesthetic #design pairs chiseled form with extreme function

The #ram TRX features an aggressive stance and an impossibly wide, muscular body wrapped over the top of it. Like a mixed martial arts fighter in a tailored tuxedo, the #ram TRX makes an impactful visual statement with an acute “hour-glass” body #design that features composite flares and fender wells that have been stretched to cover aggressive 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory 325/65/R18 All-Terrain tires, customized exclusively for #ram TRX in Europe. 

Ram TRX is 203,2 mm wider when compared to the rest of the #ram 1500 lineup and the composite flares help to compensate for a 152,4 mm increase in track width. Normally, #ram 1500 features a wheel that is 203,2 mm wide but the TRX #design team had to accommodate a wheel that is 228,6 mm wide. 

The front axle was shifted 20 millimeters forward to accommodate the 35-inch Goodyear Territory All- Terrain tires that were designed exclusively for TRX. The 35-inch tires are available with 18-inch beadlock-ready wheels with accent-color-matched rings. 

LED clearance marker lights flank the front bumper, creating a menacing light signature that further sets TRX apart from anything on the road – day or night. A new, aluminum hood features bright LED clearance lights that are integrated in the hood scoop. 

The hood scoop is responsible for 50 percent of air entering the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine while the other 50-percent enters through the grille. #design elements like the functional hood scoop are complemented by secondary details such as the functional air curtain just outboard of the headlamps, relieving high pressure zones at the front corners, and allowing air to pass through the fenders. 

A unique R-A-M badge, front grille, hood, skid plates and steel bumpers help the TRX meet extreme functional objectives. The “R-A-M” badge is bigger when compared to the rest of the #ram 1500 lineup and features a new “flow-through” #design that assists with airflow. All-black premium LED headlamps, including twin bi-functional projector headlamps, are standard. 

TRX buyers can choose an optional full-length rock rail for added body/sill protection or traditional off-road powder-coated aluminum running boards. Optional body-side and hood graphics are available as a pair or separately.
