Hennessey produces World’s Fastest and Most Powerful Pick-up Truck – the MAMMOTH 1000 TRX

In spite of powerful electrically-powered vehicles appearing with greater frequency now, some companies are still developing more powerful vehicles with good old fashioned internal combustion engines.

One of them is Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), the well known Texas-based hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle builder, which has started production of the world’s most powerful pick-up truck, the MAMMOTH 1000 TRX.

6.2-litre engine boosted to 1,012 bhp/1,313 Nm
Based on the Dodge Ram 1500 TRX pick-up truck, the MAMMOTH 1000 TRX will have a 0 – 60 mph (0 – 96 km/h) time claimed to be just 3.2 seconds – making it the quickest truck in the world. The lightning-quick time is achieved by boosting output from the supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine.

Modifications include a high-flow 2.65-litre supercharger, fuel injectors and high-flow induction system alongside performance-boosting calibration raise output to 1012 bhp and torque to 1,313 Nm.

Measuring 5.81 metres long, 2.09 metres wide and 1.97 metres high, the imposing hypertruck makes an enormous statement on the road. Besides carrying 6 adults, it can carry a payload exceeding 1,045 kgs and towing more than 3,500 kgs.

“Because we can!”
“The new MAMMOTH 1000 TRX is the most powerful pick-up truck that Hennessey Performance has ever offered. The Ram TRX already boasts the highest horsepower of any vehicle manufacturer’s pick-up, so our performance, styling and off-road enhancements make this the most formidable new truck you can buy. We’ve already sold more than 100 trucks, with each answering one big question – why have a 1,000-horsepower pick-up truck? Because we can!” said John Hennessey, Company Founder and CEO.

HEP expects the majority of customers will take a highly specified standard model and add the MAMMOTH 1000 package and the Stage 2 off-road enhancements. The popular Stage 2 package adds custom bumpers, LED lights, a front levelling kit, 37-inch off road tyres and upgraded electronic fold-out steps.

Heavily modified but still comes with warranty
Including buying a standard TRX truck, customers will typically pay in the region of US$150,000 (about RM623,400) for the modification, with a 2-year/24,000-mile (38,650 kms) warranty. HEP will ensure exclusivity for its customers by limiting production volumes to 200 units produced during 2021.
