World’s Fastest & Most Powerful Pickup Truck
Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle builder, has started production of the world’s most powerful pickup truck, the Hennessey MAMMOTH 1000 TRX with its upgraded 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 boasting 1,012bhp. Measuring just over 19 feet long, almost 7 feet wide and 6½ feet tall, it's based on the 702bhp Dodge Ram 1500 TRX pickup truck. The high-performance-focused enhancements by Hennessey cut the 0-60 mph time to just 3.2 seconds - the quickest in the world - while torque grows to 969 lb-ft. With modifications including a high-flow 2.65L supercharger, fuel injectors and high-flow induction system alongside performanceboosting calibration, the 6.2-liter V8 truck can achieve an 11.4-second quarter mile at over 120 mph.
Including buying the stock TRX, US owners opting for the MAMMOTH 1000 will typically pay in the region of $150,000 for their build. The majority of owners will take a highly spec. stock model, and add the MAMMOTH 1000 package and the Stage 2 off-road enhancements, which adds custom bumpers, LED lights, a front levelling kit, 37-inch off road tires and upgraded electronic fold-out steps, and a 2 year / 24,000-mile warranty. Hennessey will ensure exclusivity for its customers by limiting production of the MAMMOTH 1000 - just 200 will be produced in 2021, and each truck is fitted with a special chassis plate recording its build number. The company has already sold more than 100 trucks,. But why have a 1,000-horsepower pickup truck? Why not‽
