You might think you need a sleek, spine-tingling sports car to hit 60mph in under 3.5 seconds. But hold onto your seats, because Hennessey has just shattered that myth with their latest creation—the Mammoth 1000 TRX truck.
The Beast Unleashed
Hennessey Performance Engineering, renowned for its high-powered vehicles, has unveiled this near three-ton truck featuring an upgraded 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine, boasting over 1,000 horsepower. This behemoth can out-drag an Aston Martin Vantage, rocketing to 60mph in a mere 3.2 seconds.
Performance Redefined
Using the formidable Dodge Ram 1500 TRX as its foundation, Hennessey has tuned the already potent 692bhp engine, which is also found in the Hellcat muscle car, to produce a jaw-dropping 1,012bhp. This modification slashes the 0-to-60mph sprint time from 4.5 seconds to just 3.2 seconds. Despite being capped at a modest 122mph due to its off-road tires, this makes the Mammoth 1000 TRX the fastest pickup truck on record.
A Mighty Statement
Measuring 5.81 meters in length, 2.09 meters in width, and 1.97 meters in height, the Mammoth 1000 TRX is anything but subtle. It can comfortably carry six adults, handle a payload exceeding 1,043kg, and tow up to 3.5 tons. John Hennessey, the company founder and CEO, describes it as “the most comprehensive and capable performance truck on the market.”
Built for Power and Comfort
This truck’s incredible performance boost is primarily due to the addition of a larger supercharger, new fuel injectors, and a high-flow induction system, along with performance-enhancing adjustments in the ECU. With custom bumpers, LED lights, a front leveling kit, and upgraded electronic fold-out steps, it is as stylish as it is powerful.
A Limited Edition Marvel
Priced from $150,000 (approximately £108,000), only 200 units of this high-performance truck will be built. Half of these have already been sold, highlighting the demand for such a unique and powerful vehicle. John Hennessey himself said, “We’ve already sold more than 100 trucks, each answering one big question—why have a 1,000-horsepower pickup truck? Because we can!”
A Legacy of Performance
This year marks Hennessey’s 30th anniversary, a journey that started in a garage with high-performance versions of muscle cars like the Dodge Viper. The Mammoth 1000 TRX continues this legacy, showcasing what three decades of innovation and dedication can achieve.
