How many Dodge T-Rex were made?
In the early 2000s, I used to play a driving game called Test Drive. I distinctly remember there was a really cool six-wheel Dodge truck that you could unlock in the game. One of my friends told me this was the T-Rex, and it got me thinking—how many Dodge T-Rex were actually produced?

You’re absolutely right! This game did feature a Dodge T-Rex. However, no Dodge T-Rexes were ever made.
Dodge introduced the Ram-based truck as a concept car back in 1997. What made it so notable, as you recall, is the six-wheel drive and three axles. It was even boosted by an eight-liter Magnum V10 engine—so you know this truck was designed for serious towing.
While the truck was well-received, it was never produced. Fortunately, aspects of the T-Rex made it into later vehicles—the V10 engine was later offered on some models, air suspension is currently offered as an option, and the T-Rex’s boxed frame is now standard on Ram trucks.
Your closest option to a real-life Dodge T-Rex is the
Ram 1500
TRX. You won’t get the iconic six-wheel drive, but you will enjoy a responsive four-wheel drive system and a supercharged V8 engine. Just remind yourself that it’s got the same frame (and enjoy the fact that you won’t have six wheels to maintain)!If you’ve got your heart set on a V10 engine like the T-Rex, check out the 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 or the 2008
Ford F-250 Super Duty
. Then make sure to strap up with full coverage insurance
for extra safety on your rugged off-roading adventures!View full answer
