A leak reports Stellantis officials confirmed the return of the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 to the Ram 1500 lineup, and the return of the Ram TRX will with more power.

Last year, Ram replaced its outrageous, Ford F-150 Raptor-fighting TRX 1500 with a more subdued six-cylinder Baja-style truck called the RHO. There's plenty to love about the Hurricane-powered "Rhino," but many Ram fans could not help but miss the big supercharged V-8 in the TRX. Fortunately, they may not be missing the TRX for long.

The TRX nameplate could reappear next year as a new V-8-powered performance truck, with output possibly rising above 702 hp.

With former CEO Carlos Tavares out at Stellantis, the V8 could find its way back into Ram's half-ton truck lineup.
