Apocalypse Manufacturing 4x4 Super Truck Ram TRX

Apocalypse Manufacturing has done it again. Done what? Gone Florida-style wild on a factory truck, resulting in monstrously larger-than-life features and a menacing personality. The company's latest Armageddon-hunting rig is the four-wheeled 4x4 Super Truck, and if you look closely enough at, you could probably tell it is based on the Ram TRX. It resembles the six-wheeled 6x6 Juggernaut build, minus the extra axle. The fact that the Super Truck only has four wheels makes it special—and amazingly downsized—among the company's builds. Apocalypse has about 220 other builds on the road, including the HellFire, Sinister 6, Doomsday, Dark Horse, Warlord, Juggernaut, and more.

It may look a bit medieval and barbaric mixed with a dose of DGAF, but the 4x4 Super Truck's bones are totally refined. Underneath the exterior's protective textured armored coating is a Ram 1500 TRX and all of technology and systems you'd expect from the factory truck. Apocalypse Manufacturing says the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V-8 (although Ram doesn't call it a Hellcat) in the 4x4 Super Truck makes 850 horsepower, up nearly 150 hp from the factory TRX output. The company doesn't specify exactly how it upped the ponies. The extra oomph helps compensate for the heft added during the build.

All the body panels have been sculpted and reworked to create a bulging chunkiness unknown to the original TRX—which isn't exactly petite in its factory form. The shelf-like, batwing-like gilled wheel wells allow for plenty of wheel clearance, while giving the truck a villainous feel. Perhaps, at 300 mph, it could take flight—if it were capable of such speeds. Under the wheel wells reside 22-inch SFJ (SoFloJeep, sister company of Apocalypse) wheels mounted on 40-inch Fury Country Hunter mud-terrain tires.

The prominent grille structure almost completely shrouds the headlights, and large fang-like vertical slats melting to the ground constitute the grille. Its grille/bumper fusion basically puts Fab Four's Grumper to shame, although it's missing the Grumper's winch capability. The windshield and cowl are encased in their own protruding body armor (making us wonder just how poor visibility is from the inside looking out) along with an embedded light bar in the roof visor above.

The bed features a weatherproof retractable slant-back with a roll and lock cover. The cover creates a wedge-shape silhouette akin to a Tesla Cybertruck jacked up on too much battery juice. Apocalypse says the bed is almost eight feet in length, which is substantially longer than a factory TRX's 5.7-foot bed. The steel-slated custom rear bumper is airy in contrast to the dense front end.

One interior of the 4x4 Super Truck is smothered in luxurious yet durable weatherproof rustic brown leather inserts that complement the factory black nicely. Apocalypse logos are found on the instrument cluster, steering wheel, and passenger-side dashboard.

The Apocalypse 4x4 Super Truck starts at $159,999 and is currently in stock and ready for, well, its namesake.
