The driver and passenger discuss the truck's advanced suspension, torque split, and transmission behavior during high-speed off-road maneuvers. ### Key Points - **Course Overview** [00:02] — The off-road course includes two jumps: a 45 mph jump and a full throttle jump that launches the truck about 100 feet. - **Baja Mode Settings** [00:17] — Traction is off, paddle shifters are on, steering is in sport, and transmission is in Baja mode. A sighting lap was completed before the run. - **Suspension at Full Droop** [01:05] — At full droop, the suspension reaches maximum stiffness to anticipate landing, and mid-air the transfer case disconnects with full ABS. - **Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive Handling** [02:39] — The truck rotates nicely into corners despite being full-time 4WD, thanks to tuning that provides traction on exit without needing to switch modes. - **Torque Split in Baja Mode** [03:18] — Baja mode sets a base torque split of 25% front and 75% rear, but it dynamically adjusts based on steering angle, throttle position, and yaw sensor. - **Transmission Behavior on Jumps** [03:45] — When jumping at full throttle, the transmission holds the gear to prevent upshifting mid-air, and the clutch opens to allow front wheels to spin freely if they land first. - **Encouraging Throttle Open** [04:27] — The truck is designed to encourage keeping the throttle open during landing to maintain power and prevent nose-diving, similar to a motorcycle technique. ### Conclusion The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT demonstrates impressive off-road capability with intelligent torque distribution and transmission logic that enhances control and safety during jumps. ## Transcript Baja off-road course. We've got two jumps, a 45 mph jump, and then a full throttle jump coming out of this corner. This will jump about 100 ft. We've got us in our Baja settings. Traction is off. We've got our paddle shifters are on, and steering's in sport, transmission's in Baja. Tune through the course. We already did a sighting lap. Let's head out there for bit easier and then we'll see how we feel with the truck. We'll see if we're comfortable and everything and ramp it up from there. All right. Good to go? >> Red truck is hot on the track. >> Nice little slide in Baja mode here over some whoops. >> Maintain speed. >> Great. Beautiful. So at full droop, the suspension is going to max stiffness so it can anticipate that landing. throttle. >> ABS calibration feels great off-road. >> Got it. >> Okay, and hit the brakes now. >> Mid-air, it'll disconnect the transfer case, full ABS there. Nice. Take these whoops a little bit easier. Handles them really well, though. >> All right, set up the jump for 45 again. Just steady steady speed is good. Just steady steady speed is good. >> Got it. >> Beautiful. Nice little trail braking in. Nice little trail braking in. >> Nice. Nice. The late day impacts is pretty good here though, you know. >> Truck feels fantastic off-road. Little bit of ABS ice mode there, but we >> Wide open wide open throttle. Hammer down. >> Awesome. >> There you go. >> All right. Let's do a cool down lap. >> Cool. Thank you. That was fantastic. Good job. >> [laughter] designed this really well. >> Yeah. this being full-time four-wheel drive, sometimes you know, you you get you get both that traction, but also that that ability to kind of adjust the character throttle off throttle. It seemed to rotate nicely going into corner. It >> I was trying to explain it during my speech this morning that, you know, even though it's in four-wheel drive all the time, we tune it in the way that it Because you need the four-wheel drive traction when you're exiting the turn. >> You can't be switching to two-wheel two-wheel drive will give you a really >> Sure. >> It's It looks cool, but you don't get the traction when you want it, right? >> Is there uh is there a different torque split when you're in Baja mode? >> Baja mode sets it at 25% front and 75% >> Oh, it feels great. >> Yeah, but once your like steering wheel knows to put more power to the front. It's not just It's not like a fixed torque split. It's constantly looking at steering wheel angle, looking at your throttle position, looking at the yaw sensor in >> Okay. What's happening when you go off of a jump at full throttle? You hit max drip. What's what's the truck doing? >> The truck is taking the transmission and keeping it in the same gear as you're taking off. So, you don't actually upshift and land in a different gear. for you. Uh so, that when you land, you're not uh >> Okay, yeah. I felt kind of a little bit of a rev limiter as soon as I took off. opening the clutch up so that the front wheels if the front wheels do land >> Okay. >> So, yeah. So, that Does that make sense? transmission holds gears. >> A little bit of self-preservation going >> Yeah. And uh I think we're the only one that does that to encourage our customers to keep the throttle open. Because if once you land, you want the power to keep going. You don't want And then the power on helps you keep the >> Yep. >> You know? If you like hit the brakes in of like a motorcycle. You get like >> Sure, that's right. You're going to you're jumping, you're just going to nose dive. All right? So, >> Well, thank you so much. That was fantastic. Appreciate it. Yeah. dirt on it, too. Uh yes. See you, bud. Yeah. It's a good time. We got the POV uh crew here. >> Yeah, all my POV disciples. trucks off of jumps. >> That's what we get to do today, master? Good things? >> Yes. We've done race cars. We've done No, that's like one of the coolest things I don't even want to watch the video cuz it'll never live up to how terrified I was holding that throttle. Good stuff. Dude, and had this like falling over my face so I'm like I have no idea what this FOOTAGE LOOKS LIKE. there, but >> Okay. bit, but it's all right. >> I tried to get it, but then I was just >> I don't need to see. I'm just going to feel the dirt. Holy dude. What the >> Yeah, it's good stuff. Super fun. >> Yeah, it's good stuff. Super fun. >> Oh.
