Rent Dodge Ram 2022 in Dubai

The Dodge Ram 2022 we rent in Dubai is the TRX, the supercharged 6.2-litre monster of the pickup world, and we'll deliver it to your door inside one to two hours. This is not a sensible airport-run truck. With 702 hp and a 0-100 km/h time of around 4.5 seconds, it's a full-size pickup that accelerates like a sports car and turns heads on Sheikh Zayed Road the way few rentals do. Our honest take: rent this when the truck is the occasion, a photoshoot, a desert weekend, a week where you want something genuinely outrageous. If you just need to move people or cargo cheaply, almost anything else makes more sense, and we'll explain why below.

The engine, and what 702 hp feels like

The headline is the supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8 pushing 702 hp through an automatic gearbox to all four wheels. In a two-and-a-half-tonne truck those numbers sound improbable, and then you flatten the throttle and the thing simply launches. Around 4.5 seconds to 100 km/h in a vehicle this size is the kind of stat that doesn't fully land until you feel it.

On the E11 it cruises with monstrous reserves in hand. Overtaking isn't a decision, it's a thought. Top speed is electronically limited to 190 km/h, which is academic in Dubai but tells you how much muscle is on tap. The flip side is that this engine drinks. Combined consumption sits around 19.6 litres per 100 km on the official figures, and drive it the way it begs to be driven and you'll see worse. The 125-litre tank is huge, but so is the thirst.

Spec at a glance

Size, parking and the reality of driving it here

There's no soft-pedalling this: at nearly six metres long and 2.23 metres wide, the TRX is enormous. Standard multi-storey bays in Dubai malls are a tight, sometimes impossible fit, and the Marina ramps and narrow older car parks will test your patience and your mirrors. Plan to park outdoors or in the larger surface lots, and give yourself room. Cameras and sensors help, but physics doesn't bend for them.

The upside of that size is presence and a commanding view of the road. You sit high above everything, which on a busy Sheikh Zayed Road is genuinely useful. Just accept that errands which are trivial in a hatchback become a project in this truck.

Where it actually shines: the desert

With around 300 mm of ground clearance, proper four-wheel drive and suspension built for high-speed off-road running, the TRX is in its element away from tarmac. This is the truck for a Hatta run or a serious desert weekend, where its width and travel turn rough ground into a non-event. If your week includes sand and dunes, suddenly all that size and power has a point. As a city-only rental, you're paying for capability you'll never touch.

Heat, cabin and the costs that fall to you

Inside, the cabin is large and well-equipped, and the climate system has the grunt to cool it, though a vehicle with this much glass and metal still bakes when parked in 45-degree sun. Give it a minute with the doors shut before you climb in. Five people fit in real comfort, so it's no penalty box.

A few Dubai rules to keep in mind. Salik tolls are billed to you at every gantry, RTA fines during the rental are yours, and a wide, heavy truck attracts attention, so drive it cleanly. Fuel is the big one: with that thirst, budget properly for petrol over a week. A child seat is required by law for under-fours and we'll fit one on request.

Who should rent it, and who shouldn't

Rent the Ram TRX 2022 if you want a statement, a desert weapon, or simply the experience of driving one of the maddest production pickups ever built. For a special occasion, a content shoot, or a proper off-road trip, nothing on a normal rental lot comes close, and the four-wheel-drive ability is real, not marketing.

Skip it for everyday duty. If you need a truck to haul or to run airport transfers economically, a standard pickup or a large SUV costs far less to fuel and parks without drama. And if you only ever drive in the city, you'll spend the week wrestling its size and feeding its tank for power you can't legally use. Pick the TRX for what it's for, and it's unforgettable.
