It was powered by the 8.0-liter Magnum V10 engine, borrowed from the production 1990s era Ram 2500/3500 V-10. The heavy-duty Ram engine made 300 horsepower and 450-pound feet of torque. Power was never officially rated for the T-Rex, although dodgeram.org suggests more than stock.

Mercedes-Benz, which owned Chrysler at the time, later made a 6X6 version of the G63 AMG SUV/truck.

A version of the T-Rex was featured as an unlockable vehicle in the 2001 driving game Test Drive: Off-Road Wide Open, as well as the PS1 game Test Drive Off Road 3.
