The Dodge T-Rex was a Ram-based concept vehicle produced by Dodge in 1997 with three axles and six-wheel drive.{{Cite web |last=D |first=Nick |date=2016-04-15 |title=1997 Dodge T-Rex 6X6 Concept |url=https://www.supercars.net/blog/1997-dodge-t-rex-6x6-concept/ |access-date=2024-02-02 |website=Supercars.net |language=en-US}}

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 suggested more than stock.

Daimler AG (then known as Daimler-Benz AG which would merge with Chrysler in 1998 to form DaimlerChrysler) later produced 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.
