The All-New 2025 Ram 1500 RHO Introduce https://youtu.be/UYZgh0nci-Q
With a lane-hogging body, a beefed-up suspension, and buckets of attitude, the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is a stallion compared with average workday pickups. This off-road-focused truck is based on a good one: the regular half-ton Ram 1500, which donates its platform and luxurious cabin to the cause. The RHO replaces the 1500 TRX in Ram's lineup this year, and monster-truck fans will undoubtedly miss its 702-hp supercharged V-8. In the HEMI V-8'ss place is a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six with 540 horsepower. That's enough grunt to continue to fight the Ford F-150 Raptor, but expect a drastically toned-down engine note compared to the truck it replaces. Before we get too down on the demise of the force-fed V-8, consider that Ram has equipped the RHO with plenty of off-road and performance goodies to make up for the switch in powertrains. A specially tuned air-spring suspension system is standard, and the RHO sits two inches higher than the standard 1500 4x4 with up to 11.8 inches of ground clearance and 14 inches of rear suspension travel. By all accounts, this beast promises to be just as capable off-road as its predecessor, and maybe more—if a touch less speedy when ripping through the woods and flying over sand dunes.
