All-New 2025 Ram 1500 RHO Debuts with Best Value in Light-Duty Lineup

May 27, 2024

The all-new 2025 Ram 1500 RHO makes its debut, solidifying Ram Truck's position as North America’s leader in off-road trucks. This latest model exemplifies Ram's performance truck leadership, offering the best value with more horsepower per dollar than any other off-road vehicle, priced at $129.60 per horsepower.

“The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is the latest result of our relentless pursuit to engineer, design, and deliver a truck that charges into the segment head down and horn up,” said Tim Kuniskis, Ram brand CEO at Stellantis. “All that we’ve learned from developing every truck in Ram’s legendary lineup has led us to the most capable light-duty pickup truck, offering the best value with more horsepower per dollar than any other off-road truck.”

Power and Performance

The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is powered by the all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output (H/O) Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engine from Stellantis' Hurricane Twin-turbo family. This engine delivers an impressive 540 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque, offering better fuel economy and lower emissions while outpowering other naturally aspirated V-8 and boosted six-cylinder engines in the light-duty segment.

The RHO boasts a maximum towing capacity of 8,380 pounds, a maximum payload of 1,520 pounds, and the ability to ford up to 32 inches of water. This truck is part of Ram’s Core/Electric/Sport approach, expanding the Sport light-duty lineup that includes the Warlock and Rebel.

Technological and Structural Enhancements

The Ram 1500 RHO features a new exhaust system, distinct from the rest of the Ram 1500 lineup, incorporating a Sport Tune low-restriction system with true dual pipes. It is equipped with a BorgWarner 48-13 full-time active transfer case, designed for enhanced off-road capability and durability. This system includes a low range of 2.64:1 for rock crawling and can be flat-towed while in neutral.

An independent front suspension system with active performance damping and high-strength aluminum components ensures durability and strength. The Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks use precision-machined, single-piece construction to reduce heat and continuously adjust damping forces, optimizing body control and terrain isolation. The Dana 60 rear axle with full floating axle shafts, a rear electronic locking differential, and 35-inch tires enhance the truck's off-road performance.

Design and Interior Features

The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO stands out with an aggressive stance and an hourglass body design. Composite flares accommodate 35-inch tires and 18-inch available bead lock wheels, making the RHO eight inches wider than other models in the lineup. The truck features a unique R-A-M badge, front grille, hood, skid plates, and steel bumpers, contributing to its rugged appearance.

Inside, the Ram 1500 RHO combines new features, technology, and premium materials, including hand-wrapped instrument panels. The truck boasts premium 12-way power leather front seats with memory settings, a new massage function, and embroidered logos. The interior also features a 14.5-inch touchscreen display, a 10.25-inch passenger screen, and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, all part of the Uconnect 5 system.

The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO also offers advanced driver-assist technologies, including Hands-free Driving Assist, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system with 19 speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer.

Built in Sterling Heights, Michigan, the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO will arrive in dealerships in the third quarter of 2024, starting at $69,995, excluding the $1,995 destination fee. Orders for the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO are open now.
