The 2025 RAM 1500 RHO has officially arrived—and it’s more than just a replacement for the legendary TRX. It’s a new chapter in high-performance off-road trucks. With a twin-turbo inline-six, aggressive design, and new-generation tech, the 2025 RAM 1500 RHO is redefining what a full-size performance truck can be.
In this article, we’ll cover everything buyers need to know: the 2025 RAM 1500 RHO specs, performance data, engine details, technology upgrades, and where to find the 2025 RAM 1500 RHO for sale near you.
What Is the 2025 RAM 1500 RHO?
The RAM 1500 RHO is a new high-performance variant that replaces the outgoing supercharged V8-powered TRX. Built on the updated 2025 RAM 1500 platform, the RHO blends off-road ability with powerful, efficient engineering.
Where the TRX was loud and supercharged, the RHO is leaner, more responsive, and more advanced under the hood. It’s the first RAM performance truck powered by the all-new 3.0L Hurricane High Output (H/O) twin-turbo inline-six, and it delivers performance numbers that rival the TRX—without the thirst of a Hellcat engine.
2025 RAM 1500 RHO Engine and Performance
At the heart of the 2025 RAM 1500 RHO is the 3.0L Hurricane H/O Twin-Turbo I6. This engine is part of Stellantis’ new wave of high-output, low-emissions powerplants designed to replace aging V8s without sacrificing power.
Key Engine Specs:
- Engine: 3.0L Hurricane H/O twin-turbo inline-6
- Horsepower: 540 hp
- Torque: 521 lb-ft
- Transmission: 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic
- Drivetrain: Full-time 4WD
- 0–60 mph: Estimated 4.0 seconds
The power curve of the Hurricane engine is broader and flatter than the TRX’s supercharged V8, giving the RHO a more responsive feel at a wider range of speeds. And with less weight on the front end, this truck handles better off-road and on pavement alike.
How It Compares to the TRX
| Specification | RAM TRX (2024) | RAM RHO (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower | 702 hp | 540 hp |
| Torque | 650 lb-ft | 521 lb-ft |
| Engine | 6.2L Supercharged V8 | 3.0L Twin-Turbo I6 |
| 0–60 mph | 4.5 seconds | ~4.0 seconds |
| Estimated MPG | 10–14 mpg | 15–19 mpg |
| Weight Savings | N/A | ~200+ lbs |
While the RHO gives up some horsepower, it makes up for it in handling, weight distribution, and efficiency. It’s still brutally fast—but now in a package that aligns with evolving performance engineering trends.
Suspension, Chassis, and Off-Road Upgrades
RAM didn’t just drop in a new engine and call it a day. The 2025 RAM 1500 RHO is built with extreme off-road use in mind:
- Active Performance Suspension with Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive dampers
- Wider track and high-clearance fenders
- 35-inch all-terrain tires on 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels
- 13 inches of front suspension travel, 14 inches in the rear
- Skid plates, tow hooks, and off-road tuned modes for sand, rock, mud, and snow
This is a truck that doesn’t just go fast—it tackles sand dunes, river crossings, and mountain trails with ease.
Interior: High-Tech Meets Rugged Luxury
Inside, the 2025 RAM 1500 RHO offers a tech-forward cabin that rivals luxury SUVs while still being built to handle trail duty.
Interior Features:
- 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen
- 12.3-inch digital cluster with performance pages
- Passenger-side 10.25-inch interactive display
- Harman Kardon 19-speaker premium audio
- Heated and ventilated RHO-specific sport seats
- Real carbon fiber trim and suede inserts
- Head-up display and off-road telemetry tools
RAM also updated its tailgate and bed utility, giving RHO buyers access to optional RamBox cargo systems, a multifunction tailgate, and LED bed lighting.
