Buckle Up for Extreme Truck Performance: The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO Is Coming
April 24 2024,
The pickup truck world has a new king of the hill, and its name is the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO. Unveiled today, this audacious new model cements Ram's position as the undisputed leader in off-road performance trucking across North America.
As part of Ram's Core/Electric/Sport strategy, the RHO expands the brand's formidable Sport lineup alongside vehicles like the Ram 1500 Warlock, Rebel, Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel, and the iconic Power Wagon. However, the RHO takes things to a whole new level of extreme, delivering performance and capability that eclipses anything else in the light-duty segment.
A Powertrain to Rule Them All
At the heart of this four-wheeled beast beats the all-new 3.0-litre Hurricane High Output Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engine. Producing a monstrous 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque, this powerplant leaves its competition's naturally aspirated V8s and turbocharged six-cylinders gasping for air. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the RHO launches from 0-100 km/h in a scorching 4.6 seconds and demolishes the quarter-mile in just 13.1 seconds at 169 km/h. Its top speed of 190 km/h ensures you'll never be merely along for the ride.
Supreme Capability, No Compromises
While its performance figures are enough to get any adrenaline junkie's heart racing, the RHO's true party piece is its uncompromising off-road prowess. A unique long-travel suspension system with adaptive damping, inspired by desert racers, allows the RHO to conquer even the most punishing terrain with ease. The advanced Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shocks continuously optimize damping forces for unparalleled body control and ride quality.
With an incredible 813 mm (32 inches) of water fording capability, a maximum towing capacity of 3,801 kg (8,380 lbs), and a payload rating of 689 kg (1,520 lbs), the RHO solidifies its status as the most capable light-duty pickup truck in Canada.
Aggressive Looks, Luxurious Cabin
The RHO's menacing "hourglass" body design and bulging composite flares stretched over 35-inch tires give it an unmistakably aggressive stance that demands respect. But this truck isn't just a brutish off-road machine; its interior combines authentic premium materials with cutting-edge technology that will have you questioning whether you're seated in a luxury sedan.
Over 50 inches of combined digital display real estate, including a class-exclusive 10.25-inch front passenger screen, provide an unparalleled level of control and information. The available 900-watt Harman Kardon audio system with 19 speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer creates an immersive auditory experience that will turn even the most casual listener into an audiophile.
A Performance Legacy Reborn
While the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO represents the pinnacle of modern truck performance, it draws inspiration from Ram's storied history of developing high-powered, adrenaline-fueled models. From the 1964 Dodge Custom Sport Special and the 1978 Li'l Red Express to the 2004 SRT-10 and the 2021 TRX, the RHO is the latest chapter in a legacy of uncompromising performance that spans decades.
Priced from $115,790 ($112,945 MSRP plus destination) in Canada, with orders open now and deliveries slated for Q3 2024, the all-new 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is poised to rewrite the rules of what a light-duty pickup truck can achieve. This isn't just a truck; it's a statement of extreme performance and capability that demands your attention.
