This is the 2025 Ram RHO and it’s a new high performance off-road pickup truck. People have been complaining that the RHO doesn’t have enough power compared to Ram’s previous high performance off-road truck, the TRX, but today I’ll explain why it’s better than you think.

I’m reviewing this Ram RHO and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it’s like to drive. The biggest change from the Ram TRX to the RHO is found under the hood. Instead of a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8, the RHO packs a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter high-output inline six-cylinder engine.
While the new mill’s 540 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque fall short of the TRX’s 702 hp and 650 lb-ft, the RHO is no slouch. The RHO has better front-to-rear balance because it does not have a large V8 with a fat supercharger hanging over its nose. The engineers tuned the suspension to match the new weight and balance. They modified the AWD/4WD transfer case tuning to provide more rear-wheel-drive bias in certain modes.

The RHO is a fun truck that can be very luxurious and pleasant. It’s a good value when you consider how much you get for the $71,990 starting price. The interior is well appointed at a base level with leather seats and a 12-inch infotainment screen. The stitching details on the seats and steering wheel are well done, and all the touch points throughout the cabin feel solid and up-level.
