Ram presents a new addition to its 1500 lineup: the RHO (Ram High Output) model, a spiritual replacement for the now-defunct TRX model.
Ram's pickup lineup undergoes a radical change for 2025, with the discontinuation of the Hemi V8 engine family. As a result, the TRX variant and its thundering 702-hp block are being sent into retirement.

Note that it inherits the high-output HO version of this powertrain, which offers the most power at 540 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque. That's less than the TRX, but how much horsepower do you really need?

Towing and payload capacities are also up, from 8,100 to 8,380 lb, and from 1,310 to 1,520 lb respectively. Certainly, the steering will offer a different feel due to the weight loss at the front. The suspension is also tuned differently, but the equipment remains much the same, with Bilstein adaptive shocks featuring independent reservoirs, forged front control arms and greater suspension travel. 35-inch off-road tires are also included.
