Led by new 1500 RHO, Ram announces new off-road truck lineup



(April 26, 2024) AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Today marks a new milestone in the continued evolution of Ram with the arrival of "the most capable, most affordable off-road truck lineup in the industry." The most off-road models Ram has offered spans both the light- and heavy-duty lineup, including the all-new 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel, 2025 Ram 1500 Warlock, 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon and 2024 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel.

“Ram is all about offering the choice of more power, performance, capability with a unique combination of bold styling, durability and customized performance straight from the factory,” said Tim Kuniskis, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “This is the most off-road models Ram has offered, and it’s a group that doesn’t stand at attention but doesn’t mind going out and getting some attention either.”

With the most diverse powertrain lineup, customers can pick their power with an all-new, powerful 3.0-liter Hurricane Standard Output Straight-Six Turbo (SST), an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output (H/O) SST engine and 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine. The heavy-duty trucks offer the 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine and Cummins I-6 turbodiesel. This results in the most capable and powerful off-road truck lineup available.

Leading off for the new off-road truck lineup, the new 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel and 2025 Ram 1500 Warlock, as well as the 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon and 2024 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel, are available now. The all-new 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, which will shift the performance paradigm once again, is available to order today and will be at dealerships in the third quarter of 2024.



The off-road truck lineup draws from a deep and rich history of developing high-performance trucks, starting with the 1946 Power Wagon, which was derived from Dodge’s 1942-1943 3/4-ton WC series military trucks. The 1964 Dodge Custom Sport Special, 1978 Li’l Red Express, 2004 SRT-10 and 2021 Ram TRX have kept Ram’s mission to the lead the off-road space.

2025 Ram 1500 RHO

Ram officials say the all-new 2025 Ram 1500 RHO offers the best value with more horsepower per dollar ($129.60 per HP) than any other light-duty off-road truck at $69,995. The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is powered by the all-new 3.0-liter H/O SST engine from the Stellantis Hurricane Twin-turbo family. The 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output engine is rated at 540 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering enhanced fuel economy and fewer emissions while generating more horsepower and torque than other naturally aspirated V-8 and boosted six-cylinder engines in the light-duty truck segment.

Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks have been tuned to demonstrate optimum balance between on-road handling and class-leading off-road capability. Ride comfort, body roll control and handling are significantly enhanced with the Ram-proprietary Active Terrain Dynamics suspension management system, new shock tuning, hard points and body mount strategy.

The greater wheel travel offered by RHO is managed without reducing cargo area in the bed. Active damping and a five-link coil system create comfortable ride characteristics no matter the road surface. The frame’s hard points differ when compared to a standard-issue Ram 1500 allowing for rear axle travel of up to 14 inches. The Ram 1500 RHO offers more than 40% additional rear wheel travel when compared to the rest of the Ram 1500 lineup.



The Ram 1500 RHO boasts a ground clearance of 11.8 inches due in part to a 2-inch ride height increase when compared with the rest of the 1500 lineup, along with 35-inch tires. This combination enables RHO to clear surface obstacles easily and at high speeds.

The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO combines new features, technology and authentic premium materials with performance, class-leading quality, comfort and durability. The interior design team chose premium textures, colors and material, including available hand-wrapped leather instrument panels for unexpected luxury throughout.

RHO’s "best-in-class interior" is lined with leading-edge technology and features over 50 inches of combined available digital display screens, including a class-exclusive 10.25-inch front passenger screen and dual wireless charging pads. An optional, reconfigurable 14.5-inch touchscreen display is the interior’s nucleus and utilizes split-screen capability for dual application operation.

An optional 10.25-inch passenger screen offers navigation, device management, entertainment (via HDMI) and the ability to view the exterior vehicle cameras. The 2025 Ram 1500 features an optional full-color Head-Up Display (HUD) that is configurable up to 10 inches and features several different content areas at once, including an all-new digital tachometer.

The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is available to order today and will be at dealerships in the third quarter of 2024 with pricing starting at $71,990, including a $1,995 destination charge.
