5 Reasons the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO Is the Ultimate Off-Road Truck

At Fairview Chrysler, we know that a serious off-road truck needs more than just power—it needs durability, advanced engineering, and the right technology to handle any terrain. The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is built for exactly that. Whether you're climbing rocky trails, crossing deep water, or cruising through the backcountry, this truck is ready. Here are five reasons why it's a game-changer.

1. Power and Speed That Rival Sports Cars

The 3.0-litre Hurricane High Output (H/O) Straight-Six Turbo engine delivers 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful six-cylinder engines available. Unlike traditional V8s, this twin-turbo design delivers power faster and more efficiently. The RHO launches from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 190 km/h.

Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Ram 1500 RHO offers smooth, controlled acceleration whether you're on the road or off the beaten path. The lighter engine and improved weight distribution give it sharper handling and quicker reflexes, something rarely found in a truck of this size.

2. Off-Road Suspension Built for Tough Terrain

A serious off-road truck needs suspension that can handle extreme conditions, and the Ram 1500 RHO delivers. The long-travel adaptive suspension system is inspired by desert racing trucks, providing better control and stability at high speeds. The Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive shocks continuously adjust to the terrain, improving ride quality on uneven surfaces.

With 35-inch tires and 300 mm (11.8 inches) of ground clearance, the RHO is built to tackle deep mud, rocks, and sand. The Dana 60 rear axle with full floating shafts adds durability, while the reinforced frame supports aggressive off-road driving. The RHO can ford up to 813 mm (32 inches) of water, meaning deep puddles and river crossings aren’t an issue.

3. Designed for Strength and Functionality

Ram didn’t just add bigger tires and call it a day. The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is 203 mm (8 inches) wider than the standard Ram 1500, with flared fenders that accommodate a wider stance for better stability. The steel bumpers and skid plates add extra protection, allowing the truck to take on rough terrain without hesitation.

A redesigned R-A-M grille features a flow-through design to improve cooling, and the LED clearance marker lights integrated into the hood scoop add to the truck’s bold look. The rear suspension design increases wheel travel without reducing cargo space, making this an off-road beast that still delivers everyday practicality.

4. High-Tech Cabin with Next-Level Features

Inside, the Ram 1500 RHO feels more like a premium vehicle than a rugged truck. It features a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and an exclusive 10.25-inch passenger screen, giving co-pilots access to navigation, entertainment, and camera views.

The 12-way power leather front seats now include a massage function, while available carbon-fibre trim and embroidered logos give the interior a refined touch. Dual wireless charging pads keep devices powered, and the 900-watt Harman Kardon audio system with 19 speakers delivers immersive sound. Whether you're on the trail or the highway, the cabin of the RHO seamlessly integrates innovative technology with serious comfort.

5. Real-World Off-Road Engineering

The RHO isn’t just built to look the part—it’s engineered for real off-road challenges. The BorgWarner 48-13 full-time transfer case provides power distribution suited for tough conditions, while the 2.64:1 low-range gearing ensures control during rock crawling. A launch control system optimizes grip for quick takeoffs, even on loose terrain.

Unlike standard trucks, the five-link coil rear suspension enhances both off-road capability and ride comfort. The frame’s reinforced design allows for 355 mm (14 inches) of rear axle travel, giving the RHO more than 40% additional wheel movement compared to other Ram 1500 models.

The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is built for drivers who want serious capability without sacrificing speed, comfort, or technology. If you’re ready to see it in action, visit us at Fairview Chrysler or contact our team to reserve yours today!
