To experience this vehicle firsthand, visit a [Centre Wellington Ram Dealership]() where you can explore its features and schedule a test drive to see its performance for yourself. ## **2025 Ram 1500 RHO** Although the exterior similarities are striking, the [RHO isn’t the replacement for the outgoing Ram TRX](). With its 35-inch tires, an off-road-tuned suspension, 88-inch wide footprint, and a host of upgrades, such as more robust control arms, a larger torque convertor to put more torque out faster, a 3.92 rear axle ratio, and the RHO graphics packages, this is a great-looking truck. Inside, with the optional Level 1 equipment package, there are heated, cooled and massage front seats, a pistol-grip shifter and a RHO badge with VIN and build date on the center console. Off-road and then on-road, I put it through its paces, as you can see from the video, with a big grin on my face. Sure, the Hurricane 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline 6 engine doesn’t have the same growl the 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat engine did in the TRX, it is a great engine with nearly identical 0-60 times. Plus, it drives smaller than you’d expect on-road with little body roll and good visibility thanks to a low hood line. This Ram 1500 RHO will be the [first Ram truck I’ve ever bought]() and I think I hit the jackpot this year with this truck. More to come! ## Related vehicle coverage - [2025 Ram 1500]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/11/2025-ram-1500-rho-first-drive/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/11/2025-ram-1500-rho-first-drive/" }, "author": { "name": "Tim Esterdahl", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/82b06f99329f69a069a5ab6caed18593" }, "headline": "I’m So Glad I Ordered This One!
