Have you always wanted a high-performance Ram truck for the trail, but weren’t sure you could afford it? 2024 was the last model year for the much-lauded TRX, so while you may have thought your dreams were dashed, say hello to the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO. While slightly less powerful than the TRX, it’s also more affordable and just as fun. Let’s break down the details.
Key Takeaways:
- The Ram 1500 RHO has only one trim with a starting price of just above $70,000.
- With the six figure TRX being discontinued, the RHO is an affordable off-road option with many of the same features.
- With a ground clearance of almost 12 inches, you’ll master the trail safely and comfortably.
Is the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO a New Trim?
For those out there who have problems making choices, you’re in luck—there’s only one trim for Ram 1500 RHO—it starts at $71,990. If you’ve longed for TRX but couldn’t afford the price, the Ram 1500 may just fit your budget.
If you do pick the Ram 1500, consider its RHO Equipment Group package, which features the following bells and whistles:

What Power Does the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO Make?
The RHO features a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that you will also find in current Jeep and Grand Wagoneer lineups—it cranks out 540 horsepower and is paired with a eight-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. The RHO has a maximum 8,380-pound towing capacity with a maximum payload of 1,520 pounds.
To make your time on the trail more enjoyable than ever, the RHO’s Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive shock absorbers and a specially-tuned air spring suspension system make the ride much less bumpy in the cabin, and with a ground clearance of 11.8 inches via a suspension lift and 35-inch all-terrain tires, you’ll ride above it all safely.
Is the Interior of the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO Comfortable?
You’ll be pleasantly surprised at this truck’s elegant interior, which is made with quality materials that have a luxurious feel and considerable insulation from road noise. The RHO, a crew cab with a short cargo bed, features surprisingly plush leather and suede upholstery as standard and upholstered dash panels and carbon-fiber accents.
Its 12.0-inch infotainment system is vertically oriented, and while standard, you have the option of a 14.5-inch display when you get the RHO Equipment Group package. Both versions feature Uconnect 5 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, and in-dash navigation.
A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster comes standard, but there are options for both a 10.0-inch full-color head-up display and a 10.3-inch dash-mounted passenger display. A 10-speaker stereo is also standard, but you have the option of a 19-speaker Harman/Kardon system, should you need more of a driving soundtrack to accompany you on your journey.
