As far as off-roading is concerned, it wouldn’t make a lot of sense for Ram to make a truck with well north of 500 horsepower if it couldn’t handle itself in the wild. For suspension, it wears Bilstein Black Hawk shocks and an 11.8-inch ground clearance when you opt for 35-inch tires. It sports a Dana 60 rear axle and a Borg-Warner transfer case for all of the rock crawling fans out there.
The front grille has also been redesigned for better air flow, and the RHO features a number of special badges and decals so everyone can know what kind of truck you have. Most North American Stellantis products that have been unveiled recently do not fall into the “subtle and restrained” category, and the Ram 1500 RHO is no different.
It’s huge, goofy, and fast, as any performance truck should be. With that performance, of course, comes a high price tag: It’s slated to cost $69,995 and be available during the third quarter of this year. If it makes you feel any better, Ram says it’s a relative value at $129.60 per horsepower. So that’s nice.
