What's New for 2025?
The RHO debuts amid a lot of noise about its shortcomings relative to the discontinued TRX, but that's not a fair comparison. The TRX was nearly $30k more expensive and competed with the V8-powered Ford Raptor R, whereas the RHO and its Hurricane turbo inline-6 take the fight straight to the standard Raptor V6. The RHO does out-tow and out-payload the TRX, for what it's worth, while boasting similarly astounding off-road capabilities.

FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
There's been a lot of talk about how the RHO doesn't measure up to the discontinued TRX with its supercharged Hellcat V8, but why should it? The TRX cost $27k more to start! Think of the RHO as a Raptor rival — not a Raptor R rival — and you'll have a better context for appreciating this off-road specialist. For what it's worth, the RHO beats the TRX by 280 pounds in max towing capacity and 210 pounds in max payload capacity. Its ground clearance matches the TRX at 11.8 inches.
