The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is like the TRX but lighter and cheaper. But it doesn’t have as much power. Some people might like that, but some might wonder if Ram is done making really wild trucks like the TRX. Bob Broderdorf, who works for Ram, talked to the press about this new truck. He said it’s not meant to replace the TRX.

Broderdorf said they know the RHO isn’t as powerful as the TRX, and that’s why it’s not a full replacement. He also said Ram has the skills to make extreme vehicles like the TRX.

But he didn’t say if there’s something even wilder than the RHO coming to replace the TRX.

But it seems like there might be something else coming. Why wouldn’t there be? There’s a market for super-powerful trucks, like the F-150 Raptor R and the TRX.

The engine in the RHO is similar to other Ram trucks with the same high-output engine. So it wouldn’t be hard to make it more powerful. They could add more boost, better cooling, or upgrade some parts to make more power. It might cost a lot to certify the new powertrain, but the TRX was expensive and sold well, so they can make money back. Plus, they could use the engine in other cars, like a powerful Charger or a new Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Usually, we’d say not to get too excited. But this time, it seems like there’s a good chance something wilder than the RHO is coming.
