Mopar's new launch Ram 1500 RHO all set to push the limits on nearly any terrain

The talented design team at Mopar has created an exclusive, limited-edition and collectable vehicle for enthusiasts who want to set bold new performance limits for off-roading machines in 2025. The Mopar '25 Package for the Ram 1500 RHO, with exclusive content inside and out, continues the annual factory-vehicle customization program, now in its 16th year, for the performance and service brand of Stellantis.

"The inspiration for the new Mopar '25 flows directly from the concept truck we showed at the SEMA Show last November, which generated strong positive feedback on how well the Ram 1500 RHO was 'Moparised' by our design team," said Darren Bradshaw, senior vice president, Stellantis Parts and Services – North America. "We're proud to continue our annual Mopar customisation program with innovations and exclusive appearance features that our enthusiast customers and collectors crave."  

Using the latest addition to the Ram sport truck lineup as a canvas, custom Mopar Blue and Grey bodyside graphics provide a bold contrast to the Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat exterior colour. Detailed within the graphics is a graduated repeat pattern of the Mopar Omega M logo.  

Off-road-ready 35-inch tyres mounted to 18-by-9-inch beadlock-capable wheels help set an aggressive stance below the hourglass body design with the widest fender flares in the current production Ram 1500 lineup. 

Mopar exterior accessories include a fully integrated, bed-mounted spare-tire carrier, RamBar accessory bar, off-road style running boards and Mopar Blue tow hooks front and rear. The truck-bed surface is protected by a black, Mopar spray-in textured bedliner. 

Inside the best-in-class interior, a multi-function instrument panel accessory rail holds various mobile devices securely in place. A custom Mopar Blue serialised badge is affixed to the lockable centre console.  

Additional interior highlights from the standard RHO Level 1 Equipment Group include:  

• Premium 12-way power leather front seats with memory settings, a new massage function and embroidered logos. Heated and ventilated premium Natura Plus leather with perforated suede accents cover the front bucket and rear bench seats  
• Medium Greystone stitching and Graphite Metallic accents 
• Largest reconfigurable touchscreen in its class with a 14.5-inch display 
• Class-exclusive 10.25-inch passenger screen, only visible to the front passenger, with dynamic touchscreen control 
• Full-colour and configurable Head-up Display

Uncompromising power and performance  
The Mopar '25 Ram 1500 RHO is powered by the all-new 3.0-litre Hurricane High Output Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engine. The 3.0-litre Hurricane High Output engine is rated at 540 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering enhanced fuel economy and fewer emissions while generating more horsepower and torque than other naturally aspirated V-8 and boosted six-cylinder engines in the light-duty segment. 

This new powertrain is 150 lbs. lighter than the previous performance model and features a more balanced weight distribution for enhanced agility and faster reflexes. Performance numbers include: 

• 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds; 0-100 mph in 11.7 seconds 
• Quarter mile in 13.1 seconds at 105 mph 
• Top speed of 118 mph 

An independent front suspension system with active performance damping uses high-strength aluminium to maintain overall strength and durability. The longer, substantially sized front upper and lower control arms are designed with a focus on additional wheel travel and axle track width. This suspension system features retuned spring rates, a jounce bumper and damping control to provide enhanced performance and endurance. 

Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks use precision-machined, single-piece construction comprised of rigid aluminium to reduce and dissipate heat and continuously adjust damping forces for optimal body control and terrain isolation.  

The Mopar '25 Ram 1500 RHO features a standard rear suspension system that is innovative, durable and unique. Adaptive damping and a five-link coil system create comfortable ride characteristics no matter the road surface. The frame's hard points differ when compared to a standard-issue Ram 1500, allowing for rear axle travel of up to 14 inches. The Ram 1500 RHO offers more than 40% additional rear wheel travel when compared to the rest of the Ram 1500 lineup. 

Ground clearance of 11.8 inches is due in part to a two-inch ride height increase when compared with the rest of the Ram 1500 lineup, along with 35-inch tyres. This combination enables the RHO to clear surface obstacles easily and at high speeds.

All 250 units of the Mopar '25 Ram 1500 RHO will be built to the same unique specifications for the U.S. and Canadian markets only. Production provides 225 units for the U.S. market and 25 units for Canada.  

The US manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the exclusive Mopar '25 Package is USD 6,500.
