The scary TRX will be replaced by the powerful Ram 1500 RHO in 2025. It will have a 3.0-liter straight-six engine with twin-turbo 540 horsepower. The RHO will have the same big body, thicker chassis, long-travel suspension, and huge off-road tires as the TRX, but it will have a lot less speed. Tim Kuniskis, CEO of Ram, says that the TRX name is being thrown out and probably will only come back if a more powerful engine comes out. One that’s electric? Is it worse or better? Either the world is full of six-cylinder Ram TRXs, or it is empty of V-8 TRXs. Ram is only making a new version of the high-performance pickup truck with a less powerful engine and a different brand name because it doesn’t want to upset either side . There are likely to be other groups that like each answer. RHO stands in for TRX Take a look at the upcoming Ram 1500 RHO, which is the TRX’s more aggressive brother. Instead of a 6.2-liter V-8 turbocharged that makes 702 horsepower, the RHO has a 3.0-liter inline-six with dual turbochargers that produce 540 horsepower. It has the same amount of power as the high-output Hurricane engine in the updated 2025 Ram 1500. Some people might say that it doesn’t have as much power as the famous Hellcat engine in the leaving truck, which will be phased out after the 2024 model year. For now, the sign for TRX will be put on the shelf. The CEO of Ram, Tim Kuniskis, recently told a group of reporters that the next TRX will be even stronger. He also said that the RHO is not a TRX because it needs more horsepower. The new truck will still be fun to drive off-road, but it will go slower and sound like the old one. Kuniskis says that the RHO will have the same parts as the TRX, but the suspension will be set differently. Besides that, we don’t know anything else. In other words, the new model will still have a stronger frame, a suspension that moves one foot, and big 35-inch all-terrain tires. The RHO will also have a bigger body than the original Ram 1500. Thanks to the regular truck’s facelift, some parts on the outside will be better, and the technology inside will be new. When will TRX come out? In the third quarter of 2019, the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO will go on sale. Between now and then, price information should arrive. Kuniskis says it will cost less than the TRX, which started at $97,485 and is being phased out. Now that the 700-hp Ford F-150 Raptor R is the best off-road truck, that makes us wonder when Ram’s powerful truck will come back. Stellantis isn’t making V-8 cars for Ram anymore, and the TRX name would only be brought back if it has at least 703 horsepower. This means that the only real option would be a TRX built on either the new plug-in hybrid Ramcharger or the electric Ram 1500 REV. All of them have more than 650 horsepower, so it should be easy to get to 703 or even more.
