A New Era of Performance: The Ram 1500 RHO Engine

Under the hood of the Ram 1500 RHO, you’ll find the High-Output Hurricane 3.0L twin turbo inline-six engine, a masterclass in modern powertrain design. With 540 standard horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque, this Hurricane engine sets the benchmark for performance metrics in its class. These figures highlight the Ram 1500 RHO as a true performance truck, delivering high speeds both on and off-road. In fact, the Ram 1500 RHO engine delivers more refined and efficient performance than its V8 predecessor, while still achieving blistering speed and torque distribution ideal for both trail and highway driving. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and full-time active transfer case, the Ram 1500 RHO doesn’t just power forward; it conquers everything in its path.

2026 Ram 1500 RHO Specs: Built to Overdeliver

When we look at the Ram 1500 RHO’s specs, it’s clear this truck is designed for serious action. Key highlights include 35-in. all-terrain tires designed for grip across rock, mud, and sand, available beadlock-capable 18-in. wheels for lower-pressure off-road durability, and 11.8 in. of ground clearance. Every inch of the Ram 1500 RHO is purpose-built to take on trails and terrain without hesitation. From the wide fender flares and dual 5-in. exhaust tips to the bold front tow hooks and functional hood scoop, the design isn’t just about looking aggressive; it’s about getting the job done.

Dominating the Trail With the Ram 1500 Off-Road Package

This model's DNA includes the off-road package integrated into the Ram 1500 RHO. This truck rides on a rugged frame fortified for rough-and-tumble terrains, featuring the Bilstein Black Hawk® e² Shock System that adjusts to terrain in real time. The front suspension delivers 13 in. of travel, while the rear axle can articulate up to 14 in., making it one of the most trail-capable half-ton pickups on the market. A rear electronic locking differential gives the Ram 1500 RHO even more grit, whether climbing rock shelves or diving into mud holes. This is the kind of engineering serious off-roaders crave.

Ram 1500 RHO Towing Capacity: Strength That Works

Performance is only half the story. Towing capacity pushes this truck into workhorse territory with a capable rating of up to 8,330 lbs., as the Ram 1500 RHO outpaces its TRX predecessor and proves that power and utility coexist without compromise. Add in a payload rating of approximately 1,510 lbs., and you’ve got a truck that’s just as capable of hauling gear and trailers as it is when shredding trails. Whether you're towing a boat to the lake or hauling supplies into the woods, the Ram 1500 RHO does it all with ease.

Ram 1500 RHO Interior: Refined, Functional, and Tech-Forward

Don’t let the rugged exterior fool you, as the interior of the Ram 1500 RHO is a premium environment crafted for comfort and command. The cabin combines high-durability surfaces with available high-end options like heated and ventilated leather seats and an available front-seat massage function. RHO-specific badging appears throughout, reinforcing the exclusivity of the experience. A reconfigurable 12-in. digital gauge cluster and massive 14.5-in. Uconnect® touchscreen gives the Ram 1500 RHO one of the most tech-forward cabins in the segment. Add in the available 19-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System, and the inside of the Ram 1500 RHO is just as thrilling as what it can do on the outside.

Off-Road Icon Meets Daily Driver

From our perspective at Aschenbach Automotive Group, what truly sets the Ram 1500 RHO apart is how seamlessly it blends brutal off-road capability with on-road refinement. This is a vehicle that looks right at home crawling over rocks, but feels equally suited for highway driving, daily commutes, and weekend road trips. The Ram 1500 RHO has redefined expectations for what a full-size truck can offer, delivering premium comfort and advanced features. Ready to experience it for yourself?
