The New Ram 1500 RHO Is Set to Debut on April 25Stellantis

We’ve known for a while now that the Hellcat V-8-powered Ram 1500 TRX would be leaving the market after the 2024 model year. And while we’ll certainly miss the off-road bruiser, Ram isn’t leaving the hardcore wheelers behind. A new model, known as the Ram 1500 RHO, is currently in the works. We won’t have to wait much longer to learn about the truck either, as Ram announced on Monday that the truck will make its debut on April 25.

The short teaser clip was uploaded to the brand's social channels and starts with a head-on view of a Ram HD pickup. The camera quickly pans to the side, showing a large trailer installed on the back of the diesel truck. On the trailer sits the Ram RHO pickup, which is obscured by camouflage netting you might typically find on an armored vehicle. The camo doesn’t do all that much to hide the scale of the truck, with large tires and a higher ride height easily identifiable. The clip then announces the April 25 debut event with the tagline “You won't want to miss this delivery."

While the TRX nameplate dies alongside the Hellcat V-8 engine, the truck’s ethos will continue to live on with the RHO. In fact, the RHO nameplate was purposely created to help fans accept the inline-six-powered truck without it being directly compared to its V-8-powered predecessor. The nameplate is a shortened version of Ram High Output, which is derived from its new powertrain.
