Since the Ford Raptor practically started the segment, virtually every truck maker has a big, bro-ey, off-roader in its arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>None are as unapologetically massive as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/759764\/ram-1500-rho-review\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22759764%22%2C%22section%22%3A%222%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22ram-1500-rho-review%22%7D\">Ram RHO<\/a>. It\u2019s the not-Hellcat-powered TRX that we all know. Instead, this truck is powered by a Hurricane inline-six, made to appease regulators and to modernize the Ram brand past the V-8.<\/p>\n<p>The only trouble is this: Things have changed since the RHO was unveiled last year. Now, fuel economy standards are more lax (read: gone), as are emissions standards. For better or worse, the (marginally) more efficient RHO is no longer necessary, and Ram has made it a big point to bring the V-8 back to its trucks.<\/p>\n<p>All signs say that the return of the supercharged V-8 TRX is certain. That means the RHO may be cancelled entirely, or simply relegated to second-class citizenship as a pseudo-base model TRX\u2014a la Raptor and Raptor R.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I had a burning curiosity about the RHO and its mission. I wondered if Ram wanted to make it or if it was forced to make it. So I decided to borrow one to make a video and see what was really up.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice to say, it\u2019s a curious truck. But you\u2019ll just have to watch to find out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/770635\/mclaren-750s-video-review\/\">The McLaren 750S Is the Enthusiast&#8217;s Supercar: Video Review<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/769813\/2025-cadillac-ct5-v-blackwing-precision-package-video\/\">The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Precision Package Is the Answer: Video Review<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/766371\/toyota-gr86-hakone-edition-video-review\/\">The Toyota GR86 Hakone Is for the Purist on a Budget: Video Review<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/765589\/2025-acura-integra-type-s-video-review\/\">The Acura Integra Type S Isn&#8217;t Worth the Extra Money: Video Review<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Street-legal Baja trucks are one of the best things human innovation has conceived in the last decade.
