Ram Truck Continues to Offer an Off-road Truck Lineup for Light and Heavy-Duty Models
With the arrival of the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, also thought to be known as the Ram 1500 Rhino, Ram Truck is a testament to how an automaker can rise up on its own four wheels as long as it focuses on what it’s good at. For Ram Truck, that’s making pickup trucks that defy expectations and continue to go beyond just a simple work truck. Ever since the latest generation, Ram Truck has become a lifestyle truck brand, and continues to offer models to expand its light- and heavy-duty lineup, from trucks that boast power to trucks that can go off-road, and of course, offering the consumers a choice, whether it’s the cab size or the powertrain. The all-new 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel, 2025 Ram 1500 Warlock, 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon, and 2024 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel continue to support the claim that Ram is North America’s leading producer of award-winning trucks.
“Ram is all about offering the choice of more power, performance, capability with a unique combination of bold styling, durability and customized performance straight from the factory…This is the most off-road models Ram has offered, and it’s a group that doesn’t stand at attention but doesn’t mind going out and getting some attention either.” – Tim Kuniskis, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis
2025 Ram 1500 RHO
Built as a successor to the now discontinued 1500 TRX, the 1500 RHO is powered by the all-new 3.0-liter High Output SST engine, able to generate 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. Built for enhanced ride comfort and control, a Ram-proprietary Active Terrain Dynamics suspension management system and new shock tuning have been installed. Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks have also been installed for better off-road and on-road handling. With a ground clearance of 11.8 inches, the RHO also has an approach angle of 31 degrees, a breakover angle of 22 degrees, a departure angle of 25 degrees, and can handle water fording up to a depth of 32 inches.
The interior is also enhanced with 50 inches of combined available digital display screens, including a class-exclusive 10.25-inch front passenger screen. More power per dollar in the light-duty off-road truck segment, the all-new 2025 Ram 1500 RHO starts at $69,995 (plus destination fee), calculated at $129.60 per unit of horsepower. Orders can be made starting now, with deliveries to dealerships sometime during the third quarter of 2024.
2025 Ram 1500 Rebel
Known as the original off-road Ram 1500 before it became a lifestyle vehicle, the Rebel has spawned many special editions, such as the Ram 1500 Rebel Lunar Edition and Ram 1500 Rebel Havoc Edition. Although it’s also powered by the all-new, more powerful 3.0-liter Hurricane SST engine, it comes with the Standard Output (S.O.) variation, capable of generating 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. In 2025, the Rebel once again gets something special just for it with the Ram 1500 Rebel X package, adding the Rebel Level 2 Equipment Group. This consists of Uconnect 5 with a 14.5-inch touchscreen, a dual-pane sunroof, power tailgate, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, dual wireless charging, and a 19-speaker Harman Hardon premium sound system.
Fashioned with a blackout treatment, many components are all black, with red accents inside to offset the darkness. Featuring a new and improved 14.5-inch touchscreen display and a class-exclusive 10.25-inch passenger screen, the Rebel comes exclusively as a crew cab model with a 5-foot, 7-inch truck bed. The starting MSRP is set at $64,195 (plus destination fee) and is available now.
2025 Ram 1500 Warlock
Shortly after the next generation of the Ram 1500 was released, the Ram 1500 Classic was announced to keep just work trucks alive. This Classic model also came with its own special edition, the Ram 1500 Classic Warlock. It soon expanded to the new generation of the Ram 1500, and continues in 2025 to bring the original Warlock pickups of the 1970s into modern times.
Featuring Bilstein front and rear shocks, a 1-inch factory lift, and skid plates, the Warlock takes some tips from the Rebel while featuring its own details to offer the consumer a little bit of everything. Standard features include LED bed lighting LED headlamps, dual exhaust with black tips, tow hooks, black cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, class-exclusive second-row in-floor storage, an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, 7-inch driver’s display, Selec-Speed Control, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and blind spot detection. The Warlock also comes powered by the 3.0-liter Hurricane SST S.O. engine, capable of generating 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. The starting MSRP for the 2025 Ram 1500 Warlock is $54,260 (plus destination fee), and is available now.
2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
Not talked about as much as other models, it’s easy to think this one died, but the Power Wagon lives on in 2024. Originally dating back to 1945, the Power Wagon celebrated 75 years in 2020, with a heritage that goes back to the days of World War II (WW2). Built for some off-roading, the Power Wagon is kind of like the heavy-duty version of the Rebel.
The 2024 Ram Power Wagon features a unique suspension system comprised of Bilstein shocks, modified control arms, spring rates, more than two inches of lift, an electronic-locking differential, the exclusive five-link coil design, rear suspension includes Bilstein monotube shocks, and a Bilstein dampener links for additional flexibility, axle articulation, and handling when going off-road. Powered by a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine, this may be one of the last V8 engines to make it to the market once Ram puts more focus on its electric and hydrogen fuel cell models. The 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon is available now with a starting MSRP of $68,470 (plus destination fee).
2024 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel
Correction, this is the heavy-duty Ram Rebel. Learning more into the off-road capability of Ram Truck, the Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel builds off of the Power Wagon’s structure with a unique off-road suspension, a rear limited-slip differential and rear electronic locker, a transfer case, 20-inch wheels (optional 18-inch wheels), 33-inch off-road tires and skid plates. A segment-leading suspension system also offers the best ride and handling with an exclusive five-link coil design. Inside, consumers can get a cloth bench or bucket seat with Bristol leather and Natura Plus leather as available upholstery options.
The standard powertrain is a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 able to generate 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, but a 6.7-liter Cummins Standard-Output Turbo Diesel I6 engine is also available, able to generate 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. With a maximum towing of 16,870 pounds and maximum payload of 3,140 pounds, the 2024 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel is the best of both worlds with power for going off-road and getting tough jobs done. The 2024 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel is available now with a crew cab configuration and a 6-foot, 4-inch truck bed. MSRP starts at $68,965 (plus destination fee).
