The 2025 RAM 1500 RHO Is A T-Rex Extinction Level Event, And That's A Little Sad

RAM's RHO isn't the cause of the extinction-level event that killed the T-Rex (TRX), but it's a sensible replacement once you get past the exhaust note. 0-60 happened in 4.43 seconds, just a hair faster than RAM's predictions, but... It's clearly slower than the Hellcat-powered TRX and the same engine in a RAM 1500 Limited which did the deed in 4.2-4.3 depending on the run, and it didn't need launch control. Let's dissect things a bit. The TRX screamed from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds the last time we tested it. Yep, RAM underrated the TRX which is why they claim that the RHO is only 1/10th slower. For reasons I never quite understood, RAM advertised the TRX as a 4.5 second truck while the production models were significantly quicker, while the RHO's real-world scores are pretty close to the 4.6 second advertisement. In a nutshell: there's no getting around the 162 horsepower / 130 lb-ft power difference between the two engines. Yep, the RHO's engine is lighter which improves weight balance and payload, and yep, it sure is 33% more efficient, but I'm glad RAM didn't recycle the TRX name, it would have been stranger. So what happened to RAM's V8 anyway? Well, it's all about emissions. The reborn HEMI dates back to 2003, so the basis of the Hellcat isn't exactly "modern." The design, which I've always been a fan of, was a mix of classic and modern at the time. (An important thing to keep in mind). The design was not an update of Chryser's long-running V8s at the time, but it wasn't a cutting-edge clean-sheet design either. Rather than designing a brand new aluminum block DOHC V8 with all the latest in emissions controls, it simply made more sense to go with an engine that would work in a wider range of vehicles and be able to be sold internationally as well. In other words: the Hurricane I6. Don't get me wrong, it's still insane. It's 88 inches wide, makes 540 horsepower and will drag race plenty of performance cars with ease... And it kind of sounds like some of them. The inline-6 engine has an almost... BMW like bark to it.
