The meanest Ram 1500 might not have a V8 anymore, but that isn’t slowing down either owners or Mopar. Mopar and Ram have just announced a new Mopar ’25 package for the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO. The SEMA show-truck-inspired model will get a bed full of accessories tossed at it with plenty of must-haves on board.
At the 2024 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Ram brought along what it called a “Moparized” Ram 1500 RHO. The truck got 37-inch tires, the widest fender flares Ram offered, and most of the Mopar accessory catalogue.
Moparized Ram 1500 RHO Is Show-Truck Inspired
The production version, called the Mopar ’25 Package for the Ram 1500 RHO, doesn’t get the massive tires. It won’t even get a tire upgrade, with the same 35s as every other RHO.
Instead, it’ll get a fully integrated spare tire carrier mounted in the bed, making sure the spare is accessible, even when you’re up to your axles on rocks or in mud. This truck will get a sport bar in the bed, and it will also have what Ram calls “off-road style running boards.” And while blue tow hooks on a modern Mopar normally mean a plug-in hybrid, this time, the gas truck gets them.
The dashboard gets a new accessory rail. It’s designed to hold your devices in place when you’re blasting over obstacles.
Ram also gives the truck 12-way adjustable leather front seats with massage, heat, and ventilation. Off-roading doesn’t have to be uncomfortable, after all.
The truck comes with the brand-new Ram 1500’s massive 14.5-inch touchscreen. The package will also include the normally optional 10.25-inch passenger screen that lets your best off-roading buddy do the navigation — or pick the tunes — and a head-up display (HUD).
Comes With the Ram 1500 RHO’s Extensive Capability
Every Mopar ’25 Package Ram 1500 RHO gets the rest of the RHO’s good stuff as standard. To recap, that includes a 540-horsepower, 521-pound-feet of torque version of the Hurricane 3.0L twin-turbo I6 and an eight-speed automatic.
RHO also comes with Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive dampers, RHO-specific spring rates, and beefier control arms. The suspension offers up to 14 inches of travel in the rear — 40% more than any other Ram 1500 — and it has a total of 11.8 inches of ground clearance. All of these features make it a slightly less powerful version of the now-extinct TRX, but certainly not less capable.
250 Copies: Mopar ’25 Ram 1500 RHO Is Ultra-Limited
Mopar is keeping this one limited. It will build just 225 copies for the US and is sending 25 to Canada. The MSRP for the package is $6,500 on top of the $81,230 (including destination) for the standard Ram RHO plus mandatory Level 1 Equipment group.
Oh, and the price includes diamond black paint, the only color option for this new limited-edition truck. The black paint pairs with the blue and gray Mopar graphics package that is inspired by the SEMA show truck.
Each Mopar ’25 Ram 1500 RHO will include a personalized certificate of authenticity with a serialized build number. Buyers will also get a special drawing of the truck from the Mopar design team. Last but not least, the trucks come with four USB charge cables and an 83-piece tool kit that will no doubt be worth a fortune in about 50 years if you can still find it intact.
