The Ram RHO looks tough. It sounds thin. Enthusiasts hated the turbo inline-six swap. They wanted V8 thunder, not turbine whine. But who else makes off-road Rams besides Mopar? Roush did.
Last month Ram teased a collaboration. You know Roush? The guys who turned the Ford Mustang into a ground-eating monster? Now they are working with Ram. The result is the 2027 Ram 5.7 Liter Hemi 1500 1500 Direct-Connect By Roush. It is a Big Horn Crew Cab. It gets 395 hp and 410lb ft of torque. Standard numbers for this engine.
The RHO has more peak power, sure. The Hurricane High-Output is impressive. But the Roush has better acoustics. A performance active exhaust note, selectable settings. You want noise, you turn it up. Quiet highway, you mute it.
Why buy a supercharger if the V8 has the soul?
The exterior screams distinct. Hood vents. Fender flares. Red tow hooks. A painted bumper that doesn’t look slapped on. You get the Night Edition Package. TRX-style running boards. 33 inch General tires on 18-inch alloys. It looks planted. It looks aggressive.
Suspension gets a real upgrade. Roush Coil-Over system with custom hydraulic dampers. Twin tubes. Rear axle 3.92 gear ratio. An electronic locking rear diff. It will drift dirt properly. And because it’s a working truck, it has Trailer Tow Package II. Function meets form.
Inside, it’s subtle but nice. Mopar leather. Branded floor mats. Console badges. It isn’t garish. Just clean. The cost hits at $15995. Total vehicle price? $78960. The base Ram 2500 starts at 76590. A few grand extra, yes, but for a name like this? Maybe worth it.
You want the TRX you need a lot more money. This one feels approachable. The name says a lot, the performance delivers, the crowd will love it. We’re seeing more V8 loyalists waking up
