How is the 2026 Ram 1500 RHO Powered?
The 2026 Ram 1500 RHO delivers a thrilling combination of high-performance power and off-road capability that sets it apart from the rest of the full-size truck segment. Under the hood, it's powered by the all-new 3.0L Hurricane High-Output twin-turbo inline-six engine, producing an incredible 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse helps the RHO sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, run the quarter mile in 13.1 seconds at 105 mph, and reach a top speed of 118 mph; unheard-of numbers for an off-road pickup. Off the pavement, the 2026 Ram 1500 RHO is just as impressive, thanks to its standard 4x4 system with a full-time BorgWarner transfer case, low-range gearing, and an electronic locking rear differential. Built for the most challenging terrain, it rides on a long-travel suspension with Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive shocks, forged aluminum control arms, and offers up to 11.8 inches of ground clearance, with 13 inches of front and 14 inches of rear suspension travel. Beadlock-capable 35-inch all-terrain tires help deliver excellent grip, while drive modes like Baja, Rock, Mud/Sand, and more let you tailor performance to any environment. Whether you're shopping for a performance truck or a serious off-roader, the Ram 1500 RHO is built to dominate!
Exterior Design of the 2026 RHO
The 2026 Ram 1500 RHO grabs attention the moment you see it, with its aggressive "hourglass" silhouette and striking functional elements that blend form and function. It stands a full two inches taller and eight inches wider than a standard 1500, thanks to composite fender flares and steel box outers that stretch over beefy 35-inch all-terrain tires tucked into 18-inch beadlock-ready wheels. Up front, the textured, all-black grille proudly displays a large flow-through R-A-M badge, which aids in airflow, while twin bi-functional projector LED headlamps and animated LED accents in the hood scoop light up trails and turn heads. A functional cold-air intake is integrated into the sport hood, along with skid plates, a robust steel bumper, and bold tow hooks, located on both the front and rear, demonstrating that this truck means business. At the rear, a powered tailgate, dual 5-inch black-painted exhaust tips, and a wide LED taillight bar with center identification lamps complete the look. Whether crawling over rocks or cruising the boulevard, the RHO's exterior design delivers a purposeful, performance-ready style.
2026 Ram 1500 RHO Cabin Design and Technology

Audiophiles will appreciate the optional 900-watt Harman Kardon sound system with 19 speakers, while advanced towing tech like a 360-degree camera and trailer reverse steering make hauling easier than ever.
