Avenue-legal Baja vehicles are among the best issues human innovation has conceived within the final decade. For the reason that Ford Raptor virtually began the phase, nearly each truck maker has a giant, bro-ey, off-roader in its arsenal.
None are as unapologetically large because the Ram RHO. It’s the not-Hellcat-powered TRX that everyone knows. As a substitute, this truck is powered by a Hurricane inline-six, made to appease regulators and to modernize the Ram model previous the V-8.
The one bother is that this: Issues have modified because the RHO was unveiled final yr. Now, gas economic system requirements are extra lax (learn: gone), as are emissions requirements. For higher or worse, the (marginally) extra environment friendly RHO is not crucial, and Ram has made it a giant level to deliver the V-8 again to its vehicles.
All indicators say that the return of the supercharged V-8 TRX is definite. Meaning the RHO could also be cancelled completely, or just relegated to second-class citizenship as a pseudo-base mannequin TRX—a la Raptor and Raptor R.
Nonetheless, I had a burning curiosity concerning the RHO and its mission. I questioned if Ram wished to make it or if it was pressured to make it. So I made a decision to borrow one to make a video and see what was actually up.
Suffice to say, it’s a curious truck. However you’ll simply have to look at to seek out out.
