The Ford F-150 Raptor found someone to talk to

Raptor does not have a monopoly on “mouth”

American “cars” come in a wide variety, which offers something for all tastes, especially for those who don’t want to be satisfied with pulling a trailer or just driving around on the roads, but really venture off the beaten track. The RAM star pickup, in its RHO version, features a more robust grille and a larger Ram crossover badge. However, the most interesting detail is the sculpted hood and the integrated LED clearance lights. Designers also equipped it with metal bumpers, strong skid plates and towing hooks.

At the rear, the position lights are integrated between the tailgate and the bumper. Buyers will also get a unique dual exhaust system. On the move, the truck rolls on 18-inch wheels wrapped in 35-inch tires. The model also benefits from a lift of 51 mm, which provides a ground clearance of 300 mm.

Stellantis is making a new V6, but yes!

In addition to its European provenance, the Ram 1500 RHO is powered by a new 3.0-liter Hurricane Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engine. The Turbo Hurricane engine develops 540 horsepower, however offers greater fuel economy and reduced emissions, compared to the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that made 712 HP and 880 Nm of torque, but is more expensive.

The upper ventilation system includes a pipe in the hood that drains and filters debris that does not reach the engine. A large radial air filter is housed in an open air box allowing easy access for quick cleaning in the field.

The Ram 1500 RHO has a new exhaust system unlike the rest of the Ram 1500 lineup, featuring a low-restriction Sport Tune system and dual front-to-rear true tailpipes. The independent front suspension and active damping system uses high-strength aluminum to maintain overall strength and durability. Bilstein shock absorbers use a one-piece precision machined aluminum structure to reduce and dissipate heat and continuously adjust damping forces for better body control and ground isolation.

Spartan graphics are a thing of the past

The interior largely repeats that of the regular truck, but the RHO has a shifter with a console and a set of multifunction switches for the instruments. This model also sports aluminum shift paddles, a “RHO” badge on the passenger side dashboard and a customized center console badge with the vehicle’s identification number.

Apart from the special touches, the model is well equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12-inch infotainment system, and a ten-speaker audio system. Other highlights include 12-way leather-trimmed front seats with embroidered RHO logos. Despite the emphasis on performance, comfort and safety have not been forgotten as the truck is equipped with cruise control and a blind spot monitoring and rear lane detection system.

Gone are the days of rustic photography. Customers looking for something more luxurious can choose the RHO Appliances Group. It adds rain-sensing wipers along with a large 14.5-inch infotainment system. Buyers will also get heated, ventilated and massaging front seats as well as heated and ventilated rear seats.

Priced lower than the Ford F-150 Raptor, this RAM 1500 RHO therefore has all the assets in hand to succeed.
