The Ram 1500 Off-Road Capabilities

If you’re gonna ride the Trans-America Trail in a four-wheel drive pickup, expect some ouchies. The Ram had a flat tire in Wave 3, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma (eat at Murphy Burger); Tech Editor Frank Markus had to wash it for a photo next to a Frank Lloyd Wright skyscraper in Wave 4; and on Wave 6 in Calico, Nevada, the Rivian’s big, more capable four-wheel drive humiliated our Ram in a straight line—literally crushing its windshield in three places in the process. click here

But the Mopar ’25 Ram 1500 RHO can handle such mishaps with ease. It’s outfitted with off-road-ready 35-inch tires on 18-by-9-inch beadlock-capable wheels, and has the widest fender flares in the production Ram 1500 lineup. It also has a spray-in bedliner, RamBar accessory bar and off-road style running boards, along with Mopar blue tow hooks front and rear. It rides a couple inches higher than the regular Ram 1500 and has more rear-wheel travel than the competition. That allows it to easily clear surface obstacles at high speeds.
