Ram is Teasing a Huge Delivery of a New Truck This Week

Ram has dropped two provocative teases on social media this week, promising a special truck delivery for April 25, 2024. The most recent tease shows a convoy with a pickup truck on a flatbed covered in camouflage. The caption is “When delivering a package this top secret, a little backup never hurts.” Many online fans are theorizing that the top-secret delivery is the new 2025 Ram RHO, with the Hurricane six-cylinder engine that replaces the popular Ram TRX powerhouse. Ram, like the other Stellantis brands, is phasing out the huge HEMI engines and replacing them with the more fuel efficient  Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engines.

2025 Ram Engine Lineup

In announcing the 2025 Ram trucks, Ram said:

“The 2025 Ram 1500 offers customers three engine options, including the all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane and 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output (H/O) Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engines from the Stellantis Hurricane Twin-turbo family, the most powerful six cylinders in the segment, and the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 eTorque. The all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine is rated at 420 horsepower and 469 lb.-ft. of torque, while the High Output engine is rated at 540 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque. Capability includes a maximum towing capacity of 11,580 pounds, a maximum payload of 2,300 pounds and up to 24 inches of water fording.

In Q3 2024, a new Ram 1500 RHO will join the lineup with the 540-horsepower Hurricane H/O, reinforcing America’s leading off-road and performance truck lineup.”

The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO will blast in with 540 horsepower and although it won’t exactly replace the TRX, it will give truck owners a viable high horsepower option. The TRX was phased out at the end of 2023. The supertruck was rated at 702 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque with the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine.

An earlier tease for this week’s top secret delivery showed a Ram Rebel hauling the camouflaged truck on a flatbed and said “Special delivery arriving 4.25”.
