Ram 2500 Power Wagon Concept And New 1500 RHO Bring Serious Mopar Power And Rugged Style To SEMA​

Mopar is turning up the heat at SEMA this year. Along with the incredible electric restomod of the iconic Plymouth GTX, Mopar is also bringing some incredible Ram pickup trucks to show off to the world. A new Ram 2500 Power Wagon Concept has just been revealed, and the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is now the latest edition to the Ram Sport Truck lineup.

Off-Road Swagger Meets Smart Utility: Ram 2500 Power Wagon Concept​




The Power Wagon gets a Satin Stealth Sand finish and a contrasting Matte Deep Black bed. The design is topped off with Header Orange accents, including flashy tow hooks, roof rack mounts, and more. Its tough and aggressive character is complemented by massive 20-inch black and gray wheels that are wrapped in chunky 35-inch Goodyear rubber. It even features a factory-installed Warn winchideal for pulling heavy loads or tackling tough trails. Two headlights not enough for you? Don't stress, because there are three 12-inch LED lights on the roof rack for added visibility in case you can't see the road.

On the inside, things get pretty snazzy with brown and black leather seats, Copperhead Orange stitching, and custom accents throughout. The 12-inch touchscreen, all-weather floor mats, and a secure instrument panel rail for devices mean the interior is as versatile as it is comfortable. And, when it comes to power, it doesn't get much better than the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine. This monster sits beneath the Mopar sport performance hood, and is ready to unleash serious whiplash when you hit the throttle.


The New 2025 Ram 1500 RHO Is Fierce



The Ram 1500 RHO sports the biggest, baddest fender flares in the Ram 1500 lineup, and this bad boy sits on monster 37-inch tires for a powerful road stance. Mopar has gone all-in and decked out the exterior with a bed-mounted spare tire carrier, a RamBar with intense 12-inch LED lights, and sturdy stamped side steps. Inside the cabin, the custom black Nappa leather seats with blue accents add a high-end touch, while an instrument panel rail holds mobile devices securely on every ride.

Under the hood, the all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane H/O SST engine is the star of this new pickup truck, and it's capable of pumping out 540 hp with 521 lb-ft of torque. The RHO gets a lighter, more agile frame, and a rumbling dual Mopar exhaust.

Mopar will have plenty of other amazing cars to see at SEMA 2024. So, if you plan on going, make sure to stop by and check them out.

Power Wagon "Concept" LOL... It's just paint, some leather accents, and a Leitner rack. Lame


.

Don't forget the fugly grill. So so bad. It's right up there with angry Jeep face grills. I've disliked aesthetic choices Ram has made, I'm not a huge fan of the mega-badges they used on the 5th gens to this day, but I think this is the first one I actually hated. If I saw the designer in a crosswalk, I wouldn't slow down and whatever happens happens. :D

35" tires would be a nice factory option, but not on 20" rims for an off road focused vehicle. Maybe on the Rebel.

Agreed. I know the industry has gotten away from them but some 18's would have looked good. Not these ones, they look terrible, but a different set of 18s.

18's and 35" (or metric equivalent) would be perfect.

For real improvements, maybe:

Telescoping steering column
Bigger fuel tank
Better factory skid plate protection for the transmission pan
*maybe* larger brakes for more fade resistance
Modular bumper where the corners can be unbolted for off road use
Upgraded shock package availability

All are pretty marginal or can be done by aftermarket sources, with the exception of the fuel tank. Honestly my biggest complaint (which is still a pretty small complaint) with my '21.

That's the sort of big money Stellantis is throwing at Ram these days... their concept vehicle is a wrapped production model with a fugly grill and some aftermarket doodads.
That grill is the new standard for 2025+ power wagons btw, so that’s not even anything special lol

Maybe it's just me, but man is that grill ugly and getting uglier! They started with the sad fron grille which was eh, then they roll this out for the 25's. Yikes! I miss the only cross hair grille on the rams that looked nice and set them apart from the others. Atleast the tradesman grille on the 24's was ok.
