The Brussels Motor Show is setting the stage for thrill-seekers and off-road enthusiasts alike as it introduces two head-turning models from Ram Trucks: the all-new Ram 1500 RHO and the striking Laramie Night Edition. Designed to redefine the driving experience for those with a passion for adventure, these pickups combine power, style, and advanced technology to cater to both rugged explorers and urban adventurers.
Debuting for the first time to the European public, the Ram 1500 RHO is built for those who crave the great outdoors. It boasts an impressive 3.0-litre Hurricane High Output Straight-Six Turbo engine, generating a robust 540 horsepower and 706 Nm of torque. For off-road veterans and weekend warriors alike, this powerhouse promises not just muscle but a refined approach to eco-conscious driving, allowing for enhanced fuel efficiency and fewer emissions compared to traditional V-8 engines.
But the RHO isn’t just about raw power; it’s engineered to conquer any terrain with unrivalled precision. Every inch of this truck is dedicated to performance, featuring a five-link rear coil suspension that provides 40% more articulation than standard leaf springs. Coupled with an increased ground clearance of 30 cm and 35-inch tires, the Ram 1500 RHO is ready to tackle anything from rocky trails to muddy backroads without breaking a sweat.
What else makes the RHO a must-have in your driveway? A BorgWarner full-time active transfer case and Dana 60 rear axle with an electronic locking differential ensure that no obstacle is too daunting. Whether it’s a 3.5-ton tow or fording waters up to 81 cm, this truck stands out in the field.
Aesthetically, the RHO doesn’t just blend in. With composite flares and an hourglass body shape, it exudes a rugged elegance. The iconic R-A-M grille, hood scoop, and skid plates not only enhance its off-road capability but also empower its commanding presence on the highway or the campsite.
As you step inside, the luxury continues with 12-way power leather front seats, featuring a new massage function. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, down to the available hand-wrapped instrument panels. And for the tech-savvy, the digital display features over 50 inches of combined screens, ensuring you stay connected no matter your destination.
Next up, the Ram 1500 Laramie Night Edition—an embodiment of refined style that refuses to compromise on versatility. Underneath its bold exterior lies the same 3.0-litre Hurricane Standard Output engine, but tuned to produce 420 hp and 636 Nm of torque. With a seamless TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, the Laramie Night Edition guarantees a smooth driving experience whether navigating city streets or heading out for your next adventure.
The Laramie Night’s lavish interior, equipped with the Laramie Level 2 Equipment Group, features cutting-edge technology like the Uconnect 5 system, a 14.4-inch touchscreen, and innovative dual wireless phone charging. As you sip your morning coffee in heated front seats or soak in panoramic views from the dual-pane sunroof, you’ll appreciate how this truck merges comfort with technological sophistication.
Visually, the Laramie Night Edition makes a statement with its bold Diamond Black Crystal exterior, accentuated by black-painted features and sleek 22-inch wheels. The inclusion of a Power Tailgate enhances its practicality, ensuring that whether you’re hauling gear for a weekend camping trip or making the daily commute, this truck fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Honouring Klintberg & Way’s 50th anniversary, the event showcases a special Laramie Night Edition, uniquely branded with custom body stripes and accessories for additional utility. From the Backflip tonneau cover to innovative Swing Case storage boxes, this edition is designed for both work and leisure—making it the ultimate companion for the modern adventurer.
Ram Trucks is also making headlines with its new connectivity services, which are expected to change how drivers interact with their Ram 1500. Worry not about where you parked your truck; with the vehicle localisation feature, you can track your ride at all times. Geofencing capabilities allow you to create virtual boundaries and get notified when your vehicle crosses them—ideal for those who want an extra layer of security.
In times of emergency, the system provides theft alerts and swift communication with law enforcement, ensuring peace of mind as you head off the beaten path. With 24/7 assistance and notifications for critical driving behaviours, it elevates your outing experience while enhancing both safety and convenience.
