In the world of high-horsepower trucks, the Ram TRX has long worn the crown—a fire-breathing, Hellcat-powered beast with brute force and a $100K badge. But what happens when a 2025 Ram RHO, born with a smaller engine and a smarter brain, gets tuned by Burger Motorsports?
Chaos. Complete and utter chaos.
The TRX, with its 6.2L Supercharged V8, puts down a mighty 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. It rips 0–60 in 4.5 seconds and sounds like a thunderstorm on steroids.
But the Ram RHO? It starts with a more modest 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six, rated at 540 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque. Doesn’t sound like a fair fight—until the JB4 tuner enters the ring.
🔧 How Burger Motorsports Turned the RHO Into a TRX Killer
Stage 1: Map 1 + 91 Octane
Result: 530 hp, 516 lb-ft
Gain of 73 hp over factory — not bad for a first swing.
Stage 2: Map 2 + E20 Fuel
Result: 540 hp, 559 lb-ft
Already toe-to-toe with stock numbers.
Stage 3: Map 3
Result: 570+ hp, 590 lb-ft
The TRX starts sweating…
Stage 4: Map 4 + E20
Final Output: 594 wheel horsepower, 606 lb-ft
That’s 130 extra horses over stock. With E85, it's rumored to push 620+ wheel hp, without touching the turbos or internals.
🔥 TRX vs Tuned RHO: The Face-Off
| Spec | 2025 Ram RHO (Tuned) | 2024 Ram TRX (Stock) |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 3.0L Turbo Inline-6 | 6.2L Supercharged V8 |
| Peak Horsepower | 594+ hp @ wheels | 702 hp (crank) |
| Peak Torque | 606 lb-ft | 650 lb-ft |
| 0-60 MPH | 4.2 sec | 4.5 sec |
| Starting Price | $72,000 | $98,580 |
| Weight Advantage | ✅ Lighter | ❌ Heavier |
| Tuning Potential | ✅ High (turbo) | ⚠️ Limited (supercharged) |
🧠Forget Bolt-Ons. This Is Pure Tuning Power.
Burger Motorsports also tested an aftermarket intake claiming +40 hp. The result? Power dropped by 15 hp. Moral of the story: skip the gimmicks, trust the tune, and feed it good fuel.
âś… Why This Matters:
-
The TRX may still reign on paper, but in real-world tuning potential, the RHO is the smarter, faster evolution.
-
Turbocharged engines respond far better to tuning than supercharged ones.
-
At nearly $27,000 cheaper, the RHO leaves room for mods and still undercuts the TRX.
đź’ Final Thought
The TRX had the throne. But the RHO just lit it on fire with a JB4, some corn fuel, and a genius tune. The future of fast trucks isn’t louder—it’s smarter.
