September 6, 2024 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -  Ram is entering the 2024 Rebelle Rally with automotive journalists Jill Ciminillo and Kristin Shaw in a 2025 Ram 1500 RHO. Ciminillo will navigate while Shaw will drive the RHO in the ninth annual all-women off-road rally from October 10-19, 2024, that covers more than 1,500 miles through harsh desert conditions. This is their third Rebelle Rally as a team.

“The Ram 1500 RHO is right at home in the Rebelle Rally, and we’re proud to support Team Brute Squad in this year’s event,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “Our trucks are tested in the toughest environments, and this event is a unique way to showcase how RHO reinforces North America’s leading off-road truck lineup.”

The Rebelle Rally demands precise navigation and tests both team and machine over the course of eight grueling days. Ciminillo, Shaw and their Ram RHO will navigate the rally by combining elements of headings, hidden checkpoints, time and distance with the only assistance provided by a map, compass and roadbook. GPS navigation and cell phones are strictly prohibited during the rally. 

The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is powered by the all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output (H/O) Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engine from the Stellantis Hurricane Twin-turbo family. The 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output engine is rated at 540 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering enhanced fuel economy and fewer emissions while generating more horsepower and torque than other naturally aspirated V-8 and boosted six-cylinder engines in the light-duty segment. As the latest example in a long line of performance truck leadership, the Ram 1500 RHO offers the best value with more horsepower per dollar ($129.60) than any other off-road offering.
