Ram Won't Say ‘No' to Hemi V8-Powered RHO
The latest car news, reviews, and features. We know the Hemi V8-powered Ram 1500 is officially coming back, there's one big question: What about the RHO? It's the brand's Ford F-150 Raptor fighter that currently uses a high-output Hurricane I6 engine, and while a naturally aspirated V8 version might not be faster , some might argue that it would be better . The Drive asked Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis if a Hemi RHO is in the cards. 'I don't know,' he admitted. 'We've debated that a lot internally.' The RHO's twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six may not be what people are used to, but it is stout. Engine output measures 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. It has lots of upgraded parts compared to the standard-output Hurricane, like all-forged internals and 26 pounds of boost versus the S.O.'s 22 psi. Kuniskis rightfully worries that a naturally aspirated V8 making 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque might not be enough. 'I drive an RHO now, and it is a fantastic package,' Kuniskis continued. 'If you put a 5.7-liter in it, compared to what it is today, is that going to meet customer expectations? That's what we're thinking about right now.' 'Not saying we won't do it, but that's what we're thinking about right now.' Ram Stellantis People can't seem to talk about the RHO without mentioning the old Ram TRX and its supercharged Hellcat V8. That's understandable, considering they look similar and share Baja-blasting credentials like semi-active Bilstein suspension and 35-inch tires. If Ram does end up tossing the 5.7-liter into the RHO, it might sound slightly more like the TRX, but it will be a far cry from the infamously discontinued truck's 707 hp. The idea of a 5.7-liter Hemi-powered RHO would be more like a first-gen Raptor than anything since that pickup went away. It would provide a V8 soundtrack rather than the Hurricane I6's weakened battle cry while being magnitudes less complex, and not to mention more balanced than the TRX. Simpler times when not everything needed ridiculous horsepower. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Either way, Ram won't say 'no' to a V8 RHO just yet. Got a tip or question for the author?

'You just know you'll never catch it:' Tucker man says truck was stolen while he was feet away
Car thefts are becoming a problem in the metro area. Criminologist say there had been a decline over the last decade, but we are starting to see a spike again possibly because of new technology. The FBI says there have been nearly 5,000 cars stolen in Dekalb County in the past couple of years. Branden Reagin said someone stole his Ford F-150 Raptor while he was eating at restaurant on Lawrenceville Highway in Tucker at the end of last month. 'It's like a movie scene,' Reagin said. 'You're chasing your truck, wanting to run after it, but you just know you'll never catch it.' [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Reagin said he saw a BMW circle the restaurant's building a couple times before backing in next to his truck. 'My buddy goes hey did you start your truck…By the time we got out of the door, it was already on Lawrenceville highway going up speeding, the truck and the BMW,' Reagin said. He said when he called the police he found out his car was likely stolen using key fob cloning technology. 'How quick someone can access a car, I mean I kind of saw it firsthand myself, but it's just mind blowing,' Reagin said. 'They can steal anybody's car, as long as that key is within range.' Volkan Topalli, a professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Georgia State University said criminals are becoming more comfortable using new technology. 'Sometimes you have a handheld instrument, sometimes you can do it from your phone, but you have to be using near field technology, which means that you have to be close to the person,' Topalli said. 'Once you are close to them, and it detects that there is a fob that can be cloned, it is a matter of basically pushing a few buttons, and then it just sucks the information onto the telephone. Then, you can use the telephone itself to unlock the car door.' TRENDING STORIES: During the initial investigation, officials said, the child's parents were arrested on unrelated charges Suspended UGA lineman arrested after crashing car into apartment complex, report says Argument turns into gunfire in Atlanta, 2 men injured Topalli said there are car brands that have older technology which makes them targets for stealing. The National Insurance Crime Bureau report F-150s rank in the topmost stolen cars in the country. 'Every time we think we've come up with a surefire way of preventing someone from stealing a car or anything for that matter, there's always the motivation to go ahead and take that car and overcome that technological advancement,' Topalli said. In the last 10 years, the FBI said Dekalb County has seen more than 28,000 stolen cars, but they have only recovered over 6,000. Topalli recommends people call their manufacturer or dealership and ask if they have any software updates, so they can replace your fob. However, Reagin said he and his wife got purchased an RFID key fob protector which blocks the signal used to clone information. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
