Don't have it on mine but if it's like it was before (guys, correct me if I'm wrong here?) it's a locking differential (center? front? rear? all?) and the ability to raise the truck further in the "up" mode for better ground clearance.

Clarence. (Sorry, had to.)

I have the "off-road" package on my 07 but I thought they discontinued that beginning with the 08???? Maybe on the 550 it's an "appearance" package???

If it's an appearance package, it's a $2300.00 one.

My ORP includes the ability to raise the vehicle up to 14in. of ground clearence, lock the center and rear diffs. Have used that ablity only once in about 18in of snow on top of semi frozen mud.....wow! Nothing else like that except the Land Rover I guess. So......what is this ORP option? I went to the website and don't see anything offered.......are we talking Euro or Canadian maybe?
