The Rams have roughly a 20% loss of HP through the drivetrain(highest loss in the industry. Likely due to the inefficient Torque Converter design)
So that would make your 235HP truck about 188rwhp
The 04-08 Hemi is rated 345HP at the crank and only puts 260-270ish at the rear wheels. Hence where the 20% number comes from.

Gross and Net HP are rather old terms. Go back a few decades and auto makers used to advertise the gross HP. That's because it was a very big deal in trucks in particular. Auto makers would rate engines with no water pump, no charging system, no power steering pump etc. Anything that took power to run was not present. This gave then the gross HP. The government cried foul because nobody could actually operate a vehicle and get gross HP. Today I don't know how you would actually look up gross HP and it would do little good if you could find it. Since you have to have circulating coolant, a charging system etc gross HP is somewhat of a useless number.
