2025 Ram 1500 RHO came in! | Mark Dodge Ram Dealer |First Impression 1300 mile road trip next!

I came from Jason’s channel glad to see there’s still some good people in the truck world . Thanks for sharing I will definitely consider them for my next truck

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thanks for coming! Jason is the best! I am glad you joined!

It's refreshing to see a good dealer out here actually selling vehicles under sticker and providing great service. I still have a bunch of dealers in my area sitting on 2023's over sticker. It's ridiculous.

[@Mursedave]

I did the same thing for my Raptor R. Flew to Virginia to pick her up and drove her back to San Antonio, TX. Saved a ton and actually got my truck that no one could fulfill the order for. Congrats on your RHO!! Excited for the content!!

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Heck ya man! Thanks for the comment. How is the R treating you? Any hot start issues? You might like my next video!

[@Mursedave]

@ thankfully I have had zero issues. 17k miles on the clock in one year and it has been great! I just change the oil between 4-5k miles.

[@Mursedave]

Multiple long distance road trips and the comfort is perfect

[@beowulfgrendel24]

Congratulations. Might be trading in my raptor next year for one. Got to see one in person yesterday and really liked the massaging seats and hands free driving

[@chrisbrennan2208]

Congrats on getting yours. Mine has been on order since July. Mark Dodge has been awesome to work with. RAM has screwed up the ordering process and needs to correct it fast.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

It's a bummer about the order process, but I can say the truck is worth the wait!

If I didn't need a HD truck for the camper, I would be looking at one of these or the Rebel X for sure. Congrats.

I appreciate all your content. You’re one of the best to watch on KZbin. But I never would’ve paid MSRP for any stellantis vehicle. In six months you’ll be able to buy one for 30% off.

[@seymour3743]

I have a 2022 Hydroblue TRX and from what you are saying this is a dummed down version! The only highlights are the ADA Handsfree and passenger Screen. Both TRX and RHO look identical to the normal person. Ain’t no way I am trading in my TRX in the best color (Hydro Blue as your comment and pause suggested ) for an RHO, but I hope those who have the RHO enjoy it . Hopefully they haven’t had a TRX before.. ✌🏾

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate the perspective! I have driven a lot of TRX and owned a Raptor R, this RHO is a blast and way nicer interior than my Raptor. I miss the super charger sound and exhaust sound, but easy to enjoy everything else on this RHO!

My tungsten is at that dealer as we speak! They are great!

Great video. I am leaning towards an RHO with the crystal granite color. Curious why you decided to make the road trip instead of just having them deliver it.

[@Mursedave]

I had a Hydroblue TRX and it got stolen. Such a sad day 😢

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Wow that’s terrible! Sorry to hear that.

[@RJ_100]

Out of curiosity, what did you replace it with? I imagine it’s a hard vehicle to replace as most other vehicles would likely seem like a bit of a downgrade. That’s the reason I’ve never test driven one. I have the money but it’s a significantly larger amount of money than I wish to pay right now. I know if I were to test drive one, it would be in my garage that night 😅. So I’ll likely test drive the RHO which of course is a bit cheaper.

[@Mursedave]

@ always been a Raptor guy, so I ended up buying a Raptor R. I loved the TRX though, but it did have some electrical gremlins which is why it was at the dealership getting the BCM replaced when it got stolen.

[@wayneowen5864]

Okat, so you gave us all the information, but What about the price? Over $85 K for that truck!! So how much did you have to pay for the truck??

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Sorry I didn’t discuss that. I got the same deal as everybody else. My channel is not big enough to get any extra discounts than any normal person off the street with those guys.

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

You would prefer this over the R?.....price wise I understand.....

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I will have a better answer on this after I tow with RHO. Raptor R is amazing truck....but I was starting to have a few issues that were annoying me (hot start issues, shock corrosion) and towing both our trailers...this will be hard to understand for most, I didnt like how it towed. I need to make a video on this. I tow long distances and the R will now allow the exhaust valve to stay in quiet mode when towing, and it couldnt hold 9th or 10th gear, so it would be screaming RPMs and after about an hour of it I got kind of tired of it. If I never towed anything, I might still have it. I recently talked about this a little bit on the Bronco Raptor towing video.

[@tjspaddy]

Did you pay MSRP? Thinking of moving on from my raptor to a RHO.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I had to market pricing at mark dodge if you don’t order

[@theprodegypk]

Order one you’ll save 9-11k minimum not including ram’s incentives

@ it looks nice, but by the time you put 2, 3 or 4 people and any cargo in it, your payload is gone before you even hook anything up to it. Probably not worth even putting a hitch on it. I use my trucks for towing and hauling. To me, it makes no sense paying out the ass on a truck you can’t haul or load anything into.

Any dealer that does “market pricing” is a crook. OEMs sell to all dealers at the same price, so anything above MSRP is just pure greed. That’s one dealer I know I’d never go to. Money aside, looks like a great truck! I don’t think I’d ever trade in my Raptor 37 for this but nice to see some competition.

[@kelviskelvis7140]

Congratulations on your new RHO. Thank you for the tour over at Mark Dodge/Jeep/RAM. Looks like impressive operations are going on there. The RHO IMO is a bit late in the game for this market in 2025. I am just wondering where the REV is? And why did they push back the launch of the REV? It seems that RAM has a habit of engineering their products out of existence by studying a customer they are out of touch with and that is all on them and not the US consumer. Yea Dodge sadly blew the whole Charger EV thing last month, but the Wagoner S EV looks like it will fly on its own. That CEO they fired in Europe did some damage to the brand in the US market. I was really looking forward to buying my RAM pick up in 2024, but the RAM product line up in 2024 did not generate any excitement for me, so I left my RAM aspirations last summer and found my pick up truck at Chevrolet with the Silverado RST. I did not settle, RAM offered nothing to compete with. At least Ford had something competitive to look at. The Chevy works like a bulldog, and RAM missed the boat with me.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I think RHO will steal a bunch of potential Raptor customers in 2025, but I would bet Ford is going to answer back. REV is the game changer! I can not wait for it to come out!
