"Joined the massive screen club" I'm pretty sure they were the first ones to start it in the trucks. It's crazy to see this truck cost $80,000 when just 5 years ago 2019 I bought a ram rebel $45,000. The only difference is I can see between this truck and my RAM rebel is this one does not have a V8 and the lights are narrower.

[@JRs-guitars]

Was going to say the same thing.

[@MrXerxes]

Same thing with the RAM 2500 Power Wagon. My fully loaded 17' was < $55k. Same thing is now over $80k on RAM website configuration. I love the truck, but the value for dollar has taken a big hit. If I am going to pay that type of money I'd just go TRX.

Prices truly are wild now. Its also tough to jump to a Ram with its new SST engine. I would give that a couple years to get sorted...

[@adamblakeley5865]

First of all, that Billy solo at the beginning was on point! Second, people need to quit making excuses and downplaying the outrageous prices of these trucks and vehicles in general, I mean I get it, there are always going to be the Gotta-Have-Its and people who think it’s a flex to tell others how they can afford this overpriced trash, but have at it, it’s your money, get taken advantage of all you want. The funny thing is most Stellantis products have mountains of money dropped on the hood just to get them out the door because most people aren’t willing to pay these prices. We need more of that. Start patronizing the manufacturers that have decently priced vehicles and ignore the ones who don’t. I realize that will probably never happen and that’s the problem. Believe it or not there are actually decent quality vehicles out there still for reasonable prices. When poverty trim whips are going for 60k that’s a problem. And don’t tell me it’s because of all the new tech, capabilities etc. it can be done. The Ranger Raptor is loaded to the gills and has out of pocket performance and it goes for around 58k. That much truck for that price is acceptable IMO. Anyway, that’s my 2 cents.

[@ZenEndurance]

I have a similar RAM and it's incredible. They are too wide for narrow trails, but desert, beach, ranch, hunting, mud... and towing stuff to get there is where it shines. i towed a 7,000 lb RV to Sedona with ours, then also took it offroading on a wide trail while there. You just don't want to get into narrow trees or rocks with it.

[@ZenEndurance]

The reason I got a RAM was it was the only one you can turn on the rear locker whenever you want. Other brands won't let you do it in 2wd or 4WD high or Awd. Rear locker is essential gear and "quit dicking around" fast solution with a button press. The other brands disable it unless you are in 4wd low and if I'm in 4wd low, things have already gotten ugly. I wouldn't need 4wd low if you'd let me turn the locker on in 2wd 30 seconds ago. AWD and turning the locker on and off as needed is pretty amazing how it gets through nearly everything.

[@eoak134]

The size of these trucks with their crew cabs are becoming the biggest limiting factor of their off-road capabilities. Perhaps if they want to build a really capable off-road truck, they should include the option for a regular cab or extended cab.

[@forgotten_world]

@@drivingsports It also has comparatively very low fuel consumption. This is technology after all, that Stellantis choose not bring to market. I think this really matters, anywhere in the world.

They have to charge that much to fund all the product placement they did in the movie "Twisters."

[@dieseldrax]

23:00 Don't forget the F-150 Tremor! I'd say the Rebel and F-150 Tremor are rivals.

[@reltius2993]

I'm confused why the RHO would not compete with this? Are they not essentially the same other than the larger TRX body style? The TRX was marketed as a off road/sports truck too. Obviously it doesn't have the same performance as the TRX, but to include Launch mode it's still trying to be a sports truck. Now the RHO has the same engine and basically the same price. I guess I'd choose the RHO because the TRX look is just so badass.

[@JuniusRowland]

The RHO has the high output engine which takes HP up into the 500's...also the console shifter and the other more TRX styling, though you can get the GT package on the Rebel and essentially have it look like the RHO. Max out options on the Rebel you're still close to 80k...max on the RHO gets you over 90k.

[@billseiler4952]

In an emergency, can you rotate the shifer dial from D into N without going into R ??!!! In a regualar shifter configuration, the RAM and GM and other manufacturers allow the driver to use an open palm to push the shifter from D into N without fear of going into R as it is locked out if you use an open palm and not shift in the normal sense! Ford does not allow you to do that !!!!
