My First Look at a 2025 Ram RHO Like I'm Buying This Year

[@nikonmark37814]

I'm hoping the 3.0L Hurricane engine works out for RAM. Back in the day I drove Dodge and Plymouth cars with the 225 ci slant 6 and that engine was virtually bullet proof requiring very little maintenance and it ran for hundreds of thousands of miles. The transmissions gave out before the engines on the cars I owned!

[@jmc6000]

The 3.0 Hurricane will not be anything near the reliabilty of the 225 slant six

[@kurtbeck5809]

Great engine along with the 318

[@johncraig406]

I am going to keep my 2002 7.3L Ford Excursion, thank you. It is paid for, and the engine still runs like brand new, it is "almost" broken in now at 200,000 miles.

Eh there are no quality trucks. Tundras blow up, GM has lifter and transmission problems, Ford has cam phasers plus 10 speed gremlins. It’s very telling that all manufacturers have the exact same powertrain warranties and none of them will compete on warranty duration or mileage.

[@Chrisamici]

So you moved the truck and we watched them going around in a circle with music sure seems like they are hiding it, then why didn’t you start it up and go to the back? 🤔

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

@@Chrisamici Easy answers. First, the trucks on display were setup to NOT start. This is VERY typical of events like this. Second, I, me, put the music over the driving portion. Why? Several reasons. First, they were driving at slow speeds since the truck was so wet. Second, I was very far away. The fact is even IF you could hear any exhaust sounds in the video, it wouldn’t have been accurate. Why would I even remotely consider putting in the exhaust sound that you couldn’t hear and wasn’t really accurate? That’s a really dumb move. I’m driving this later in the month and I’ll have a full video on the exhaust sounds.
