I'm an old guy, and once you set the truck up, you will probably seldom use these features again. I would just like to have the vehicle set up with gauges, no big infotainment screen (it is distracting) and the rest of it to me is just money down the drain. The truck would be a lot less expensive (Stellantis could sell a lot more of them) if it were kept simple. If you want a race truck, then build one, take a new Truck to a tuner and have it set up the way you want. Make it custom for your application. All this stuff would be good for the next owner, but you will be taking the depreciation hit, not them. The engine is great, but IMHO it could use more displacement (4.5 litres because it will competing with the 5.7 Hemi or larger Hemi) and less boost in order to keep it reliable. The less electronic gadgets the more reliable, nothing worse than having a sensor fail and you loose your suspension or transmission. Old school is sometimes better, but it doesn't make as much money for the manufacturer. I know you won't like this review because people are now buying vehicles based on the look, the color and the electronic gadgets that it has. Give me a 1995 Porsche 911 any day.

[@michaels7984]

The market does not agree with this. If that is what most consumers really wanted, that is what they would be making more of. They do already make less complicated trims with fewer bells and whistles, although some stuff, like backup cameras, are mandated by the government.

Where I grew up & what My Wife & I are teaching our kids, is as time progresses, you’re supposed to get better! I think Stellantis isn’t just regressing Mopar, I think they’re trying to kill them all together! Mainly because sure they were such a power house!

[@Kliffy77]

I think Ram could’ve done better exhaust sound! As did Ford with the V6 Raptor.

[@Arexodius]

I like it! Lot's of fun features that I hope finds their way into other models. And even though GM's Super Cruise may be better, at least RAM now offers a hands-free driving system. And that's a great thing on it's own. Now, the exhaust sound doesn't seem to be horrible, but I'd need to hear more of it to make my mind up about it. Nothing excites me about the sound so far though. Really cool model all-in-all! They needed to put the HO Hurricane in the TRX platform anyway, so here it is. It's not a TRX... but I really like it! Active suspension is a great thing and should be standard in a lot more vehicles, not to mention RAM trucks. That system alone is enough to want to get one of these. Would sure love to see an active suspension system in the Power Wagon and the Rebel, HD and half-ton!

For the money, this is a crazy deal. Considering people are getting them fully loaded for $72k ALREADY, I can’t help but think it’s going to be much more popular than anyone expects.

Hope they bring TRX back in a few years!

@@mikevollmer3579 I personally like a straight 6 sound. Not like a V6. Obviously not a v8 but I could get used to this straight 6

V8s sound terrible. 4 rotor or nothing. You probably miss the modem handshake sound. What's it like back in the 90s?

[@ahighervibe4086]

To everyone whining about the exhaust note: being an inline 6, it’s gonna sound more like a Jeep Wrangler 4.0 inline 6 with tuned exhaust than it will sound like the Hemi. Thats just the reality of it. But… many inline 6 designs have become legendary for their reliability so as long as the Turbos have been engineered well, there’s an above avg chance that this engine is a good one!

I built a baha tacoma a while back. All said and done it cost me 47k usd. 06 trd 4 door, full travel link suspension with links above the bed, huge 16 inches of droop, built and tuned coilovers, fiber fenders and body f,enders, reinforced frame and body, upgraded arms and links, axels, re geared, rear locked, built offload transmission up to 600hp, beadlock 35s, full skidplate from links to rear shocks, gutted interior with only two front seats, recaro trophy seats, 5 point harness, 3 point roll cage, all electronic dash stand alone with iPad touchscreen , Alcantara wheel with panels hooked up to the 4s8 trans, snd it had a fully built td cummins. Pushed 470hp in the dunes comfortably with zero overheating. Put over 600 hours on it driving hard without any failure. Build your own. Its worth it. Before 2014 I couldn't even do an oil change.

[@jcshobbiesandrecreation5873]

As a current Raptor owner, I'm interested in the RHO. The TRX and Raptor R were never a consideration for me. I have fast cars for that kind of stuff and while I respect the TRX and R, I don't understand those that buy it. If you want to go fast buy a fast car which neither the TRX or the R are. With as much trouble as Stellantis is in right now, I would expect to see these trucks at $15K to $20K off sticker and have financing offers. A number of dealer's are already taking orders at $10K off sticker. I don't think it is out crazy to expect to see base trucks in the mid $50K range with loaded trucks in the low $60K. The current car/truck market isn't going to support trucks in the $80+K range unless something happens with interest rates and fuel prices.

[@BoostedYote]

I bought a truck to go fast and it goes fast. 😂

[@Adaredevilegg]

If you don’t understand why someone wants a fast truck I don’t know what to say man. It’s obvious why. I bought a TRX because it’s fast and I tow and race it as well. It’s a work horse for me with the fun included. I could have bought a new corvette, Porsche or Audi but nothing excites me more than an off-road work horse with speed and comfort. Pretty easy reason why people buy it. And considering you bought a raptor, you at the time were looking with similar experience even probably before the TRX or Raptor R came out.

[@jamessilvester4622]

You can have a fast car c6 zR1 and a fast truck TRX that sounds good. Don’t have to settle

[@seanchernobyl2911]

Solid advice!

[@gogofastful]

Agreed, except for the gas prices part. Fuel is cheap right now.

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

I think it sounds decent and when you drive it in sport mode if you can turn Baja exhaust on probably sounds better, ram did a good job with the truck it looks like it’s a good all-around fun truck that will definitely put a smile on your face it’s not a V-8 but it reminds me of the bronco raptor super fun to drive and always puts a smile on your face and comfortable, Just wish they could get the cost of these vehicles down it’s getting out of hand, I do think ram will sell a good amount of these trucks when people can afford them.

Truck does seem legit. I don't understand why they went away from the TRX though. Having this truck and the TRX would just give buyers more options.

The only problem with the RHO is that the TRX existed.

I think this is a good truck for the intended buyer. The six cylinder will be great because most prospective buyers are going to run this thing with the gas light on
