    Let us all just say it: NO, this is NOT a TRX, but neither is a Raptor Ecoboost a R, which very very few people can attain because theyre still selling for $125K+. But in return, the RHO offers even better capability and capacity, a refreshed interior, and an I-6 engine that offers performance thats not too far off of a stock TRX.
    Also considering this truck stickers for LESS than a Limited, Limited Longhorn, and Tungsten, its a win-win.

    • @meadmaker4525
      @meadmaker4525 Годину тому +1

      The RHO absolutely does not offer better capability or capacity, has the same exact interior as last year with no refresh, and the I6 doesn't offer anywhere NEAR TRX performance. In fact, it doesn't out-perform a stock Hemi 5.7. It gets the exact same MPG, but on premium. And it doesn't develop any of the TQ/HP numbers Stellantis keeps gaslighting people with until way up in the RPM band, when the turbos finally wake up. Thing is, since we're no longer allowed to shift gears for ourselves, that ECU is going to shift as early as possible and keep the RPMs as low as possible for as long as possible to try to maintain what little fuel economy it has. So, you're never going to see those higher numbers. And it's still grotesquely overpriced for what it is.

    • @hellkitty1014
      @hellkitty1014 48 хвилин тому +1

      @meadmaker4525 the interior did in fact receive enhancements. This truck has a payload of nearly 1400lbs, whereas my loaded TRX is barely 1000. And as much as I love the 5.7, this truck smokes it in every metric, in fact is the fastest factory truck sold today outside of a Raptor R.(and the Hurricane has been dyno'd multiple times to show that its ponies are underrated). All for $30-40K less in price over a TRX.
      Yes...we ALL miss the Hellcat but lets not pretend this truck doesn't have its own merits.

    • @meadmaker4525
      @meadmaker4525 31 секунда тому +1

      @@hellkitty1014 - If you're talking about the cheap passenger screen they added instead of the 2nd glove box, that's not an enhancement. The rest of the interior is literally the same. Zero changes. My local dealer confirmed this when I asked. Payload increased in the RHO because the engine weighs less than the one in the TRX. Otherwise, again, zero changes.
      In a car or a Jeep, the hurricane would probably be excellent (aside from the thermostat failure problems bricking the engine, excessive carbon buildup on intake valves, oil leaks, and turbos failing or detonating - all known recurrent issues with this engine). But in a truck, which by definition needs low-end torque and grunt to haul and tow, this engine just doesn't cut it. Ford and Toyota are learning that lesson right now to the tune of massive recalls.
      The hurricane looks great on paper. That's fair enough. And I'm not so stuck on the Hemi that I can't appreciate a "better" engine option, but this really isn't it. The I6 configuration is a good one (Cummins, etc), but it lacks sufficient displacement and the turbos are just not going to cut it. The engine is going to kill itself trying to meet the requirements of a truck (again, see Ford, Toyota, etc.).
      As for price, the TRX pricing was way outside the realm of reason for what it was. This is mostly the same truck, but with a poorer engine, for still way too much money. The more people continue to pay these prices, the more manufacturers and dealers will continue to believe that's what they're worth. I'm sure there are people with more money than sense who will buy these things, but I don't intend to be one of them.
      I'll stick with my Hemi for now and hope the new leadership Stellantis will come up with something better in the near future. The Ramcharger and Ram EV are still to come. Have to wait and see whether not they sh*t the bed with those, like they did the new Charger EV.

In ten years it will be junk the shocks will have leaked down turbos went out transmission gone and you outa 80k people are stopping the madness then the dealer will slap on 20k extra . So if you buy 3 of these over 15 years you are out one quarter million dollars you are blowing early retirement on a truck.
