    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.

      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.

    This is the kind of engine that I would want in a mid sized rwd sedan, not a big pickup truck, and not with so much output either. It is just begging to explode with that much boost. This engine downsizing thing has gone too far. I'm not an engineer and I'm not a metallurgical expert, so what do I know? But it seems like most vehicles these days are equipped with engines that are being asked to do too much to last, all the while gas mileage is not really improving because the size and weight of the vehicle is increasing at the same time as power output is increasing while displacement decreases.

    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.

    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!

    I personally don’t think this is going to sell anywhere as good as the TRX and I think there will be the usual 15-20% discount on these trucks in due time, just like every 2023-2025 Ram truck has on it.
    At 50-55k these will sell great but at 70-100k good luck if they end up mass producing these💀

I put money down on the new Scout. Stellantus has all but ruined Ram and yes Jeep. They lead the way with the Cummins and have done very little to advance it. The 4xe has not changed since it was introduced. All though we love the GC 4xe and it has been flawless, I don’t think I will buy another one unless they start innovating.
