RHO= Removed Hellcat Option
💀💀
Haha, RAM just teed that right up didn't they? Love this reiteration of RHO!
Solid answer sir
Nailed it
🫡
The RHO and its $70k price really makes the Tacoma TRD Pro look like a clown with its $65k price.
Until the dealers mark it up to 100k.
Well most people don't need a full size truck
Even me as a mobile mechanic and hauling at the farm don't really need a full size pick up the size of my Colorado is about the size of my 2002 Silverado 1500 these pick up trucks really have gotten way to big and expensive
RHO will always be in shop though.
@@abrahamreyes3340true but mid size truck shouldn’t be full size price
@@Zero8880 New Stellantis products are actually reliable.
Don’t say affordable…. Just say least expensive 😂 $50k is not affordable by most… I remember when $50k was the the top of the line and that was just a few years ago
Which year was the top of the line truck $50k
@@mattbrew11 in 2019 I was looking at the Ram Rebels and they were selling as cheap as 42k brand new around me. That's 20k cheaper than a new one now and that was only 5 years ago.
@@wesr1490he said the top of the line was 50k just a few years ago not a mid of the line rebel.
@@BoiFast Depends how you look at it. I would consider it top of the line because I would put the super trucks is their own class to be honest
It should have stayed that way. 50k being the top
I call the TRX the T-Rex as intended and I will be calling this truck the Ram Rhino.
Yea - Rhino!
$56K for a tradesman “budget” truck? “It only sounds expensive, I’ll show you more expensive trucks!” Way to go, guys LOL you sold me
That's $45k in 2020 dollars.
@@NOXStellansbut wages don’t go up 10k in 5 years….
@@jtomtl Correct. Wages have only gone up about $7,250 of those $10k. Though this is an issue with our employers, not the car companies.
-In 2020 half of American households made more than $78,250 in 2024 dollars. Today, half are making more than $74,580. (Obviously, there is a wide disparity depending on what part of the country you are in and where you work.)
@@NOXStellansI dispute your numbers, and I disagree that it’s not also a manufacturer issue. They could sell WAYYY more trucks if they didn’t price them only for the wealthy.
@@subversclothing535 they aren't stupid. They've obviously done the calculations and figured that they make more profit selling a few trucks at ridiculous prices than selling more at a reasonable price.
Maybe Stellantis should clear all the 22's 23's and 24's first.
Shows you how much profit margin is in the TRX when they can sell a nearly identical truck for $30K less.
the epa penalty eats up almost $18k of that extra charge
The trx was the price when it came out dealers had no mark ups for it but now it’s marked up like crazy because it’s going away definitely not worth it
The push for turbo 4's and 6's is getting really annoying. GM has it right. They are investing $800M in a gen 5 small block V8 family
Right in the shop. Gm v8s have lifter failure all over them 😂 best v8 currently is the coyote.
@@freedomisntfree_44 Coyote also has major issues. Do your research. Stellantis is a disaster and Jeep and Ram will probably cease to exist by 2030 because of their products are too high priced and stupid decisions by Ram and Jeep on models. Why cant I get a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with the 3.6l V6 and not the POS 4XE? Hemi also had issues and was very long in the tooth.
GM has V8 engines and they cripple them with the DOD.
GM also invested in using the iconic Blazer name for a soulless crossover back in 2020.
@@fredmertz3837 no they don’t 😂
Stellantis laid off 400 workers, 200 which are UAW workers that build the Ram. 1st quarter sales are down 15% for Ram. 70k plus trucks are not the answer right now!
You can thank the UAW for the price increase. They want more $ and work less hours.
inflation is a bitch, isn't it? Also, the UAW did this to themselves by wanting outlandishly higher wages and less hours. Modern unions have done absolutely nothing good for their members; not a single one.
You can thank the boss of the union for those lay offs. Wanting more money to work wayyyy less. I bet most of the jobs will get moved to Mexico
@@matthewgrear3260 they already have. These trucks will be largely built in Mexico.
@@jasonpitts8395 how much do you think my daughter makes? she made 38k and most of the people on the line were making less. She hadn't received raises in a few years. These trucks were already at these prices before the strike.
Great looking truck…unfortunately, 99% of us will never know. $70k plus trucks smh, what’s this world coming too 😂
That’s not true at all…
Blame unions. When your workers keep asking for more, and more, and more, you have to keep raising your prices higher, and higher, and higher to turn a profit.
I also blame American consumers. They claim they don't want to pay luxury car prices, but if you got rid of those features, they'd bitch endlessly.
These are the top dog of the line. You can still get a warlock for alot less.
Not everyone can afford the best model.
“I know $56K sounds expensive…” It is, but it’s a full size. Or you can get a new Taco TRD Pro for more money!
56k sounds cheap these days, although it is not
Corporate greed
@nycmaverick it's not corporate greed, it's endless money printing that's devalued our money. Gotta stop printing money and sending it to Israel and Ukraine.
It's also stupid government regulations driving up the cost of production.
@@nycmaverick Agreed. Everyone whines about UAW workers or inflation but that's crap. The truck prices have risen well above the inflation rate. It's just greed.
@@Dusdaddy inflation rate + UAW contracts = new pricing. Did you idiots think the shareholders would just swallow the results of those new contracts?
Consumers want a V8.
GM and Ford will always have an edge with the V8 option in a truck.
You all tend to forget GM and Ford can do that because there companies have numerous models to lower their cafe number for the epa. Ram is its own brand and there aren’t many hybrids and evs floating around dodge jeep and Chrysler
These new regulations, and Dodge not exactly having funds to make enough baby engines to offset thing under FCA, aren't exactly secrets.....
Hell, the others, Ford especially, blasting how THAT is exactly why they can keep a V8 around isn't exactly a secret (and those days for them are arguably numbered as a few places have declared outright banning ICE)
What ever happened to "fans/enthusiasts" actually knowing what is going on with what they're crazy about? 🙄
The literal only hope any of us have is hoping that since EV's aren't selling it'll force these dinosaurs to backpedal these dumb regulations.
I kinda agree. But a trx (essentially) with two less cylinders and a little less power but with better fuel mileage doesn't sound bad. For most people, 540 hp makes more sense than 702 hp.
They can say “It’s not a TRX replacement “ all they want but if they’re killing off the TRX, then it’s a replacement for the TRX.
Sad to see.
So if they didn’t come out with this, then the Rebel X would be considered the TRX replacement? Not sure it makes sense to say the top model in the lineup is always the replacement for a previous top model. Especially when Ram kinda alluded to an actual replacement at some point.
Blame the government, not the brand
Did you buy a TRX when it was available?
The implication here is that the TRX moniker will return but as a higher hp version, presumably even more power than a raptor R because knowledgeable engine builders have said this inline 6 has the capability to reliably run 1000hp
@@mattbrew11
More than 720hp out of a 3.0L straight 6? Not likely.
Another 75k+ pickup truck lineup. It's insane. They should rename this segment for these. People buying these will kill the affordable full size utility pickup trucks. These monsters with their tiny shopping cart (or man's purse as a lot of people says) in the back have nothing related to pickup, except the name. Look the "mid-size" pickups segment right now, no more 7ft beds, very limited models with 6ft beds, most commonly 5ft beds and less, all of them have 4 doors, and they all are the size of full size pickups 20 years ago, and they cost 50-60k+.
Word man, and 20 years ago Im sure those half tons are smaller than the modern mid size, I own a 2017 silverado and parked it next to a new canyon denali, man those are as tall and big as mine, but with a 4 banger hahhahaha
Yessir! The prices on new half ton trucks are ridiculous(let alone heavy duty trucks). I paid $68k for a new 18' Ram 2500 Laramie w/ a Cummins out the door, pretty well optioned out, 8ft bed w/ fifth wheel hitch, etc. It's a work truck, and it gets worked HARD. Even $68k is a lot for that truck, BUT it does clean up nicely. I can toss a camper in the bed and take the family on a camping trip, and it's an enjoyable ride every time. I wouldn't pay $70k for any of these new half ton RAMs, I don't care about the off-road chops. That's a lot of money for a truck that's not very good at doing regular "truck" things. How many people are actually paying $70k+ for a new truck just to rip it off road Baja-style? The truth is 80% of these or more will NEVER leave the pavement, the furthest off-road these go are into a shopping center parking lot. 😆Can you even get a long box with the crew cab on a half ton RAM? Anyways- how come automakers are so tone deaf as to why sales are in perpetual decline?? COST is the #1 reason preventing sales in most cases. Quality issues are a close 2nd for many, and now banks not lending on Stellantis vehicles unless they're financing 85% or less of MSRP, simply because banks don't believe CDJR vehicles are actually worth the price listed on the sticker- are reason #3. These reasons are all compounding into one major issue that needs to be addressed before the damage becomes irreversible for Stellantis. No they won't fail overnight, but if this trajectory continues, bankruptcy WILL rear its ugly head. That's a certainty if steps to change course aren't taken in the short term.
@@Alan-tr5uj So true!
@@Alan-tr5ujyou said it perfectly 👍🏾
I'll never get the weird, projected shitnaming folk like to put on this stuff, but yes!
Extend the bad, shrink the cab!
Ultimately this being a baja truck idk. Looking at real baja stuff, those cabs/constructs seem a bit longer than I'd expect for its use, but I digress. Not all of us want nor need troop transport capabilities.
Just gimme that "quad cab" so I can put the stuff that isn't best in the bed (you know, where you can put someone if you had to, but it ain't gonna be comfortable)
The hurricane has direct injection only. Didn’t they learn from Fords mistake with the gen-1 ecoboost? Ford had to add TPI to keep the intake valves clean and prevent needing a valve job at 50K miles. The Hurricane appears headedfor the same issue!
A family member just retired after working on the hurricane 6 cylinder for three years and apparently they had issues with sand stuck in the casting and the motors continuously blowing up. He said that motor will bring the brand down for good as they never got it to actually be reliable and management forced it into production even though it will not pass a single durability test that was done on the V8's. He said they land up with a cracked block around cylinder 3 and Stalantis solution was to removed the test all together and changed the software to shut down the boost to try and prevent the blocks from cracking and that they still pulled the test motors and found fractured castings that would fail in the future. Since he designed the Hemi and has awards for doing so, I believe he knows what he's talking about when he says stay away from anything with a hurricane 6 cylinder I believe him.
🧢
@@reddzrzrrider1086 He also said they redesign the cylinder sleeves to be slightly higher than the block surface with a redesign thicker steel head gasket just to prevent coolant from entering the combustion chambers and that will prolong its life hopefully so the issue makes it outside the warranty period before it becomes a noticable failure point. He said the cylinder wall thickness vs the block thickness being so thin allows it to over expand and cause fractures and they need larger spacing between cylinders and a much thicker block but due to size requirements for multi-vehicle packaging they refused to redesign the truck block differently than a soccer moms SUV. The solution is to buy a 2500 if you want to use it for anything other than a mall crawler.
LMAO. found the ford plant
@@mattbrew11The Ford F150 had many issues with the first iteration of the twine turbo V6 so I guess it's perfectly acceptable at this point to tell you to just step up to a 2500 if you want a reliable motor but in Fords case that's also not true.
@@user-bv3wo2qh1d acknowledging problems from 2 generations prior. Yep, ford plant
3 years ago 56k bought you a Laramie 4x4. Now it’s a base model work truck.
Joey B accomplishments
"2024 Laramie: 'MSPR* starting at $54,880'"
28k bought me a maverick hybrid getting 50 mpg and that does all the truck things I need to do. The mavericks have also been some of the highest rated trucks on reliability, and lowest cost of ownership studies, and highest owner satisfaction scores.
All of that is to say rethink your priorities. Unless you need to tow heavy things, which most truck owners don't, a maverick is all the truck you need. Don't buy more truck than you need, there's no point.
....but it's so ugly!
I much rather the warlock with the smaller screen and physical buttons, I just don't get the 72 inch flat screen TVs these manufacturers are putting in everything
Drivers want a big screen in thier vehicles. Distracted driving is the big thing. Next time you are stuck in traffic look at how many drivers are on their phones or touch screens in theri vehicles.
Said by someone who has never had a large screen so nos nothing about the advantages they provide
Agreed. I miss the sixth seat too. I'm glad the warlock has it.
@@ericjarvis3051 I have a normal size 8" screen in my F250 and in my Bronco I wish it was smaller, it's a waist and I drove my buddies new electric lightning with the large screen, it's ridiculous, he almost rear-ended two people fumbling with the screen to lower the temperature in the cabin
I like the RAM,but the rotary dial transmission makes it a hard NO on buying one😢, I found a dealer selling new RAM 2500, 4x4, locking rear differential, 50 gal gas tank, running boards , for 52k.
They will all look good on the dealer lot, not selling because who can afford the note!😢
I donno, I still randomly see TRX and Raptor trucks around... A long with the platinum F150's and high country chebbys... People still buy them.
With out the soul of the hemi and no blower whine I sadly don't see it selling well! People cried when the hemi died!
And yet Ford sells raptors with a v6 at multiple times the rate of TRX's. The hemi is dead. Had its time but time to move on.
@@ericjarvis3051 move on to bankruptcy!
Thanks to the EPA, there won't be another V8 produced for the US market.
This gets 70% more range to a tank and weighs less. First time ive been interested in the platform
@mattbrew11 glad that price intrigues you.
Any vehicle currently priced over 65k automatically puts only 8% potential buyers living in the US. Thats amazing marketing sense only 8% of people living in US are potential buyers. You ask why because banks now are verifying income before purchasing vehicles so good luck Dodge and everyone else.
I loved the camera work and editing in this video!!!🔥👍
Great review for a new truck! Really looking forward to watch you guys put it to the test.
13.1 quarter mile? Sheesh, is the "street" version of the HO hurricane going to dip into the 12s? That's impressive.
And thats stock, id imagine we will see some builds with the new charger
I've driven trucks every day for the past 25 years, and their 0-60 and 1/4 miles times were never a factor in my buying decision. Of course I actually use a truck as a truck, unlike most buyers today.
@@Mike-In-O-Town I get your point. But in a TRX/Raptor/RHO type truck those things matter more to the average buyer. And in the case of the hurricane specifically, it directly translates to truck duty. That power comes in early and at a low rpm and is linear all the way to the higher rpms. This makes towing and truck grunt far more usable and calm versus the previous hemi. The old school side of me admires a stock half ton able to break (or nearly break) into the 12 second range as well.
@@coachvonyo One, "average' truck buyers are not going after TRX's, Raptors, and RHO's given their ridiculous pricing. Two, I tow throughout the year, and towing would be the very last reason I'd consider the RHO and its blown six banger. Again, if 0-60 times are of importance to you, go buy a four door Dodger Charger and pocket a whole lotta cash. You'll be happier in the long run (until it is eventually stolen).
@@Mike-In-O-Town if you read my initial comment, it was in reference to the HO in the standard 1500. It's going to be very quick, and a great tower to boot looking at the numbers. Sorry if you don't see that. It's all good, we don't have to agree.
Where is the Dakota that was being hinted at. They really need to have a mid sized truck.
Thanks TFL, I've been waiting for this video and I have to say it was worth the wait.
New vehicle prices are out of control but there is people crazy enough to pay these absurd prices for a depreciating item.
As Andre said, it's 8k cheaper than a Raptor with nearly 100 extra hp. Seems like a (relative) bargain)
It needs to have more hp than a raptor, the weight of the RHO is in the 6200-6500lb range. That was the thing I didn’t like about my TRX, tons of power, but it was so heavy and you could really feel that in the sand.
@@slidewide1999 even so, the RHO and TRX still have a better power to weight ratio than a Raptor. No half ton is going to do well in sand.
And the Raptor is also way better off-road, so it’s a fair trade ig.
@@outsidewithmrt I would agree with you if an R was maybe 20k more expensive. Not when it's 40k more
@@The-fs5wn How? because of LV Fox Shocks? Take the RHO $9K-$10k you save and upgrade your suspension and it will be better than a raptor out there.
Cant wait to pull up to one in my TRX!!
Once again, a very good review of a GREAT truck! Very NICE interior and exterior shots as well. I would like to have one of these RHO trucks. I currently own a 2020 RAM REBEL with Hemi v-8, which has been a super nice quiet smooth driving and dependable truck!
I live in flagstaff I see yall played in the cinders!! Would have loved to see you all, thanks for all your great work!!!!
2k watt in bed. Yes! Should be an option on all trucks. It would be nice to have an option for 4k watt.
Huge missed opportunity. They should have offered an NA v8 or single turbo v8. Why would I choose a new Dodge 6 cylinder over the tried and true 3.5 HO?
I'm digging that front bench / 3-seater in that Warlock tho.
Great news, Can’t wait to test this 540 hp truck🔥🔥🔥
Tacoma TRD pro or this? Like a $5000 difference 😂 I’d take the RHO all day for that money
As a Tacoma owner, I agree.
Yes but the TRX / RHO comes standard with a massive douchebag factor that doesnt go away no matter what you do, the vast majority of people around you are going to think you're a complete DBAG, that goes for basically any Ram truck but the TRX/RHO is easily the worst
@@Nathans_Margarita_Salt I disagree. I think if it’s your money, do whatever makes you happy. In a midsize truck almost the same cost as a full-size that is that loaded doesn’t compare.
@@Nathans_Margarita_SaltYou thinking way too much about what other people think of you lol. The RHO is better. The Taco is overpriced period
I’ll keep my 2021 1500 Rebel with a V8 over this twin turbo crap
I really wanted you to talk about the real off-road truck in the room - the Power Wagon that was visible in the background :)
Power wagon is the truck that stand the test time. Real truck with an actual bed.
Love it. Can’t wait to see the comparison with the Raptor.
Great review Andre
It’s a trx with a 6 cylinder. Plain and simple. Don’t believe the “cheaper” hype dealers will be listing them for 100k
I own a 2001 Dodge pick up with a 318 backed by 5 spd manual it has 220000 miles 220 hp and 300 lbs of torque I'm told by todays standards this truck is useless yet it has never left me stranded it has always performed very well and I'm considering a new truck yet there is nothing comparable on the market and spare me the turbo crap and eco boost hype my sons brother in law is a Ford tech at a local dealership sooo. I have to say the simplicity of the Frontier is very appealing
I'd love to get one and head up to the Adirondack Mt's for winter trailblazing and snowboarding/camping. Defiantly going to need to take care and wash off the salt if those are runnin around NE area though lol.
Thank you for sharing Andrei. I really like the new truck.
You forgot dealer mark up unfortunately
Ram says they will build as many RHO trucks as people order them, so there should not a shortage and high mark-up.
I hope you’re right. Great coverage again guys. Keep up the good work!
@@T0MFORD I hope so too, but you know dealers will find every way to rip people off.
Yep...and DODGE was the 1st and worst of the bunch!
Plus dealer mark up would probably be sticker price for the Trx .
Andre, looks like the Rebel & RHO great responses to Ford & GM's offerings. I'm not familiar with the Rams, so I found the redundant analog controls a wonderful solution to a problem that never was needed. The only thing that would make them better would be to move both columns to the driver side, oh, and put the flat screen TV in the back seat where it belongs. Those huge multiple touch to perform simple functions screens are all about eyes not on the road.
Mass public: we want basic affordable new trucks! Chrysler: You want a Raptor competitor for the rich??? YOU GOT IT!
Looks like they kept the Dana 60 rear differential that was in the TRX. That is a good thing. Usually a manufacturer will scale back the driveline strength when installing a smaller engine.
TRX is 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. It’s been tested numerous times by numerous different magazines, CZcamsrs, etc. Just saying out loud a 540 hp vehicle is going to only be .1 sec slower than its 702 hp counterpart without putting any thought into the statement is kinda dumb.
Going to miss the sound from the TRX engine.
It looks to me like the same situation with Ford a few years back. Ford had a Raptor with a V6 engine and Ram had a TRX with a V8 engine. The TRX sold a lot more. Now the situation is exactly the opposite Ford has put the V8 engine back in the Raptor and Ram has dropped the V8 and is using a V6. The paradox...
Wow what a work of Art and such a competitive price and a lot of quality in this truck.
the modern day "muscle car wars" we saw in the 70s
👏👏Happy Thursday ☕☕
cheers too you, definitely coffee time
Happy Thursday! Bout to get some coffee myself!
Good review sir
These trucks are nice, but for us guys under 6'5", its really hard to reach into the bed over the side. Running baja is nice, but what about when I'm hauling stuff from the lumber yard? Loading and unloading these beds at this height is getting really impractical.
Nice truck. How does it sound? Price is unattractive, but not as crazy as a trd pro that's loaded with the bouncy chairs.
Curious to see what tuners can do with the TT straight 6
I've heard whisperings that some thought around 1100 hp might be possible with a good tune. Not sure I'd go that far, but it's being talked about.
Tuning a brand new truck is goofy. Voids warranty and barely makes them faster considering how much tuners cost. Thousands of dollars plus no warranty to make your truck half a second quicker.
@@arthurwright255don't think u wanna say that to all the people that do this the moment they get hellcats and trx's the moment they get them. Or at best, even bmw suvs with the I6s get tuned the moment some get them.
@@arthurwright255 Everyone I know with an HD Diesel truck is deleted and tuned, better fuel economy, power and reliability
I wish you would have told us more about the options in the passenger seat of the RHO. It looked like there was a digital screen with a power button in front of the front passenger seat.
Until people stop buying these trucks at these prices. They’re going to keep making them. they love the profit margins they’re getting. Great video as always regardless of pricing
More new trucks to sit and rot on dealer lots.
Mine will barely be there a day - just long enough for it to be delivered straight from the factory.
Unaffordable for most people now.
so is milk. But you can thank both inflation and the UAW being idiots, for these prices.
@@Kainis80don't forget the EPA and the NHTSA in that equation. Increase the cost and weight with anti-smog and driving nanny devices that contribute nothing to the function of a truck, then say they have to run cleaner, safer and burn less/no fuel.
@@alanploetz7100 while they were responsible for deleting V8 engines across the board (unless makers wanted to continue to pay billions in fines alone), the latest pricing is actually lower. My first year Rebel cost around $53k when I had it built at the factory. That was the MSRP on it, alone. In today's money that is about $70k - entirely due to inflation over that span. Coincidently, I'm getting more "truck" with this for about the same price as I paid the last time.
Halifax Chrysler in Summer 2023 had some 2024 Ram 1500 DT Warlocks. With a 5” screen & Warlock sticker it looked exactly like a Tradesman + Warlock sticker.
Looks amazing without the price tag, rental only
That gawky RHO sticker is just going to be a bat signal for a TRX wannabe. Better have a “remove badges” option LOL
The sad part is markups 😢
Yep, when comparing the RHO to the Raptor prices, the first thing I wondered was whether Ram dealers jack the prices as badly as Ford dealers do.
No one is paying markups anymore
Markups will be 20-30k. But to be fair the dealers have to make money too, and plenty of people are fine with paying a markup.
@@The_Draque I want to know where you are buying trucks.
@@The_DraqueI totally agree… No one is paying markups anymore 🤦🏽♂️
So cool that they are releasing all these cool ass trucks at the height of interest rates.
I have an 01 F350 with the glorious 7.3 international. Watching this makes me want to keep it even more.
Ford doesn't need to be worried because Ford F-150 raptor can be turned up to 660hp 550 ft lbs.
not on a 23 yet!!
You're right especially with the right bolt ons. But you know these same tuners will be all over this Ram powertrain too. I love it though - competition and options for us peons
You don’t think they can turn up the power on this motor? Tim Kuniskis already said it’s capable of over 1000hp. There will be a raptor R competitor soon enough.
Lol you think tuning wont be possible on a much better inline TT?
They are for the most part capable trucks. It comes down to the driver.
Despite the neutering of the TRX, this is a good move by RAM. Lots of people have been asking for this.
I own a TRX and it’s the best, most comfortable, truck I’ve ever owned.
I would gladly own an RHO, which is literally a TRX with less HP, but you still get the suspension, looks, comfort. Maybe a bit better mpg too??? Puts it as a better daily driver for some.
I’m not selling my TRX for this one, but I think it’s gonna be a great truck.
Tilt stirring/ ac/ power door and mirror/ Cruze . That's all I need
You guys as always did a good quality video. I thought i would always stick with ram forever, but with there new direction I'm going with Toyota or Ford from now on.
Lost two cylinders and almost 200 horsepower? What is Ram thinking…
They already produce in my opinion, what I consider junk, I own all 3 major American manufacturers for my business and ram has been the worst of the 3 time and time again.
And probably at least two hundred pounds off the front end. Should handle much better.
@@Bdigital9482 hu, I work for a major us company that is nation wide that uses all 3 major trucks by the thousands and would put that argument to the test ANYDAY!!! Ford builds the worst product by a mile and that's soliitifed by actual numbers Damn things can stay on the roads for anything!!!
Why do people keep saying this. This isn't a Ram decision, this is an EPA decision.
the billions that Stellantis will be saving every year that they don't have to pay Tesla to offset fuel efficiency requirements brought on by the US government MANDATES. Stellantis had to pay that, and Fiat-Chrysller before them, just to keep the HEMI's going a little longer for fans.
When you see a Tacoma now pushing $65,000, spending $70,000 for a Rebel seems to be a no brainer. Good luck Toyota selling those TRD PRO’s…..But, will people come running for those Inline 6’s. Definitely not…..GM and Ford can capitalize on this.
That's what I was thinking 😆😆
I would love to see a drag race, both on and off road. Between the new Ram RHO, and the Raptor ARRR! At this point, because of stupid pricing. I can only afford to watch other people drive these trucks! Lol.
Full size truck that sounds like a high powered lawnmower. Awesome. I will keep the OG TRX.

Only $4k more than a Tacoma TRD Pro that’s really impressive
I hate when people defend the high prices especially when these vehicles lose their resale value super fast.
except they don't. In fact, full-sized trucks carry their resales the absolute best. I have a 9, almost 10 year old Rebel that I can easily sell for around 20k now. It was purchased for just over $42k back then.
How many miles do you have on it? And besides I'm speaking on current prices accompanied by high interest rates .
If (?) you can get a RHO for $72,000 then it's not a bad deal by 2024 standards.
Ram headquarters stopped taking orders on this truck already. I just tried to order from the dealer and the option was no longer there for them. They called Headquartes for Ram and said they stopped taking orders and didn't give a date on when they will start again.
Congrats RAM. Finally catching up with the Raptor 👏
It’s the Ram Scat Pack!
Yea - you are right!
3.0 Litres….NOPE… absolutely any mechanical engineer can tell you that a tiny straight six (think bmw 3 series) will have to run 1.5 to 2.0 BAR just to keep up with an aggressively tuned NA V-8. That level of internal stress, temperature, and fatigue on the bottom end (much less then damn head and valve train), will dramatically limit the life and reliability of this engine. Let’s see the 3.0TT after 100K miles of hard driving.
All depends how it is designed, and what materials are utilized.
This isn't 1980 or even 1990 anymore. We have vastly improved materials and engine management systems.
Andre 🎉 @ 1:35.. yes!! " this is where it's at".. yes!.. LADIES and Gentlemen!.. look..
A REAL truck interior.. Look at that BEAUTIFUL 🤩 floor space!.. no STUPID , RIDICULOUS center console!..
And a three across front seat..
This is Literally ALL THE APPEAL!!.. all the appeal of a truck...
I really liked the Rebel (I'm a Chevy guy, have a 2007.5 6.0), drove one in Florida as a rental a few years ago. Pretty sure it was only 2wd but it had a lot of options including the upgraded headlights which was really nice. Still just can't wrap my head around spending that kind of money on a new pickup.
The RHO is really killing the game. It's even cheaper than the rebel x. It cost a few thousand more than midsize trucks. Honestly, the r h o seems like the best deal so far for a high performance off road truck
I don't see Raptor R owners bashing their Raptor owners as much as TRX with their TRX RHO, sad very sad
I feel like ford boys crapped on the ecoboost when it came out replacing the 6.2 v8
@@chadstellwagen3460 yes, and they learn to love and live with it, even after the Raptor R came out, not everyone can afford $100k+ truck
I love the 3.5 high output for daily the only reason I would get the raptor r if it’s a weekend truck
Good styling on the trucks. So they're pricing the Rebel X and RHO entry at the same price range though...seems like people would just skip the Rebel if its not that much of a gap to get into some reminiscent of the TRX though
I dont understand how vehicles keep selling for these prices.... I make a great salary and i cannot possibly justify these prices even if i was paying cash.... people taking out 8-9 year loans for cars, please stop! Its not okay guys.
I feel the same way. I make a good living and I cannot justify wasting my money.
I love it. The 11 mpg, $100k trx was cool but not practical.
Ram, come on already with the updated Power Wagon!
Saw it there in the background behind the RHO. Was curious what they’ve changed there as well.
they showed off a new power wagon in the reveal video for the RHO.
@@Kainis80 fairly certain that was the old PW.
@@krashnpa nope. The entire new lineup was part of the reveal video
@Kainis80 pretty sure it wasnt. Even the PW on stage with Andre is the old one.
So is this a Rebel High Output or will it be offered with the larger bed?
Thanks Andre!! I think i would take the Ram Warlock!!
The Warlock doesn't sound expensive, it IS expensive... Please call it what it is.
You can show more expensive trucks, but that does make that truck affordable.
soon premium option going to be badge or windshield wiper/washer :D
I like the classic grill but the warlock is alot darker than I want. I do think the RHO would make a fun weekend truck with that high output. But suspect parking in standard parking lot could be a challenge.
A 15 second QM hemi or a 12-13 second Hurricane with benefits that also translate directly to improved towing? You guys are nuts. I'll miss the hemi roar and overall simplicity as much as the next guy but like Ford with the ecoboosts, RAM will rebound. Remember, the slumping sales are with the Hemi right at this moment.
