You provide absolutely nothing of value here...don't get it twisted. I've had 3 random warning lights that went away after I restarted the truck. 1 visit to dealer for oil change at 7500 miles...that's it. I have 12k miles and just completed a 44 hour 3300 mile roadtrip to Cali and back with zero issues. That's one of 4 cross country trips I've taken in the last 2 months without issue.
You want so badly for all these trucks to have issues, makes zero sense. Just admit you can't afford it and move on, we would respect that more than the bullshit you come here and spew.
Mikey is right. Although the anecdotal evidence shows some individual RHOs have experienced relatively significant issues resulting in long stays at the dealership, it seems the vast majority of the ~6,700 MY 2025 units are working well and/or without material issues.
Early on many RHOs, along with other Stellantis vehicles, were plagued with a bad batch of batteries. That issue is now in the rear view mirror. I didn't know about that problem until I joined the forum, so I would randomly go out and check the voltage to make sure it was okay. I even bought Noco charger just in case! That said, my truck has started EVERY TIME I press the red button, even when it's been sitting around for a few days when I'm on a trip.
Knowledgeable buyers know that buying a vehicle in its first model year is a risk. Today's vehicles are significantly more complex than they were just 10 years ago. I knew I was "rolling the dice," so to speak, when I purchased my 2025 RHO (leased actually, to avoid the depreciation risk), but the factory warranty and lemon laws gave me comfort that I would be taken care of if I rolled snake eyes. But, what is the level of that risk? Yes, I have had some electronic issues (Uconnect Box mainly, but I press "ok" and motor on trouble free) but none that have hindered function or my enjoyment of the truck. Given the fact that owners experiencing major problems are at least 10x more likely to vocalize their dissatisfaction, which they should, they still represent a very small minority of the overall production run (at least so far).
I've always preached the merits of buying Japanese and haven't bought a new car in ~30 years. I fully expected that when I replaced my 2007 Chevy Tahoe with 274,000 miles I would go with a Lexus, Toyota, or Honda. After evaluating their new offerings, I took a pass. They all have their own problems with engines, steering gears, average to below average performance, interiors no better than a rental car, etc. I never expected Japanese-like quality from the RHO, but after driving one, holy sh*t I knew I had to have one! I cross-shopped the AT4X and Raptor (EcoBoost) and decided against those, too, for various reasons (Ford is the recall king of late).
I bear no animosity to any RHO owner who wants to get out of their truck. If I were experiencing major issues, I would do the same, but I would most likely Lemon Law it, make them buy it back and turn around and buy another RHO. So, it kind of comes down to this. If the RHO isn't for you, then politely say "no" and move on, brother. There are plenty of options and there has never been a better time to be a car/truck enthusiast!
