How many of you are bailing from the RHO when the TRX is released?

Interesting, I didn't know there was a 3.2L version of the Pentastar. My daughter's Charger has the 3.6L Pentastar, and while it's not a slacker it is CERTAINLY not a muscle engine - even for a sedan.

They only put the 3.2L in the one he bought. Only reason they did it was to give an RHO a run for the money...

The Cherokee got the transverse 3.2L V6 and the Grand Cherokee got the 3.6L V6...

Absolutely nothing wrong with it, I just see a lot of those X5/X7 M series in the pick-up lines along with the escalade and yukons(denalis of course) . They seem to be the "hot" suv among soccer dads and moms

Where is this line at??...I want to Bump into a woman driving 500+hp small suv...I have a feeling she might be fun...

I gotta say, I raced my wife in her Sequoia TRD Pro this week. We were rolling at about 40 when she gunned it, and we stopped at 85. I beat her, but it’s wasn’t a gigantic gap!

Need to know so I can block all of you now

Kidding, just curious.

It’s the RHO for me. 540 HP is plenty for me (44 yr old old guy). It’s my daily so the RHO is just more practical in my opinion

My Wife would take you on even if driving a shopping cart...I recall some years back, she was driving her Dinan modified Z3 3.0 (stick shift) and we were at the lights next to a Camaro...Lights changed and off she went, and so did the Camaro...The excitement got to her as she forgot to change out of 2nd gear...Her excuse was that her car floated out as it hit the rev limiter, to which I responded, "that's why there's a 3rd, 4th and a 5th gear"...A Man can die on a diet of, "Hot Tongue & Cold Shoulder"

Keeping my RHO, love this truck.The TRX would give me anxiety every time I park it somewhere thinking it might get stolen. I still look back at my truck every time I park it somewhere.

I always felt that way with my Redeye Challenger.

Yep, with a factory tune soon, more than enough

Heck with the DS, I dont want to say its night and day...but it kinda is....the truck was quick before, but the torque it adds is felt as we know torque moves the vehicle....it really puts you back in your seat.

The truck now moves like a TRX and probably better off the line with similar torque and better gearing.

I have had the privilege of owning a hellcat, a redeye and a Scatpack.
I found the scatpack to be the most fun because of usable power. The friggin redeye was simply too damn fast but the Scatpack was just right.

That makes sense.....my MX-5 is a blast and has only 181hp(yes I made sure to add the 1 in there) but its usable all the time, coming out of a corner at any speed, 15mph-75mph, you just mat the gas and go..

What fun is that?! You can do that with a Honda accord too.

If you think an Accord is fun to drive…well that explains everything.

Hey man, don’t cop an attitude with me. You’re the one that said you can mash on the gas at any speed and nothing fun happens!

Not any speed lol. As the old saying goes, it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow….

I can relate. I had a 2020 Subaru STI and it was an absolute blast to drive. It only had about 300 HP but you could rev the absolute piss out of it. It's nice to be able to wind something out without immediately going triple the speed limit.

Car also had a great AWD system and was very fun/capable in the snow.

It did have a very hard to drive manual transmission though. The clutch was heavy with a very high grab point and a small window before stalling. Sitting 2 hours a day in stop and go traffic, it got old fast. I'd literally get fatigued and start stalljng it. I had daily driven manuals almost my entire adult life, but that was the last one. I don't miss it as much as I thought I would .
