New info on 98 mph top speed.

[Mikey Swift]

LOL Thanks, Mikey. Now people will be asking how to do that on their truck.

Bro, I troll the Facebook page so hard with random features that don't exist...I'm like, if you're not gonna bother to read the manual and learn about your vehicle, I'm gonna make stuff up.

I’ve already ran beyond 100mph in Mexico. It was easy. And like others have mentioned, you cannot even run a 1/4 mile under 98mph. This is a prime example of simply because you’ll never use it doesn’t mean it should not have the capability.

Ultimate point being I am not one to be cucked by a manufacturer. If you tell me it is capable of XYZ for $$, that is exactly what I expect. We all know most Vette ZR1 owners won’t sniff 200mph, let alone 233mph. However, if GM came out AFTER owners have taken delivery and stated we reduced Top Speed by 20mph, they would be slapped with a lawsuit before end of business day.

THIS !!!!!

Ask barry at ctech. He just did a youtube video on a 26 but I dont think he drove it.

@Ctech-Review

He did NOT drive it !

 

[Attakracer]

Even base raptors will do 110mph if thats true about the rho thats very lame.

Time to switch to the Raptor I almost bought instead of the RHO till I heard the RHO smokes the Raptor !!

 

[Attakracer]

I surprised by the amount of people saying they will never hit or exceed 98. Bunch of grandpas. Y’all are making this truck sound not cool.

I'm old and I had mine to 118 the first week I owned it !!! (And I thought it would go faster ) !!!

And when you look at the interior of wall to wall plastic as well as the boring exterior design. It's a no brainer just wish Ram would get their heads out of their asses.

Have to go title the wifes new whip tomorrow. Might hit the 118 limit just for fun, havent done it yet. Cops cant chase for speed here so im good lol

 

[Attakracer]

I agree, and I am 100% against Ram doing this, but also trucks absolutely suck at those speeds honestly. If you wanna go over 100mph consistently, buy a performance car like a BMW m4. Those are literally designed in every single way to be ran at well in excess 100 MPH, and it won't feel like it's going to fall off the road/explode at those speeds. Not to mention, good luck running this thing at anywhere near that and having enough braking power to stop basically more than once with the OEM setup. It's a 7,000lb vehicle.

It's not remotely a deal breaker for me.

This is a more of a 0-60mph, cruising at 90ish kind of vehicle- not a top speed, race around going 130mph vehicle.

Apparently you guys are the premier dealer for these trucks so you guys need to use your pull and stop this shit !!!!!!!

 

[Attakracer]

No you're right. I do think a rebel with more of a old school truck suspension will handle much worse at high speed than a long travel baja truck that's designed to not only go high speeds but do it in harsh conditions like the dessert.

Rho should be more stable at those speeds than the rebel.

It's very much in it's element at and above the 100 mph mark !!!

 

[Attakracer]

Yeah I guess, but it's still a massive, tall, 7,000lb vehicle with a crappy brakes, a shit ton of wind resistance and fat, squishy, high sidewall 35" off road tires. Nothing about trucks is efficient for high speeds. I'm sure an RHO still feels like it's going to fly off the road at those speeds, regardless of suspension. Again, just my 2 cents. I'll take the car out when I'm looking for that kind of action. I mostly come from the performance car area of things so I'm probably just biased from being in those vehicles for such a long time. Once you drive those cars, trucks feel like a joke at those speeds.

An m4 feels more stable at 150 than my truck does at like 75.

Not this truck !! It's not a corvette but its great at speed for a truck this size !

And when you look at the interior of wall to wall plastic as well as the boring exterior design. It's a no brainer just wish Ram would get their heads out of their asses.

You are correct !!! It is WAY nicer on the inside too !! But de-tuning after purchase is TOTAL bullshit !!

 

[testerdahl]

What about @testerdahl ......doesn't he have a connection at RAM, especially with the RHO?

I have things to say but I can’t say. Ya know.

 

[Attakracer]

Butter the Insider just posted a good video about this earlier this morning. He said he's willing to look further into this.

Definitely look into this further pleeeease Butter !!!!!

 

[Attakracer]

Has anyone noticed on the Ram site…2025 RHO no longer lists 118mph top speed?

But, they say it gets 21 mpg hwy. They edit the top speed, but leave the false mpg info. Slick!

21mpg ???????? Must be a 45mph highway !!!!! I got 13.6 on I-75 (250 miles)

Answers are coming.

 

[Attakracer]

I think if a few guys refuse to take delivery until they have an answer (assuming their trucks only go 98) dealers will have answers real quick.

I'm thinking your right !!!

 

[Myers1981]

Answers are coming.

How soon

 

[Metallikahn]

This is the 2026 Hemi Media release. Its refers to the HO and says 540 hp.
Any other HO trucks other than RHOs having this problem or limits?
