So you have a personal body guard, that no one would even know.

Exactly! When I would be at work at the club, I'd never have to worry, I fear for the guy that tried to touch her.

I tried the "go make me a sandwich" line today. She thought it was funny.

No sandwich though...

I feel like people are just spamming this post so everyone looks for an update Also seems like the MOPAR tuner designers changed there tune as soon as the trx was announced.

We are all just conferring on how to take out our anger at the lack of the tuner on our wives, lol!

I have no idea about this tuner. It was basically a guarantee according to people who were @ SEMA and from the emails Mopar DC sent me (and others).

Now, once the TRX was announced it's radio silence. Suppose we will see.

I still want it to happen, because I'll probably buy one even though I'll be changing trucks in the near future.

Totally agree my post was in light humor, mostly because I can't stop checking.

Forget the emails, I think it’s time you make an unannounced visit to Mopar/DC and show them this thread and tell them, for the love of god at least do it for our wives!

I'm pretty sure that we know more about what Direct Connection is doing than Direct Connection does.

We should just make our own tuner at this point, and put a Mopar sticker on it. It's not like they actually know their own product lineup

TRX announcement was anything but a surprise. Several months back a new TRX was confirmed. And then the 1/1/26 announcement was announced, and everyone knew it was for the TRX.

So it's not like MOPAR decided to suddenly scrap their plans for the RHO all of the sudden, because they're going to put all their energy and focus on the TRX.

If anything, RAM wants to give potential RHO customers more incentives to purchase a RHO. And better performance and more horsepower would definitely help attract more buyers.

If someone can't afford a TRX, but they can afford a RHO with a tunable TT I-6, that's still pretty damn good.

Makes total sense, and I really hope you're right.

Or maybe just maybe some of us can afford a TRX but prefer the RHO

Definitely. Several reasons why many prefer a RHO over a TRX, that don't include financial reasons. But for simplicity sake, the big jump in cost is usually one of the main reasons why many would start looking at the RHO as a more logical and reasonable choice.

The RHO will always handle better on and off road than the TRX.

And considering the price difference between the hurricane crate engine and hellcat engine isn’t 30k. Hard to explain the price difference

I wish they'd just give us sosm

TRX is overpriced as hell. In a perfect world the hellcat would simply be like an 8k option on the RHO. The rest of the the truck is identical so I don't see where they got 30k extra from lol

Agreed. It’s because the RHO is already over priced. Hell, all vehicles are over priced. Just keep racing prices to keep stock holders happy.

Hellcat vs hurricane is $17,000. Then there’s the 8HP95, CAFE fines. Partial lvl 1 package

Exactly. I'm still going to buy the TRX - but that will legitimately be my last vehicle purchase until that the wheels fall off. I've bought a brand new vehicle every 2.5 years max since I was 18 years old, and I'll finally be done with that.

Guys, it’s only a $16k difference between an equivalent RHO and the SRT TRX. You have to take into account the packages that are already in the TRX

Agreed. Allocation may affect real world price. TRX fuel and maintenance cost will be more but I would bet in 5 yrs it will be worth more than the extra $16k original premium paid.
