Seeing many RHO's?

[RADA]

I’m fortunate enough to make a decent salary and I still question it every time I make my $830 payment.

Same here.

With each multi-day service center visit, the question is skipping in my brain like a bad record....

I saw 1, possibly 2 in Las Vegas. I've seen at least a dozen TRXs, maybe more. And TONS of Raptors. Handful of Rs.

No way Ram prices the new TRX near 85k. That would probably cut sales of the RHO in half. At that point would Ram even continue selling the RHO just to sell 3500 units per year? Even if the TRX is 95k, it will probably still take a small percentage of RHO sales.

I understand why Ram started the RHO moniker when they had to get rid of the V8. They didn't want to force people to accept a TRX with a 6 cylinder. It wouldn't have went over well. Even still the RHO gets a ton of shit for the 6 cylinder.

My point is that the RHO and TRX are already niche specialty trucks. It would seem like less dilution of the market for Ram to have one or the other. Maybe Ram could have adopted the Raptors model, and offer the TRX with 2 power train options. Standard TRX with the Hurricane for $75 to $85k ..... and the TRX with the Supercharged V8 for $95 to $105k.

Houston - I've seen 2 RHO's and 5 TRX's - I have had several people come up to me and comment that my truck was first RHO they had seen in the wild.

Spring /Woodlands TX area and have seen a white one in my hood. He lives next to a white raptor r. Makes for a scenic route on our family walk lol

 

[RamFan]

I don’t see many RHO or TRX in south texas. Much more Raptors around.

There are Raptors everywhere in the Houston Area and Kingwood...I mean everywhere....

I finally saw my first other RHO in the wild. Was gray and no badging so looked like a normal Ram to anyone but I knew it was a RHO not TRX. Was in a small town hour away from me.
A couple TRXs in my town (about 75k population) but I'm the only one here. Bought mine in my metro area about hour and half away.
When I took it to my local dealer from a High Oil error message last week a few of the sales people saw me pull up right away and acted like they've never seen one in person before...probably haven't...one dude even asked "Is that yours? "
I'm only 38 but what does that mean? No bro I just found it the other day. Or implying its my dad's? Thought it was funny.
I'm glad to be the only RHO in the wild here. Just was at my friend's for New Year's who own the Toyota dealer in town. Him and bunch of other Yota guys were checking my RHO out. I can tell they aren't really Ram guys but they seemed to really like it (unless they talked crap later behind my back) lol don't care regardless I love my white/black RHO.

Bro, this happened to me all the time when I had the Slingshot...people would ask me, is this yours? I'm like "nah, I just rented it to drive over here at 11pm and grab these groceries."

I'm 36 myself, but in the area I live it's not uncommon to see 20 year olds in brand new M cars, c8 corvettes, you name it.

I'm a nobody

20 year olds in *their parents* cars lmfao

I knew alot of kids like that growing up in Richie rich town. Every single one cant make a sandwich nowadays and are addicted to one substance or another providing absolutely zero to society. Still Living off mom and dad in their late 20s. Parents dont know the harm they do when they hand their kids everything and give them zero aspirations.

You're preaching to the choir dude. It's funny you say the thing about drugs:

I was at the hand car wash back sometime in fall. This kid, who couldn't have been more than 21, pulled up in a brand new carbon fiber decked out m4. Needless to say, he kept bringing this small Louis Vuitton bag with him into the bathroom. He must have went in 5 times within 1 hour. He was 100% doing drugs in there. Crazy. This was like 10am on a Saturday, by the way.

They can have that lifestyle with all the free cars, I don't want it. I've worked hard for everything that I own and take pride in that fact. Not to mention, if my old man knew I was doing that kind of shit (and he would've) he'd have thrown me through a wall. These kids parents don't give two shits about them. Sad.
