Seeing many RHO's?

Even though no one wanted to hear it, I mentioned this in another thread as a major concern for the future of the RHO. It's pretty apparent the standard output Hurricane isn't going anywhere- but if they release this alleged TRX at a fair price, and the sales blow the RHO out of the water, I'd imagine Ram has little to no incentive to continue making the RHO.

To be completely honest, I love my RHO, but theres no way in hell I'd have bought it over the TRX had they both been available at the time I purchased. I'd imagine this is a sentiment a lot of us share? It's already been driving me nuts that they they're going to release a TRX again. If it's in the cards for me financially, I'm 100% going to pull the trigger on one. I genuinely can't help it. That's the truck I've always wanted from day 1, but back in 2022 when they came out I simply didn't have the buying power to even consider one, but now I do.

People will say "well Ford keeps both the ecoboost & R Raptors in the lineup". Yeah, well Ford also sells a gazillion ecoboost Raptors.

Ram was completely content not having the RHO exist when they had the TRX in the lineup. Well, now they're going to have a TRX in the lineup again. The RHO was strictly their answer to the TRX going bye bye and now the TRX isn't bye bye anymore.

If the new TRX is 100k+ then everything I just said is completely irrelevant. If it comes in at 85k like some people are thinking, then I think there's trouble ahead. Suppose we will see.

What will really suck is if the RHO does get discontinued, its value on the resale market could tank completely. Which makes me even more nervous and makes me consider getting rid of it before that would potentially happen.

This is all just speculation, since they offer the High Output in the Tungsten as well, and there's no way in hell they'd put the 6.2 in the Tungsten. So if they do keep the H.O. around, then they'll probably keep the RHO around.

I too have seen WAY more Raptors now since I got my RHO. They seem to seek me out and tail me for some reason...like dogs sniffing each other's asses.

besides cost, that’s specifically the one thing I wouldn’t want. I don’t want to deal with rattles, leaks, broken slider gears after a year or two of off road use.

I’m sure it’s nice for the pavement princesses out there though. 😉

I've done everything you've with yours and nary a squeek !!
 
There are a few RHOs on dealer lots in north GA but I haven’t come across one in the wild yet. Raptors and TRX’s are common.

The RHO is still a unicorn here which I like but I share Wrinkled’s concerns about its future.

Regardless, I’m loving mine, I’m just trying to unsuccessfully convince myself that the exhaust doesn’t bother me. 😂

Are you guys running an exhaust? I actually love the exhaust note of the H.O Hurricane with the aFe Vulcan. Sure, V8's always sound better, but I genuinely love the Hurricane exhaust. What I like most about the TRX is the supercharger whine, not necessarily the exhaust.
 
Doing something with the exhaust is at the top of the list but I haven’t heard anything that I love on the RHO.

Between Magnaflow, AWE, aFe and Borla I do like the sound of the aFe the best. I dislike the popping and BWAPS during gear shifts and the aFe seems like it’s the only one that doesn’t accentuate that.

The MRT Extreme is way too loud for me but their Trail Rated Mid Pipe sounds very good in the marketing clips. I’m leaning toward trying that. Doesn’t replace anything that doesn’t need to be replaced, but it does replace the single muffler with two. I think the valves are replaced though and that could affect high speed drone. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a before/after comparison of the Trail Rated Mid Pipe system to stock anywhere.

You guys know there is an exhaust thread right? Or maybe you're new to this site? :unsure:

Since they started to arrive at dealer lots in the Fall of 2024, I’ve only seen TWO on the road since then in the Los Angeles area. This includes driving all over SoCal… I do see raptors constantly! and some TRXs (still a very few but wayyyyy more than RHOs).

Not a bad thing to have a unique truck in my area 😂
