What did you do to your RHO Today?

How do you feel about the extreme after having it installed for a week? I'm debating ordering it.
I've had mine on for a month or so now, and I haven't listened to the stereo much at all since installing it. I love mine. Not really loud except for cold starts and when you mash the pedal and want it to be. Otherwise, it's fairly docile around town and when driving sensibly. It does have some drone at 75-85 MPH, but it's not overbearing in my humble opinion.
 
They're 1" screws. #8 was closest I could get for the OD. The pitch was off, but since it was basically a wood screw, it didn't matter much.
I did this for my license plate with a little Amazon kit. They're Torx head with the little post in the center.....wonder if they would work for the display too?

Soooo.... I really like it around town... and I really don't like it towing my boat down the highway for extended trips!

What don’t you like about it? I spoke to a few guys at a TRX/RHO meet and they love towing with it.

Are you approaching max weight? I’ll be towing my boat for the first time this weekend.

Make sure you check you trailer lights. I went to tow my bass boat a couple of weeks ago and the trailer running lights didn't work. Checked all the fuses, hooked the trailer up behind two other trucks, and the trailer lights worked perfect behind them, Ford F150 and a 2022 Ram 1500. I had one of my service techs contact Star and was he told this is a "know concern" effecting 2025 1500's, with "no current remedy". Apparently the new trailer light module has a pre determined amp load for each trailer light circuit, and if your trailer exceeds that amp draw, it cuts that circuit off. My trailer is pulling 15.3amps on the running light circuit, and the truck decided it was too high. Keep in mind the fuse for the trailer light circuit is 25 amps per side. I hooked up my ski boat and got the same result. No running lights. And again the ski boat trailer lights worked perfect behind a 2022 ram 1500.

As far as the actual towing, the truck did very well, except it sags the rear suspension a little more than id like it too.

How big of a boat? This is one thing I was sort of getting excited about with the adjustable ride of the shocks. My '24 AT4X with the DSSV shocks sagged and it was annoying. 2022 Cobalt CS22 22.5'

Good to know. We have a 22ft Cobalt and the Longhorn towed it very well and the air springs were heaven sent. We figured we would have to make adjustments or get airbags since the combo is about 5k lbs.

But it will absolutely suck if we don’t have lights.

I used to pull my boats with a 2020 1500 Limited. I really miss the air suspension, but the RHO pulls much better. It pulled both my 21'6" bass boat and my 22' MasterCraft with ease. Only dislike, other than the running lights, was the sag. The rear squatted about 1.5" with the bass boat, and almost 3" with the MasterCraft.

You basically just get the same 75-85 mph drone.... but at 70 as the truck wants to sit in 7th instead of drop into 8th. I went on only about a 1 hour away trip to smash some north dakota smallmouth in my phoenix (not even close to max weight) and drove face first into a head wind the whole way at 70... stuck in 7th just droning away
 
Having said that... I do have the bolt in mufflers from mrt to make it the trail rated... however, as I said I really like it around town. I'll probably just be that loser now that bolts the mufflers up when I'm going on long trips with the family. Biggest thing I miss from my gen3 was the dang active exhaust

You're saying the RHO squats 3" with your MasterCraft? In tow mode?

How did you do the RAM letter surrounds on the grille? And those paracord wraps look amazing! Might need to do all 4 of mine that way since RAM cheaped out and didn't wrap the rears and no red stitching on the fronts

The RAM surround is a decal from Etsy. I can't take credit for the wrapping, my buddy did all 4 of them for me and they look great! I'm super happy with the color match too.
