Any TRX owner actually driven the RHO?

[04Ram2500Hemi]

No, I don’t want to trade the TRX for a RHO. I’m just curious if anybody who owns a TRX has actually driven the RHO? I’m just curious how they honestly stack up, not by some YouTuber looking for clicks.

Have you ever driven a clone? A vehicle that looks like something it is not. That was rebadged V8 when it had a 6. That is what it is like, like living a lie! Similar milage but way less fun. Nothing beats the TRX! Pedal feel, exhaust note, pride all take a hit in the rhellno.

I had a 2020 Raptor, does that count?

But seriously, I just wonder how it feels. I know it’s slower, and the sound is different. But is it noticeably more nimble at speeds, especially in the corners? I know the fuel economy will be better in the RHO, but when cruising at 75mph by how much? Again, just curious.

From what I hear not too much fuel savings. Was not allowed out of a specific drive that only allowed 35 nothing more spirited. Could have pushed for driving it harder but was not looking to buy one. They were trying to get my TRX. They really thought I would like it, I did not. Offer to drive it was there so had to see just like when they got the new charger in. Pedal felt shit in comparison to me but im biased. There is a feeling you just can't replicate. Love my TRX, rho had extra screen I don't believe id ever use and sounded crap!

I've driven a Grand Wagoneer and my father in law's Tungsten, does that count? The 3.0HO in his is noticeably quicker than the 3.0SO in my buddy's Laramie but also noticeably less powerful than my TRX and you can still feel the lag. Unfortunately, no I haven't dragged him...

I know the fuel economy will be better in the RHO...

It is on the highway but not if you're towing, I got almost identical or slightly better MPG, towing the same enclosed trailer with a similar SxS, than he did on the same route at the same time. When the 3.0 is in the boost it guzzles gas. My buddy's previous Laramie with the 5.7 got much better MPG than his 3.0SO does in every situation.

I've heard about them and read about them on-line. Never even seen one in person. Sure that doesn't help much.

I have driven one - very nice truck, but not a TRX

 

[Trackmunkey]

Drove it extensively around town and freeways for a few hours.

You will notice the power difference, no doubt there. But I feel like the trans and suspension tuning are a little sharper.

Would I trade my TRX? No. I would buy one if I was in the market for a new truck and the TRX didn't exist.

My son had an RHO for about 3 months (until it kept leaving him stranded with a no start problem the dealer couldn't find). I drove it a couple times it did seem to ride a little better (mine's 3 years old with 33K on it) and the bigger screen was nice but it's DEFINITLY no TRX.

The throttle pedal mapping from factory is dookie! A pedal commander or the cat6 completely changes it though, pretty much eliminates the "lag" people talk about, the issue is not mechanical... The handling in sport mode is silly, no business throwing a 6k truck into corners like it will do. MPG's at 75 mph are 15-ish...

They'll click off 0-60's in the low 4's and the 1/4 in the high 12's..

I’ve seen what you do with your truck. You’re far from average!

A. More Gay
B. Less Gay
C. Same amount of gay
D. Rather not say

So about the same as my TRX then.

The RHO is a neutered TRX. Simple as that.

Like I said, put a trailer on it, in boost the Hurricane chugs gas like it's drinking from Das Boot

Well said.

It's like great DNA vs. lesser Implants.

Just not the same - ever.

...no matter how much the 'Operator' tries to enjoy them and convince themselves otherwise.

At social gatherings (intersections to gas stations) can't help but notice sightings of the real thing.

Like wearing a $500 Rolex in Asia then sporting it, while perusing a Rodeo Drive luxury watch store. Aware of the initial envious looks of others who then look away seconds later shaking their head and turning their backs.

The RHO is 'TRX Cosplay' at a car meet.

Attached example - they both claim to be and perform like Pamela Anderson.

I’m still stuck at “rhellno”
