Any TRX owner actually driven the RHO?

I just saw yesterday how they limited the RHO to 98 mph :oops:

It gets worse. One owner has confirmed that at full throttle over 4500rpms the truck is dropping boost from 28psi to 21psi. Essentially losing about 100hp under full acceleration. Although unconfirmed owers are speculating ram did this with their flash update to remove power so it prevents the ongoing issues such as melted cats and so on.

I hope they get it all sorted out because I do feel for those owners. That sucks what's going on and ram is just radio silence. Really bad look.
 
The only thing I’ve seen so far with the RHO in all the reviews online that is better is the front camera. The location is higher, and it’s a better view/angle. I still think it would be fun to drive one.

This is a wild allegation but could see Stellantis pulling a stunt like this. Insane if true.

I can absolutely see them doing that. They did something similar in the past when they got super aggressive with the COT (Cat Over Temp) tuning on newer Hellcats. Cars were falling on their face before the end of a 1/4 mile run and people were pissed about it.
 
Like I said, put a trailer on it, in boost the Hurricane chugs gas like it's drinking from Das Boot
That's what happened when towing with a borrowed F-150 Ecoboost. It used more gas than my 5.7 Ram 2500 pulling the same trailer, on the same 1,000-mile stretch. And by quite a bit.

Boost taper is very common in turbo vehicles. Tapering boost is not a reduction in almost 100hp.
Boost log of stock curve vs diablosport cat6 curve. Both curves follow the same taper.

Interesting. Learn something new everyday. I could have swore I remember my grt hitting boost and staying at a max until a redline shift. I thought all turbo cars would be the same but im far from an expert.
 
I commute a 2023 Corolla Le… can’t imagine much of a difference it handles okay, wouldn’t take off road
 
I bought my daughter one in 2021. She doesn’t know it yet until 2085..
I told my youngest that the TRX is really for her too. ... when She is 30...she is 10 now.
 
Quote from that video (10:26) that made me laugh out loud: "Is the TRX still relevant in the RHO world?" I'm sorry numbnuts...the RHO is living in the TRX world. Without the TRX, the RHO wouldn't exist.
Lmao. Go read the RHO forum, there’s some comedy over there. I saw some posts the other day talking about how the GYs “were made specifically for the RHO” 😂😂. Nah bruh, those were made for the TRX and you got the hand-me-downs 🤣
