Any TRX owner actually driven the RHO?

Another unwritten and obvious rule is that you wouldn’t take a legend like the Mustang and turn it into a four door sedan, yet here we are:

Is anyone buying this “Mustang”?

I will be at SEMA for three days ...going to head to the RAM booth when the show opens on Tuesday.

For years it's been anti-climatic ...hoping for an interesting show. Beyond Stellantis products, Ford is rumored to have a Ford Excursion concept displayed/etc.
 
I test drove one last week, very nice truck, massaging seats are cool, the one i drove was fully loaded and it moved good too, couldn't get over the sound(no V8) and of course not as quick, but still felt pretty decent, and quick, but again couldn't get over the exhaust note.
 
The biggest miastake in releasing RHO was keeping the look of the most badass and exclusive truck ever made, the TRX (don't call its design different, nobody else than a TRX owner will recognize). Nobody would even care to discuss the V6 it has if they made it look like a Rebel or something else. Now it is laughable. You just don't do that, the unwritten but obvious rule in automotives.
Dodge/Ram is notorious for doing this. They threw a Hellcat hood on a V6 Challenger, and a Widebody on a Scat Pack. It’s about sales.
 
A friend has one and I hear it often. The exhaust note is as bad as everyone says it is. It might actually be better to put quiet mufflers on the thing. Otherwise, it's a nice truck and I'd prefer a RHO over an Ecoboost Raptor.
