Does RAM offer an event like Ford Raptor Assault when you buy a brand new TRX?

My dad was a young industrial engineer in the early 1970's working for a bicycle manufacturer (actually AMF, who owned Harley Davidson at the time). His boss tasked him with solving some small issue. He did his research and proudly presented to the boss a simple solution which would only cost something like 6 cents per bicycle. His boss responded with disdain and told him to do his job and find a way to solve the problem that would save 6 cents per bicycle.

That's how it is in manufacturing and how little things like glove box lights disappear.
I toured Indian Motorcycles before it was purchased by Polaris - and had been owned by an English conglomerate that infamously sought famous namesakes (like RIVAS yachts/etc) and bring them back to life and scale to sell. Bikes were hand built in a U-shaped assembly by two man crews. At the time they were working on the 'Scout' prototype. Staff included some former HD Screaming Eagle focused employees. They mentioned similar re: engine assembly to chrome finishes. In some cases minimally more $ but the end result 'they felt' offered more value. Unfortunately for many consumers this 'value' didn't have much tangible appeal vs. $ the increased cost... or at least what corporate HD internally told them.

PS: Raptor Assault course in Utah was excellent. I was among the very early Gen2 owners who attended. Regardless of skills + experience - the day's itinerary culminating in requested participant feedback (as most of us owned multiple Raptors including a prior Gen1). <- Although my request for HUD was apparently ignored LOL.
 
Why do you need a paper manual? It's available in .pdf format. You can access it on your phone, tablet, or computer. Ever since manufacturers started offering electronic manuals, I haven't touched my paper manuals.
Yes, I know. I have all versions of pdf. But hey, I like to have stuffs, look my Manual and see a TRX and not a crap Ram 1500. Buy now serious, I’m kidding. I just asked about the event just I’m case I won’t miss it. I was disappointed about the owners manual, but it is what it is.

M 3 years old daughter has gave me what RAM couldn’t! 😅😂

I want things on paper, not have to download and view them on my phone. I don't have a tablet, and I don't keep my computer in my truck.

Of course, I'm old in both body an mind, so I can't keep up with the hip ways you young whippersnappers do things anymore. I'm one of the few who is glad he has the old dash in his truck instead of the digital dash. Anybody else remember having a rotary phone with a real bell inside?

I'm old too but I like everything paperless. I also like technology and prefer everything I own to be digital vs analog.

I remember rotary phones and how painfully slow it was to dial 1+ area code + a 7 digit number. 🤣 I can't imagine going back to those days.

Remember trying to be caller #9 with a rotary phone? I never won a damn thing on the radio!
 
I lean towards paperless. But glad there was a supplemental trx paper manual. Another nod for the truck going extinct.
Rotary phone only needed to dial the last 4 numbers in my town. Needed the whole number for "long distance" though $$$ 🤑
