Yes. Sure. A mule...

In all fairness, a mule makes more enjoyable sounds than this.

You’re into some weird shit. Probably have a few sets of Velcro gloves for the sheep too.

Remembering your trip to a Tijuana strip bar donkey show?

This is the She-RX?

Got rid of my 2020 Raptor because I couldn't stand the exhaust sound which I thought would grow on me when I bought it. So I learned my lesson, no 6 cylinder for me in an oversized, bad ass truck.

The exhaust didn’t bother me on my 2020 Raptor. It was the fake engine sound piped into the cab. Just stop!

No, I knew what the actual exhaust sounded like outside the truck, I thought it was embarrassing. No issue with that on the TRX.

I didn’t love the exhaust, but it didn’t bother me. Definitely not on par with the TRX.

Good friend of mine had a Gen2 and now a Gen 3 Raptor. He really likes the sound of the exhaust so to each his own. (although he admits to liking the the TRX exhaust sound more

). For me the exhaust sound on the Raptor was something I just couldn't live with so I just wouldn't have a Raptor or a TRX with a 6 cylinder just because of the exhaust note. Now the 6 cylinder in my BMW or the one in my wife's Supra sounds just fine to me coming out of a sports car. We all have different priorities.

I really liked the Gen 2 Raptor I had for 5 years but always felt the exhaust note was somewhat wimpy sounding compared to the look of the truck. After I parted with the Raptor and got the TRX I never looked back. The exhaust note is part of the driving experience for me.

If I have to have a 6 cylinder, make it a Cummins.

This the only correct answer.

If I have to go back to a v6 I will be in an RS5 like I have

The mule has the hood scoop, I thought it was said it would be gone in 2025's?
Must be an awesome view opening the hood of a TRX and seeing a plugged fake hood scoop and a gorgeous powerful Wagoneer V6 engine bay.
Will Ram leave the 5" exhaust tips too?
What a way to kill the truck.

That's what a source told me when they seen it. Could be they used a 2024 as a testing mule, could be saving the 2025 hoods for the media TRX's. I got another source I'm going ask for confirmation that also has rock solid info. I have a video coming out today and you'll notice the mule also has 2024 taillights and not the newer ones spotted on a different mule

KnightMare · Oct 7, 2023

Video goes live at Noon EST, then you'll be able to hear the 2025 Mule clips. I have 7 clips of the future

Glad i got mine.. Jeez thats bad

The clip of the challenger with the i6 at roadkill nights sounded like one of those subarus with a soda can muffler you hear racing around at 2am

I know it's not a popular opinion but we seriously considered a Grand Wagoneer with the I6TT, it's a great engine that's moves that behemoth of an SUV very fast with plenty of power. I'd be happy to buy a Jeep GC or Wrangler SRT with the I6TT. If they end up pairing it with 300hp+ dual motor electrification, the EVRX will be amazing. It's idiotic though to drop 200HP off the current offering and try to pass it off as a TRX... not because it's a bad engine but just because it'll no longer be the Apex Predator it was designed to be.

My thought was they would put the 392 in it for 2024. That way they would have both, even if it was a single year. If they had to drop the 6.2 for 2025MY, there is still a Hemi in one people would buy. I would do like you said but save the hurricane for a hybrid setup. If you going to sacrifice sound, at least make the thing WAY more faster

Man knightmare I hope you're wrong... maybe we'll get lucky and what they're doing is testing a regular Raptor/Ram 6 cylinder to 6 cylinder truck, and then they'll surprise everybody with a RE R competitor... at least that helps me sleep better...
