RHO for Tim

Order update! My truck moved into production and I have an estimated ship date (heavy on the estimated) for 10/1. Hoping by the end of October I can pick it up.

Also, a viewer pointed out the fact I ordered this several months ago and thought that was way too long. I thought it was about average for my recent truck purchases. Thougths?

I wouldn't get married to that build date just yet.... it's been VERY slow going so far. Hoping we'll have more info on pacing over the next few weeks :)

Oh I've been covering the drama going on at Stellantis. I'm still on the by end of December thinking personally. Hopeful by end of October.

In regards to the orders & timing yes almost 400 orders placed. 20% have build dates for September already (scheduled Job #1 for RHO is now listed as 9/9/24). Judging timing on this still extremely difficult because orders have been open since 4/25, production start 9/9, but RAM does not build them in order of receiving nor in accordance with any sort of dealer allocation. Ram builds the trucks in the way that is most convenient for RAM. If you were ordering in September I would be prepared to received your RHO any time between December - January, with Nov/Feb also being outlier possibilities.

I can confirm the above.. I placed my RHO order on 9/11 and it has already moved to scheduled as of 9/16, the dealership said production should start around the 1st week of Oct. Was not expecting to move through the process this fast, as I was originally told not to expect it until closer to Feb/March.

Are you flying out there to pick it up?

Video gold!. First impressions, MPG, comfort, interior etc. Hit it all and then reference back to it in future videos.

I'm following the same pattern I did for the other three trucks. A new wrinkle may include a stop in Lubbock, Texas to compare against a built Dodge race truck. Working out these details as I type this.

Premium fuel, nope. 540 HP for a half ton is completely unnecessary. Not a daily driver or work truck IMO, but just sort of a midlife crisis toy. The good news is the videos should draw lots of clicks which makes your world go round. 👍 How many forum folks out there are going to spend close to 90K$ for a half ton RAM? 🤔 I remember how excited you were when you got your new Tundra but we know how that turned out. Sorry this is somewhat negative but maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

Love the video.. So how does the engine sound when in Baja mode? Ik it's not the TRX but similar to the base Raptor?

I wish I could have heard the exhaust note. The two trucks we were in had a demo mode setup and wouldn't start. The trucks on the track were going so slowly, you couldn't hear anything and putting any audio out would have been a disservice to the truck. That's why I put audio over the driving portion.

I asked a few times to start one up and it just didn't happen. Then, I had to run off to another press conference. Soon though I'll get the exhaust note on camera.
