Now that is interesting. Our sales sticker in Michigan showed different MPG numbers.

Getty Adventures just tested the Rebel with the SO 3.0L on his towing loop. The fact that around town and expecially towing this thing gets significantly worse MPG than the 6.2 from GM is just odd to me. I know the ecoboost also gets worse MPG but as a consumer I just don't get the desire to go TT 6cyl. I don't see the benefit from the consumers perspective.

Did he release a video talking about regular MPG? I saw his towing video and his engine breakdown one, but nothing that discusses the unloaded MPG for the truck.

I don’t think the 8 speed with the 3.92 rear end is going to be able to compete. Based on my brief experience, that is slightly better than normal.
BTW - I stopped at the dealer the other day and a guy was about to leave in his loaded, Black RHO. That truck may lack the violent rumble of the TRX, but it has 100% of the presence. I think they are going to sell a lot of those.
This is the first story I've seen with one on a dealer lot: https://moparinsiders.com/twin-turbo-ram-1500-rho-arrives-on-dealer-lots/

"the Ram 1500 RHO offers the best horsepower per dollar ($129.60 per HP) in its class, making it the go-to choice for drivers seeking power, efficiency, and off-road capability."
I didn't read further than that lol

That's the standard line from Ram PR.

Ouch, makes a power wagon seem reasonable. That's an accomplishment by itself.
Dealer told me about this over the weekend and I see now the tracker is updated. Let's GO!! I'm told the estimated delivery date is wrong and I should have it by year end.

I’m practically going nuts, and it isn’t my truck. I sure hope you get it by year end, I’m looking forward to your articles and videos on it. The Ram interior is excellent. The SO Hurricane is a stunner. I can only imagine what the HO will be like.

Tim, very curious to see this new truck, the payload (Hmm?) and how you use it. Since it will get lots of views, I hope it doesn't give you any problems. I still love both of our Ram's (2022/2014). Now that I also have the 2024 Jeep 392, not sure if I'd consider the new RHO for towing our camper and off-road adventures.
When we go to places like Utah and such, I'd be pulling the camper with the 2022 Ram 1500 (the truck I stopped at your house to show you). Plus, I'd have my wife or one of my son's drive the 392 for us to explore and go off-road with. Both big trips this year the Ram did great off-road in Big Bend National Park and Moab. (Trips before the 392 purchase...actually the Moab trip prompted the 392 buy.)
Would the RHO have been more fun in both of those place, probably but I feel like right now the 2022 1500 spec'd as it is, does a really good job all around. Curious to see if the RHO could be that good "all-around" truck. Take care!
Definitely going to tow with it and play around with it. It is a big toy.
Truck is built, invoice has been issued and I'm hoping it gets on a transport today. It looks very likely I'll have it right after Christmas following the same pattern as all the rest of the truck purchases.
Nah, I need some running boards instead. Mopar wants $2k for their off-road running boards. They are NUTS!
I'd have to get the powered ones.
Really glad I'm not paying sticker. That's a bit outrageous.Yep, looks like the window sticker is good. Nice!View attachment 801
