First video on many for new Ram 1500 RHO

[Ctech-Review]

Great Video Tim, I hope that ppf helped with some protection the trip home. We got lucky and missed that cold weather!

Damn right it was!!!

How did yours do for fuel mileage?

Terrible. The overall trip shows 11. However, I didn’t remember to reset it for my driving. I don’t know what they did for the first 60 miles. I’m planning to do a real mpg report when I drive the 900 miles home on Friday.

Man I do love it when my co-workers like @Aratliff complain about it being cold down there LOL.
It does happen sometimes though.

STILLLLLL COLD....NOTHING CHANGED LOL

I hope yours gets better...my next two videos for MPGs are not to high! I am at almost 1500 miles now.

Honestly, I don't really care. This truck is so much damn fun and I didn't buy it for MPG.

100% agreed, this thing is fun! More like a sport truck than an off road truck.

I'm going to struggle going home to keep my foot off the gas pedal!

 

[testerdahl]

Speaking of going home. XPEL called and they are going to be pulling a late shift to get my truck done. Big snow storm coming through Dallas and up to Oklahoma. I'm picking my truck up maybe at 8 am if all goes well. I need to do the undercarriage video then I'm coming back to the hotel and getting the hell on the road. I'm thinking Amarillo then up through Colorado to bypass the storm. With any luck I'll be home by 11 pm. There might be a few monster energies involved who knows. Wish me luck. Tomorrow is going to be a hammer down situation.

Yeah, yeah break in and all that. I want my bed. This Holiday Inn bed is jacking up my shoulders and my back. Home sure sounds better than another night in a hotel.

Any comments about the pedal lag, if any? The cummins trucks are notorious for it... hopefully the RHO doesn't suffer the same?

 

[Ctech-Review]

haha I just came from my 19 cummins...a ton of Lag...nothing like that with the RHO!

 

[testerdahl]

Well, poop. I made it 100 miles. The traffic is backed up and we started going 20 mph. I threw in the towel after seeing a semi jack knife under an overpass closing the southbound. Then, I saw a state patrol car almost spin out.

Also, there's a storm rolling through southern Nebraska. Even if I could make it through Oklahoma today, I can't make it home. I'm in Ardmore south of OKC.

Video coming as soon as I can. Really interesting MPGs! There's your teaser.

How is snow mode treating you?

 

[testerdahl]

This was a hell of a day. Seriously. One hell of a day. I don't throw in the towel lightly.

I hear you, but if it doesn't get any better mileage than a TRX, wondering if it's worth it to find a very low mileage used one?? I drive about an hour each day and the accountant in me concluded that 14-15 mpg was ok but that 10 or 11 wasn't . . .

valid point.

Picking up today and this might turn into my day as well. Thanks for the content.
