For the April-May Orders. Ram Contact info

[MattH89]

**Update**..

Here is what I got back from Tim (Pickup truck + SUV talk)

"Hey Joe, just a quick update on this. I was at event this week and Tim Kuniskis was there. He is the new Ram CEO that used to be the old Ram CEO. Anyway, he hasn't gotten his RHO either and he ordered it back in April/May. He was pretty fired up on the delay and plans to get after the plants to get production going much faster. Just thought I'd pass it along."

I'm glad he did talk to him about the delays and it is surprising that Tim K. didn't get his either. The good part, Tim K. was a victim of these delays and I hope he get this fixed.

Thanks to @testerdahl.

Now we've just gotta hope his cats explode too. Need to get a fix on the books for that

Update 12-11
Brant emailed me back this morning, letting me know my truck has entered production. And thanking me for my patience. Tracker reflects that. Now hopefully they are paying attention to others April-May orders as well.

I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. With a couple cases that we know of, and people backing out of their truck orders. I think Ram will be wanting to “rectify” this situation/problem quickly. One would hope anyways.

I emailed him. No reply. You must be special.

I get silence from him.

Me too. Lol.

Still crickets for me too and no updates on the tracker.

No return email from him but my truck moved to D1 on the tracker and the sales manager from my local store called and said its in production now. Happy to be moving forward and looking forward to getting my RHO. So if he had a hand in it Thank You .. Maybe Tim has already started making calls to get it moving along..

Complete BS, I am sick of seeing all these April 26th orders get scheduled while my April 25th Mark Dodge order sits unscheduled ... Seriously though, very very good news!

With all these issues between misfires, loose wiring, and melted cats, I want truck #500, not #200. I am happy waiting a bit.

Ha Ha if it makes you feel better I did actually order on the 25th but it didn't go thru until the 26th ..

Not worried about any issues as my local service department has been awesome to deal with. All new vehicles has some issues. Ford Raptor with cam phasers, Chevy with transmission problems, Etc . With the new age of release and develop its bound to happen.

The one thing I learned is to make friends with your service departments and keep a warranty on it. LOL

And yet every V8 worshiper will tell you Tim Kuniskis had nothing to do with the Hurricane or the RHO, lmao he's the one who introduced the new lineup!

Agree. He probably had his hands tied on moving to the Hurricane 6 though, I remember seeing them testing the early RHO's (unnamed at the time) with a larger 7.0 liter Hemi that they had code named the 'Banshee'. I believe that got scrapped by Stellantis/Tavares. I would have LOVED a 7.0 Hemi in it - or even the 6.4 that they have in the Wrangler 392 Rubicon...

I can definitely see that 7.0 liter on a limited quantity of 2026 V8 TRXs

Tim Kuniskis even has an RHO on order, per what Tim Esterdahl told @Joe86 so he must like it enough to own one.

And maybe live with it as a daily to improve on the next generation RHO/TRX trucks

They went down this road way before RHO as an entry level TRX (no 6.2SC) or maybe even a street version of the TRX with naturally aspirated 7.0. Unfortunately it died. Would have been awesome truck and another money-maker for them.

Oh I’m sure he’s got some big plans!

Yep, I think it was back in 2018 or 2019 when they started toying with something that would have slotted between the Rebel and TRX. I was really hopeful but I think it was some time around late 2021 when it was killed for the 2nd and final time. I sure would love a big NA Hemi as an option...

I truly believe that the engine design is good but Carlos cheaped out on some parts, but overall it's really a good truck.

I thought that dude from YT "TK garage " was a joke, but tbh, his sources are credible and he mentioned things that actually happened. I bring him up because he mentioned how Stellantis cheaped on some parts of the engine and harness.

Yeah. I could never understand why they didn’t offer the 392 as an option between the 5.7 and the Hellcat, just like Jeep did with the Grand Cherokee. I would have thought they’d sell like hotcakes.
