Misfiring after 475 miles

[RHORam]

I have been with RAM for over 20 years now and owned many of their trucks. Mainly due to the fact that I get tired of vehicles way too fast lol. I went thru similar patterns with the HEMI line up in the beginning and that went on to be a leading engine/powertrain for a long time. Not saying it is a perfect way of thinking to expect failures, but with these vehicles having so much tech it is bound to happen. RAM has always stood by their products, at least for me they have. That is the one thing that makes investing in this expensive truck easier to bare. Everyone has had their horror experiences with brands along the way. One thing that sets them apart is being there to solve a problem and not just ignoring you/pushing you away. I can almost guarantee they had parts/components that had issues and delayed this launch.

My Ram experience 0 and 2.....

I bought a new 2022 Ram Rebel GT, it had a noticeable gas pedal hesitation (without coding), the dealership said it was my driving ...."BS". Then the truck progressed into stalling 10 times in busy traffic, throwing codes, which they also could not cure.

Thru it all, I spent way too much time at the dealership service center and finally had to "Lemon Law" the truck.

Although I enjoyed the truck, I could not live with unexpected stalling so I ordered an RHO May 9 which still today is in "D" status. After 6 months of not having a vehicle I give up on the RHO and bought new alternatives (Honda Ridgeline Trailsport and BMW Z4 M40i).

I hope the RHO problems that I am seeing online are just short term startup issues and can be cured in a timely manner with better luck than I had with my Rebel or my RHO order.

Life is good now.....

PS....what I still miss is the sweet sound of the factory Rebel GT catbacks' and the Hemi 5.7 V8

Wait…you wanted an RHO & ended up with a Honda Ridgeline Trailsport?

To each their own. A least you know, it should be reliable.

I was thinking the same thing....went from one side of the spectrum to the complete opposite.

Ridgeline is Unibody frame, right?

Yup...world's apart but now I have a nice pairing!

Thought about what I really need to carry and tow - 2024 Ridgeline has 1500 lb capacity/5000 towing, great resale, 0-60 in 6 seconds / Ram Rebel was 7.3 seconds - (Car & Driver).

And "coup de grace" a 2024 BMW Z4 m40i - Hardtop convertible, "almost 1 g acceleration" 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and handles like a go-cart on steroids

My wife says the Bimmer is the "Other half of my RHO" after the Ridgeline......

Based on Pilot....wider than a Ranger or Tacoma
