RHO range and MPG

[Banger]

Ahh I see. All things tech and equipment being the same if the TRX was updated would you guys still get the RHO?

Probably, because similarly appointed TRX would be $120k-$130k. Look at Final Edition prices on the 2024 TRX's. Then add a bit more for all of the tech and updates.
Mine is a daily driver, so the additional cost would still keep my at the RHO.

Also, the quietness of the RHO is so much better for fatigue resistance. The soundtrack is amazing w the TRX. But you feel it at the end of the drive. I can drive my Mercedes or Mazda for hours without issue. My Mustang…I can do it too but I’m not feeling the same by any measure.

Just my 2 cents.

No because that would be significantly more than I'm willing to pay for a vehicle.

Did my first decent length driving today. Back roads and through towns (so averaging 55-60mph with some periods of stop and go 25mph) just over 100 miles the computer calculated the trip at exactly 15.0 MPG. Total odometer reading for me right now is 202 miles.

Ambient temps were 25°F, but this was the original gas from Mark Dodge so not winter gas.

What are you getting hand calc vs truck puter? I'm seeing slightly over 1 mpg less with hand calc?

I'll keep you posted. I haven't had to put any fuel in and want to start my calcs at that point.

After truck gets used to you it will be a lot closer or so it was with my previous 3 rams. Don't remember exactly how close all were but my last one was always only around 0.3 off.

We are only averaging 11.3 since purchase according to the onboard guesstimater but we do mostly city driving.

I'll have to wait until I can actually keep my foot out of the thing. Too early to have enough self-control to stay out of the boost.

This thread helped a lot. Like everyone said, don't buy this truck if you're worried about MPG. I had Koons order me a 2500 Cummins now instead so my RHO will be available when it comes in shortly.
