Long time Raptor fan here but it looks like Dodge is finally stepping up and taking the crown in the 6cyl Baja truck market. This truck looks better in almost every way than the 6cyl Raptor, and at a lower price. This is great news as there's finally some competition and it will force Ford to step up. The only question will be reliability and durability of the Dodge electronics and transmission. The inline twin turbo 6cyl in the Dodge is looking really nice. 0-60 in 4.6 seconds for a Baja truck is insane. I can't wait to see the head to head comparisons of the V6 raptor and this new Dodge RAM RHO:

We’ll see. When it comes to hammering in Baja, Mopar needs to step it up.
The fact they aren't calling it the RAM ROD takes it down like 3 notches.
You’d have to be dumb to purchase a Chrysler/Dodge/Ram product. Product reliability? Jaguar has better build quality……..

Pretty happy so far with our 2021Grand Cherokee. And it's been through being written off and rebuilt again. Will admit to being leery of Chrysler products beforehand, but this is the first hands on experience I've had. (Will keep knocking on wood...)
I had really bad luck with the last 2 Rams I had. Went back to Toyota and got a Tacoma.
I used to be only Chevy trucks. The last one I bought was horrible.
Had 3 fords in a row. Had pretty good luck with them. Tried a Ram 2500 this time and after a year and 41k miles so far it’s been great.
I’ve not had a Toyota truck since my 1983. Not against them, but I wanted a 3/4 t this time. Everybody I know that has a Tundra likes them, but they get terrible mileage.
Back in the day, Dodge with Walker Evans, et al. used to rule Baja, Riverside, etc.
How so, specifically? I'm on my 3rd Ram 1500 and never had a major repair. I had a 2nd gen that had a slipping transmission at highway speeds and 3 shops told me I needed a rebuild. I ended up troubleshooting it to a $15 sensor. I got rid of my 3rd gen with almost 200k miles on it, original engine/trans and looked close to showroom.
Go through ant TIPM's?
No, had to replace two O2 sensors in my 04 (over 12 years) and did have my fuel level sending unit bust on my 2017. That would be considered major for most I guess? I dropped the tank myself and did the job which cost me a few hours and 80 bucks or so.
