    Because lack of traction sucks. People have been complaining for over two decades now about how the power levels keep going up in the cars but they can't put a big enough tire out back nor had a capable AWD system that would fit. Smoking tires at launch wastes time, gas & makes you slower...

    Even being able to disable it (which you have to do every time you start it up again) electronically, the hardware is still there.

    So far the common bitches I've seen on test reviews: 1. How tall the car is....it is tall, especially compared to it's predecessors. Along with that is the shallow floor, because the platform was designed to be an EV as well so there had to be room for the battery pack underneath. Apparently...

    It is, but the platform was designed for both EV and gas engine. They ended the EV because it was absolute shite (they literally brick themselves). For 2026 (for which the model year began approximately Oct last year) they released them with the new inline 6 turbo hurricane engines in both...

    Well.....so you may not realize it but all the 06-23 4 door run actually took styling cues from the old ones, some overt and others subtle. The '24 & newer (such it is) looks like a modern interpretation of a '68 up front and a '69-'70 out back. However I think you all may be more intrigued by...

    It's the Redeye/Demon engine. In the Redeye cars it was 797 hp, 808/840 hp (pump/race gas) in the 2018 Demon. Truck/SUV based engines are almost always rated a tad less due to the exhaust manifold situation. The earlier TRX was only rated at 702 hp when the cars were running 717 with the...

    Don't think anyone has ever decided to do that to their $100k truck lol. I do like that they decided to go with the Redeye/Demon engine this time out. Other than the giant ass screen, I like the interior; actually has a console shifter and not a dial:

    Not so much reinventing as correcting an error. Thanks to Tavares (before he was forced to resign) the hellcat was killed off so they lower powered the TRX with the new 6 banger turbo and called it the RHO....most were not happy about it. It wasn't like TRX's were languishing in dealer lots...

    Forgot the suspension....it was always a purpose built off roader. Needed to kill the raptor.....ya know, the truck that bends when off-roaded lol: They won't factory build a street truck because, well street truck mania is pretty much dead. Streetwise it shifted to SUV's, hence the birth...

    What looks better on these trucks ? 20's or 22's ?

    The 22's were chosen for the balance of ride and handling. 20's will give you more sidewall and a better ride (and cheaper tires) but it won't handle as well as it did.

    Sweet Baby Jesus!

    Looks clean. Good candidate for a ZF 8sp swap.

    New guy!

    Nope. Later year Chrysler 300 used a horizontal dial (I believe newer Grand Cherokees do as well): In fact I think this dial would be better to use since it doesn't have any 4wd/awd pieces to it and will use the same plug as the car style t-handle.

    Those 12' skeletons have really taken off in the past few years....I've seen some interesting year round use. Someone in my neighborhood has one up year round and dresses it accordingly.

    Grille Overslam Bumpers

    If anyone needs a set of them in the future, I put a set on my old truck right before it was taken off the road. Maybe a couple thousand miles on them at most.
