I personally like the gen1 looks over the gen2. Bought RTX new in ‘08 for $27000. Have 144,000 miles on it now and the only thing besides normal maintenance being done on it was a very light leak on the main seal. Fuel mileage isn’t the greatest. 15 around town; 22 at 60 mph on the freeway, 10-12 pulling the travel trailer. It has pulled a 21 foot travel trailer for about 30,000 miles (wet weight 4200 to 4600). It has gone (and is still going) countless miles on mountain, logging and skid roads. There have been times I would’ve loved a low-range but have been able to make do without. Lack of ground clearance has been a bigger issue for me. Another 3, or even 2 inches would be a huge help but on the gen1 that would require cutting the fenders and I won’t do that, so I’ll live with what I’ve got. I’ve been high centered with this RL but never just stuck. It’s amazing what it will muddle through, mud or snow. I’m 73 years young and I’ve had Fords, Chevies, Jimmies and Nissans but this RL is by far the most versatile, handiest vehicle I’ve ever owned.

This vehicle has everything that I needed and wanted and has plenty of leg room too. Very sturdy and manageable. Great on gas very stylish.

Looked at all the trucks on the market, after 2 years of research, I drove the RL, and compared it to the others. I decided on the RL. It is comfortable, handles nicely, does well in the snow.Gas mileage is so so.Holds all my gear. I like the 1st gen body style as opposed to the 2nd gen.
