Few pictures. I'll get more tomorrow.

Last picture is the honest to God fortune cookie I opened after lunch randomly, didn't eat Chinese food, which I think is a big factor on why I purchased!!! :crazy:

It looks low because it has air suspension and it's in "in and out" mode, easy to get in and out.

Man I really like the looks of the rebels inside and out. Just a great mix of bad A $$, sportiness and luxury blended together perfectly IMO. Sick truck brotha

usaf2006.... that is awesome! I'm so glad it worked out for you. That is one sharp truck!

I was thinking after my last post... "give it a few days"..."maybe toward the end of the month". I figured they had some wiggle room and to see them just shut you down so blatantly like that was a bit disheartening.

Then to get the call the next day...must have been a great feeling. I have no doubt you'll be very happy with the Rebel trim.

Congrats again!

Thanks Man! The whole family is super excited to have it. Can't wait to drive it across country!

Sorry Transam, no lift here. She's perfect as it is!

I'll be driving mine across country also...2x per year (from Minnesota).

Every February I alternate (yearly) between seeing my parents in Palm Springs California and my sister in Fort Myers Florida. Sooo....next February its California! Whenever I visit my sister I also take a 3-4 day extra trip to Key West. I've driven all the way to Key West 2x now...can't wait for the next time.

Me and the ladyfriend just got back in late July from a west coast National Park trip...South Dakota, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington and Montana. The Durango R/T was great...but it gets a bit small with suitcases, camera cases, everything else. 10 days after I got back....decided on the Rebel. That was about 3 weeks ago. Here I am! Couldn't be happier!

Next summers trip is Minnesota to Maine. Can't wait to get the Rebel on the road!

Congrats again...if you do your cross country trip before I do...post up your thoughts and some pics!

Will do! What kind of mileage do you see on the interstate?

On my Durango R/T that I just traded I would get 19-22mpg. I bought it new and had 44500 on it after a trip out west last month.

I only have 450 miles on the Rebel...just bought it 08-01-2017. I'm seeing 14-16mpg so far but thats alot of in town miles.

If I can get 19-20mpg on long trips with the Rebel I'll be happy. Its not even close to being broken in yet...so we'll see. I'm sure it'll get at least a little better.

I only put about 5K miles on per year, regular driving, then (2) 5K trips = 15000 miles per year. I will probably only fill up the tank (32 gallon) once every 3-4 weeks during the year...then heavy use of course during my trips.

As long as I can get 15 in town and 19-20 on the highway I'll be happy. You're going to love the air suspension on the highway...drops down to "AERO" mode...supposed to help with mileage (a bit).

Have any questions on mods or anything let me know...already done a bunch of things to my Rebel and have a few more things planned. Carven Exhaust arrives Tuesday and I'm ordering new speakers to install soon.

This forum and another one I post on (Rebel specific) have been great for info!

Thanks! For now I only plan on debadging a bit, getting soft tri fold tonneau cover, and maybe a short black antenna. In the future, I might get a Pedal Commander, and maybe either a CAI, or ported throttle body. But those are way down the line.

My Rebel doesn’t have the red trim on the dash or seats. I have all black interior without the “black package” since I have normal Rebel wheels and silver brush guard.

Just wanted to toss that out there as well
