I am picking up my Granite Grey Ram Rebel tomorrow. I am getting out of my lease of my 2014 big horn. I am just putting a lot of miles on it. Anyone out there buy one yet? How is it compared to other rams? I also am wondering about max towing and payload. I am getting a 5.7 3.92 8-speed. I currently have a 3.21 Hemi and I am wondering if I will notice a MPG drop. Thanks!

I got an incredible deal when I originally leased it. They are giving me 30k trade-in which I think is very good. My truck is a 14 big horn with a 45k sticker. Has 12k miles. I owe 31k on the truck, so with a tax credit I am not doing too bad. I have only owned the truck for about 8 months. I also did not put anything down when I leased. I have a 15k a year lease

I will get some pictures up of it tomorrow or tuesday. Sticker price was $50,200. I do not have the ram boxes, since I need the cargo room in the bed. They are selling it to me for $41,2xx

Here are some pictures I took on the dealer lot. Not sure what to think on the granite but it will match my charger whenever it comes in.

You sure got on it fast, the first ones only arrived at dealerships in the last couple days here.

I saw it online the day they got it. I called the next day, went up there and put a deposit on it. This is the only color I would buy in it because it will match my hellcat:) (when it comes in, if ever). Plus I am not too fond of the "RAM" lettering on the rear gate and I think it looks the best with the little contrast of the granite and the black

Congrats, enjoy it.

As to my opinion.... for that price I rather get a 2500.

In the pics is the air ride in entry/exit mode? Seems to be squatting pretty good. Don't all rebels have the air ride option? Thought I read that somewhere.

I thought that, but for me this is my work vehicle and my commuter. I carry a lot with it, but nothing more than a 6k boat. I have a small parts business and carry a lot of small parts in the bed like radios, Audio, and things like that. However nothing really heavy. I have to put this truck in the parking garage well I am at school, and a 2500 would just be too big. Plus I love the air suspension, and it makes it easier to load the bed.

That was in entry and exit mode. All Rebels I believe have air suspension.

The crack smoker dealer in my area wants $63,125 for their Rebel, yeah $10k over MSRP. I told them if they could find some fool willing to pay that more power to them.

Please tell me that not all 2016 grilles will have that godawful design. I haven't purchased my R/T yet, but that grille (and tailgate) are deal-breakers for me.
