I had the same thoughts when I was looking at buying my truck about a year ago. Get a decked out Rebel or get a TRX with Level 1. The dealer I went with (Glenn CDJR in KY) was offering 4% below invoice on both at the time. I decided on the Rebel for a few reasons listed below:
1. The Level 1 TRX was missing some of my must have options. I don't recall exactly which ones but I figured I should get everything I want when I am paying so much.
2. The increased gas cost. On the highway I can get about 17mpg with my Rebel. TRX seems to be around 8mpg which is a big difference.
3. The Rebel offers the GT package which offers a lot of the options of the TRX, paddle shifters, console gear shift, catback and CAI. I got the GT package mainly for ventilated seats but I got to admit - it sounds amazing. I have gotten many compliments that my truck sounds awesome and that is from the factory.
4. Insurance costs - the TRX was quite a bit more to insure than the Rebel.
All in all I don't regret my decision at all. The Rebel G/T is a great package and while prices have gone up more (I got mine for 63K) I think it is still a lot of truck that looks and sounds great. I love driving it and I occasionally travel for work. Couldn't ask for a better truck. If you have any questions let me know and I will be happy to answer or send pics on the G/T.
