End of Lease - ugh

My local dealer just got a 2021 rebel on the lot, so called...- chargedup78

End of Lease - ugh
Last payment is September. The area dealerships are calling/texting/e-mailing daily wanting the truck. There is NO inventory on the lots. The truck is worth a LOT over my residual. I only have 18,000 miles. I guess orders are back open, but honestly I'm not feeling purchasing anything built...- chargedup78

2019+ Holding Value extremely well
I'm sure I can't be the only one checking the values of our trucks on edmunds/nada/blue book etc. I can't believe what the claimed value is. Has anyone traded recently and experienced dealers giving you anywhere close to the estimated value? My lease is up soon and honestly if the truck will...- chargedup78

Hail Damage
I'm waiting on a call back from Ally, the local dealer had no comment on the issue. I don't believe my insurance is trying to scam the leasing company, nor am I. Their point was storm season has just begun, don't get it fixed if you don't have to because chances are high it will see hail...- chargedup78

Hail Damage
So, got about 23 dime size dents between the hood and roof. None visible anywhere else. Insurance cut a check but advised not getting it fixed. Truck is a lease thru Ally Auto - ive read thru the policy, and unless im missing it does this damage not require repair? They discuss...- chargedup78

RAM OUT SELLS CHEVROLET FOR 2019
GM just got destroyed in the latest Consumer Reports. Whether you take their findings to heart or not, a lot of folks do, and the silverado/sierra/colorado/canyon were all given abysmal numbers in the latest edition. The F-150 also got ripped apart and not recommended. RAM hasn't taken too...- chargedup78

Impressive MPG on vacation trip
I have a '19 Rebel with E-torque. We just put 342 miles between us and home and the truck said I still had over 100 miles left of range. Filled up and did the math - used around 17.5 gallons, giving an average mpg of 19.6. For a truck this size and these tires I was pleasantly surprised. The...- chargedup78

My 2019 1500 Limited has 1000 miles and already in the shop for repairs
Don't worry, wait until the recalls hit ya'. Mine's already had 2 recalls, and several software updates. Just the way it is with a new model. I absolutely love the truck though, and the dealer is only 5 miles away. No complaints- chargedup78

Buying a Rebel, input from owners wanted

Had my first problem with my 2019 Rebel
Im in the same boat - first problem with my '19 Rebel yesterday night. Here in Northern IL we had a mini blizzard yesterday. I love driving in fresh powder so the lil lady and I went into town for dinner. No issues there, but when we got back in the truck my backup camera was a blue screen...- chargedup78

POWER STEERING FAILURE
Sorry for your troubles but hopefully they got you fixed and you'll find enjoyment in the truck for the remaining days you have it. No one is going to blame you for having a bad taste in your mouth after the experiences you've had. I'd be lying if I said I didn't lose my cool with some vehicle...- chargedup78

POWER STEERING FAILURE
i would demand they take one out of a truck on the lot and try it to make sure that fixes the problem. What dealerships get away with is amazing. I'm in the world of IT, if I made users wait as long for fixes I'd be drug out in the street and shot- chargedup78

Help me make the choice to move from my 2017 Ford XLT to a Laramie 4x4
Never owned a Ford but I came from a '06 vortec silverado that averaged 9mpg no matter what and my '19 Rebel is averaging 16 in town and I got 19 on the highway the other day at 75mph. Considering the tires on this beast I was impressed. I imagine the laramie with all seasons would do better.- chargedup78

Enough Yap - I let the $ do the talking
Well a little update since its been a few weeks. I've got almost 800 miles on it, and you should know I only have a 1.5 mile commute to work, so I've really been enjoying the truck ;) Lots of unnecessary road trips. My only complaint thus far is a rattle from the sun roof when the shade is...- chargedup78
