2019 Rebel - 1 month review
Trucks are rapidly becoming new minivans... Family movers with a great utility for hauling and towing. RAM is on the right marketing track: wanna sell more trucks - make sure women want to buy it! Hence the creature comfort, self-parking, 360 camera, USB/C everywhere, everything heated &...- mk61hacker

Anyone else Frustrated with Tow Package removing features?
It's one the of the most bone headed decision RAM made during 2019 1500 rollout. The problem for me is that it isn't some simple oversight... I know how these decisions are made at product level. This decision has been discussed at length on many internal meetings and approved by many people...- mk61hacker

Rebel vs. TrailBoss/AT4
I think Ford Raptor and GMC AT4 made the case perfectly. Both lauded as the best offerings in their respective trims. Keep in mind that Raptor and AT4 and Rebel are going to spend 99% of the time on the paved road - and most buyers just want to have a "look" and capability if, by any chance...- mk61hacker

Rebel vs. TrailBoss/AT4
I know that RAM product team is getting the digest from social media and hopefully this will provide another "customer voice"... There's a very strange situation with Rebel when it comes to competition with GM new offerings (TrailBoss and AT4) - let me explain. When I was in the market to pick...- mk61hacker

2019 Rebel - 1 month review
Picked up Granite Crystal Rebel crew cab about a month ago. Have only 600 miles on it (not a daily driver - mostly for getting in and out my boats out of the water in marina). All the options except for Rebel 12 (MSRP $60K). Only mods are bed rug, Bakflip NX4 and Carven Progressive Catback...- mk61hacker

2019 Official Price Thread??
Agree, but I have e-torque and sunroof and air-ride and it's a 3rd car (just for towing our boats). So lease is fine for now. BTW, after having BMWs and MBs for the last 20 years - really impressed with RAM (my 1st american car ever).- mk61hacker

2019 Official Price Thread??
Leased 2019 Rebel. MSRP $60,220. 36 months/10k for $670/month with $1,500 drive off. It was pretty tough to negotiate this deal - no good leases on Rebels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- mk61hacker

Is there a poll on 2019 RAM 1500 initial reliability?
Seeing a steady stream of issues mentioned on this and other forums I just like to see if there is any poll amongst new owners about initial reliability... I suspect with probably close to 50,000 MY 2019 RAM 1500s on the road we just aren't getting a clear picture. Over two major RAM forums...- mk61hacker

2019 Ram Limited-- Problems, dealer cannot be reached
When I purchased my 2016 GLS550 ($110K) I was back at the dealership twice within first 5K miles with various trim squeaks. rattles, backup camera not working. Was annoying but **every** vehicle will have these problems. Especially new "made in usa" from-the-ground-up model, 1st year from the...- mk61hacker

Going for my first service and a laundry list of issues
1st year of an american manufacturer. Nothing new. Most of these problems are fit & finish and initial assembly. Keep in mind that not only 2019 RAM 1500 is brand new platform it is also assembled on a new plant with newly training people... I have limited on order and I fully expect to have...- mk61hacker

New owner - RAM 1500 Limited
Just an update.... GMC dealer emailed me that they got GMC 1500 Denali in stock - and I went ahead and test drove it (that's one model I didn't get to test before I placed an order for RAM). Why not :-) 1. Interestingly they offered to match the price of RAM right away (~5K discount from...- mk61hacker
