I ordered my 2019 and just checked on duplicating it for 2020 but found a few things I did not like. I cannot get the 3.92 ratio with a 5.7, You have to get the 3.6 engine and to get the 33 gallon tank you now must get the 3.6. Also to get the air suspension I would have to do without a lot of options that I now have. Looks like I will be keeping my 2019 for a lot longer. Sunroof price came down but the 12 inch screen is over 2k now. No diesel option listed on the website yet either.

I’d guess those additional options haven’t caught up in the system for 2020. Otherwise a lot of people are going to be extremely disappointed.

I find it hard to believe that FCA is going to nix the 3.92 gearing for the Hemi. With RAM touting a 12K towing capacity, that's not going to be a stretch with 3.21.
I wouldn't believe the website configurator as fact for available options and configurations. Unless the dealer can or cannot order option configurations it doesn't matter what the website States.

The on line configure eliminates my 3.92 axle ratio, air suspension, 33 gallon tank, all option I really like on my current truck with the 5.7 hemi. Maybe the dealer can include in a order. I don't want a boulevarde cruiser, I want a working truck.

I just built a laramie 2020 online and it let me build it with 5.7 and 3.92, the 33 gallon required a package 1 or 2 but didn't require V6

Sometimes the on line builder is incorrect. Best to check with your salesman.

I tried to build mine with the level 2 and it would not let me. I will certainly be glad if I can go through dealer to get my options. I am trying to build a Laramie with off road package, level 2. Pretty much a limited but with the 6 passenger seating setup. I like the wider buckets in that configuration.

I would find it hard to believe you couldn't get the 3.92 with a hemi. However, I have seen car makers do strange things.

I was trying to see if the 360 view camera can be had with the Rebel - I didn't see it, but I assume it would be there as you can add just about all the other tech stuff to the Rebel now.

No 360 and no ventilated seats for the Rebel.
