    End of Lease - ugh

    wow - you folks won't believe what I was told/shown this past Saturday - truck is a 2019 Rebel, 18K miles - according to edmunds, kbb, pick your value - its right around $50K trade-in, and only goes up for private party/dealer pricing. My local dealer just got a 2021 rebel on the lot, so called...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Impressive MPG on vacation trip

    LOL - cruise at 75mph, illinois to wisconsin, fair amount of hills, nothing major, 2 passengers and luggage, and several firearms, so yes lightly loaded

    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...

    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

    Buying a Rebel, input from owners wanted

    Had my '19 Rebel since September - overall great truck however... I bought mine off the dealer lot, had the majority of what I wanted, but here's what I would change next time Don't get the factory tonneau cover - it has a nice look but i'm just waiting for it to fly off in high wind. It has...

    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...

    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...

    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

    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.

    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...

    So....I’ve had my Laramie for 6 months now

    I've only had my Rebel a week but its already become my favorite vehicle ever. I love everything about it. I've had over a dozen vehicles in the last decade, this takes the cake. I hope it remains trouble free for a great while, but even if something arises I'm sure the warranty will take...

    Enough Yap - I let the $ do the talking

    Well, I'll let the pics do the work - traded in my 06 Silverado - to say these trucks are night/day difference is an understatement

    Those with 2019 BigHorns, post them up.

    I'm leaning heavily toward a big horn, got everything I need except leather, and I think I can live without it - how are the cloth seats in the '19? I sat in one briefly and thought it was ok - what do you guys think of them after long drives? Are they holding shape well? Any issues with...

    2019 Lease Deals

    Hi all - I know there's a price thread already going but that seems to be focused on buying - I'm curious what lease agreements folks are getting. I'm currently leasing a Charger that's up in 2 months and plan to get a RAM next. I'm about 20,000 miles under my agreement and think most of those...

    2019 RAM 1500 Laramie with issues from the start (long read)

    While new vehicle issues are frustrating its good to get them documented to help future customers. I'm very interested in the 2019 RAM when I replace my '15 Charger later this Summer, but may pick up an '18 if these issues continue to surface. I'm old-school and believe reliability and...

    Sport Appearance Package

    It looks to be an appearance package on the RAM build site available on the Laramie trim, but not the Limited - I'm still a couple months out on the purchase so hope to see some in person before then.

    Sport Appearance Package

    Hi all - i'm fairly convinced I'm buying a 2019 Laramie later this summer. I can't stand all the chrome on the front end of the truck so interested in the sport appearance package - I haven't seen any for sale. Is this strictly a dealer add-on package or do you expect some to come out of...
