Hi All,
New member here although on my 3rd Ram 1500 and contemplating my 4th since 2008. Significant other & I operate a flight school in Hammond LA, she was teaching a half blind diabetic (his description of himself) to fly, he also happened to the the local regional Chrysler dealer rep. I mentioned to him that I was thinking of buying a RAM and he set me up with a Friends & Family discount - that led me to my 1st RAM - a new 2008 black 4x2 Longhorn Quad cab Hemi from All Star in Denham Springs, LA. 2015 & I was itching for something new, went to the local Hammond dealer (Community Motors) and they had a 7K mile 2014 4x2 Sport Crew Cab w Hemi on the lot - loved the trim but not real happy giving up the bed length for the crew cab ( I didn't know that at the time) - we don't have kids & the rear cab was only used for the dogs & groceries etc. 2017 I got a case of the A** & decided I wanted to go back to a quad cab & so traded for a dealer order (@ Community of Hammond again) 2017 4x2 Sport Quad cab Hemi in flame red - dammit but I hate that color, don't know why I ordered it - well I do; it was dark when I made the decision looking at other vehicles on the lot. By late 2021 I'd decided that I wanted a new black on black Quad cab Rebel - hummed & harred over the extravagance of replacing a vehicle just because the color p*****d me off and RAM removed the quad cab option from the rebel by the time I walked into Community ............ here we are late 2022 and my mind is prepared to compromise over the crew/quad thing....Guessing this will be my last IEC vehicle - not that I think there's anything wrong with an EV; they're bound to improve with time as most thing do when there's smart brains trying to make things better. Trying to decide EcoDiesel or Hemi and now I find Diesel is off the table for the Rebel in 2023 - I know 1st world problems..
Anyway this site is awesome.....I'd had a message for the last 12 months+ about RH brake light being out but SWMBO said they're both working fine, finally searched the topic today and found the suggestion about the cab mounted light being out - guess what - the cab light had failed....quick trip to O'Rilleys & $3.50 and it was fixed.
**Edit**
I'm thinking 2023 Rebel 5.7, air suspension, night edition, trailer package, Rebel 2 plus 12 & bed liner. Was planning to hit up Mark of LA for a quote.
