Hello everyone. Just took delivery of a new 2022 Rebel GT, Billet silver/black. I am coming out of a 2017 Black/black RAM sport night package with the Hemi 5.7. I enjoyed 65,000 trouble free miles on the 2017 RAM.

I must say I am amazed at the improvements in this new generation truck. Smooth and quiet, powerful and athletic, this new truck has a presence and level of refinement that FAR surpasses my 2017. To be fair, the MSRP was substantially higher on the new truck. 2017 MSRP $54,000. 2022 MSRP $72,500. I was initially going to order another black truck. At the last minute, I decided to go Billet silver with the blacked out front and wheels and I could not be happier. The new vehicle looks fantastic! The smoothness pulling away from a stop and during shifts is incredible with the e-torque. The GT package has some very nice touches in the interior, and the Cat back exhaust combined with the cold air intake has a deep refined growl under acceleration while remaining perfectly quiet at cruising speeds.

The truck is scheduled for ceramic tint all around, a set of mopar TRX rock rails, a BAK Flip X4s tonneau cover, a Hellwig sport sway bar and a YETI Tundra 75 hard cooler.

The new vehicle has just 125 miles on the odometer. I am looking forward to much good conversation and friendship here at the forum.

Here are some weak iPhone pics. Please excuse the dirty garage. We got 6 inches of snow the night I brought it home so I just pushed everything aside and crammed the truck in lol. Rebel GT is definitely the sweet spot for me.

She's a looker! Congrats! I envy your shifter, thought - I hate this frickin' rotary *** on my limited.

The shifter does look nice. But I would miss the room it takes up in the center console. I realize I have plenty of storage in my truck, but the accessible storage when driving is at a premium for me. It's not like I can reach into my rear floor storage bins or rambox bins while I'm driving.

Love your truck. What kind/% tint is that? I like the new center shift. My last truck had the rotary knob and it was a little glitchy.

Thanks, I love it too. Sometimes I can't believe I'm driving a truck - more like a limo! As for the tint - to be honest, I can't remember. I know it's just one level over legal, so if I get stopped, I'm busted. I tinted all the glass, including the windshield and sunroof. I don't notice the windshield tint unless I roll down the drivers window on a sunny day. Even at night, it's not noticeable. This TX heat requires all the protection you can get!

I like the two tone, but I didn’t want gloss black. I’m having my lower areas wrapped in a satin black that is a dead match to my wheels and bumper areas as well as the wheel arches. I think it will look great.

Very subtle difference but more appropriate with the rebel.

I’m going to add the TRX rock rails but those are temporarily on back order.

Where can I find the satin black lug nuts?

I got the silver two-tone and also plan to wrap the bottom black stripe with satin black to match the rest. Since you are looking at that stuff, Aircooledpurist, have you looked at or do you know what it would take to do the same as the night edition with the ram grill letters and skid plate? Can that be wrapped or do they need to be replaced/painted etc? May be a dumb question but I AM a nube here...

I've seen the roof wrap and also a satin racing stripe done on the silver, but am considering something just hood and kick panels...I figure I can go back and get the roof done later if I think I want to. If you do it though PLEASE post pix!

Black lugs I am getting for my new wheels on amazon. I have bought them there before and they were great...plus if you don't like them, send em back! You just need to search the thread pattern and know the style you need for your wheels.

So you can definitely wrap the skid plate and Ram Front Grill Letters. The satin wrap looks awesome.

I’m so on the fence about wrapping the lower rockers. I love the Billet…. It looks fresh and clean but I know the satin bottom will look great.

I had the tires turned around today. No more white letters and the chrome lug nuts are now satin black to match the wheels. DRAMATIC improvement.

Finally….. silly as it sounds the dealer swapped out the black start button to the red start button of the TRX. That’s good for 10 additional hp.

Picking up TRX rock rails on Long Island this weekend….. SO much nicer looking than the standard side steps.

Nice. I looked at GT at Dealership, it was purty, like 61K, only 2 WD. I need 4 WD. Guess that means at them prices I stay with MY 19, LOL.

I also need time to get used to this rotary shifter. Always surching what on my right, which is not there, like in my other vehicles. But sometime the shanks of my honeygirl :p
