As of Thursday January 26th, I am a proud new owner of a 2020 RAM Rebel. This is my first FCA/Dodge/RAM vehicle ever... I have own hondas, toyotas, and nissans ever since I started driving. As of last Thursday, I test drove a 2016, 2018 and 2020 model RAM Rebel trucks. I have been on the lookout for quite some time for a truck. I have a relative that has a 2014 RAM Laramie Longhorn that is fully loaded. I have ridden in a few times over the years and have been impressed with the ride quality and the amenities inside.
I was able to locate this 2020 RAM Rebel crew cab with 81k miles (no air suspension, parking sensors, or sunroof) about 30 minutes from my house. It was a Shottenkirk dealer in Canton, GA. Strangely, it was at the Hyundai Shottenkirk instead of the CDR dealer. I found numerous 4th gen Rebels crew cab but 5th gen Rebels were only quad cabs. 5th gen crew cabs in my price range and mileage were slim per a few websites and many of them were out of state. I wasn't necessarily looking for a 2020 but the timing seemed right as well as the price. Also, my 2020 had been on their lot since November of last year.
The Carfax came back as a rental for PV Holdings which is the parent company of Avis. I was very skeptical at first when I came across this information. However, the drives like its brand new. Has fairly new tires on it. No major blemishes inside the truck. There is the common driver side seat wear near the seams on outside facing seat bottom. It's not terrible yet but I think there is some other things to try to slow the rip from spreading.
Outside the truck has scratch along the driver side rear door that was actually touched up decently. There are 3-4 chips in the paint elsewhere that was touched up, and then there is in passenger door that appears to be making contact with the fender when opening/closing. I have heard of some tricks on how to fix this. Comparing this to the driver side door/fender, the fender sits farther outward if that make sense. The passenger fender seems like someone or some thing leaned on it and bent it ever so slightly. Then the last thing that I noticed today was the RAM letters on the tailgate could use some touchup or replacing altogether.
I will be in the market for some type of bed cover before the summer. My wife is already wanting us to take the truck to the beach trip so I will need something to cover the bed.
Looking forward to browsing this forum!
