as i sit here and wait on my new warlock i am faced with a few questions that i hope u can answer for me
how are the led fog lights? got any night time down road on and off pics?
are they just for show?
how far up does the front skid/bumper plate go?
do they still have grill shutters?
is the grill still easy to pop off? i like to run a diesel front cover in the winter time. gets really cold in the north where i live and i find it helps the truck warm up faster. also i run a 190 t-stat.
thanks for you time and input

i also got the factory skid plates package and are they decent or just flimsy thin steel

Also you posted in Forth Gen. if it’s a 19 which I’m assuming since you’re waiting it is. You would want it on the 5th Gen section

I am sure you do not want to hear this, But I had a Rebel for 6 months and it was a POS as far as the steering goes. It would not go down the road straight at all without being on the wheel all of the time, it felt like being on mud with a 40 mph cross wing all the time.
When I would nail the throttle it would jump into the left lane instantly, and swing back to the right when I let off the throttle. I had it back to the dealer 6 times with this issue, and I kept hearing there is nothing is wrong with it.
I traded it back in for a sport and was talking to another salesman and he admitted there is an issue with the air ride on the rebels. To make a long story short, take it out for a long test drive and make sure it goes straight with very little input from the steering wheel, and see if changes lanes when you nail the throttle.
My biggest mistake was I took mine out for a test drive in the rain, and I thought the wandering back and forth on the road was caused by the 17 inch rims and tall tires on wet roads.
But to answer a couple of your questions, The LED fogs are very nice, and the grill comes off by removing 4 screws on top of the grill, and pulling it straight out to remove it.
I had to remove the grill to take the headlights out to replace the dim stock halogen bulbs with a HID kit. And it did not have the shutter system in the grill. The factory skid plates are nice, not 1/8" plate steel, but they are better than nothing.

I thought the 2019 Warlocks are 1500 Classics which, for all intents and purposes, is considered 4th Gen...?
