Some photos from the local dealer

[Jared B]

I'm getting pretty close to ordering so I just went to a local dealer with a good selection to compare a few different trims and colors that I'm considering in person. The dealer was closed and I could drive right onto their lot so I took the chance to shoot some pics. My truck really looks dated compared to the 5th Gens.

I agree with what others have said that you have to be fairly close up to see the metallic in the ivory, from farther away it looks basic white. That said I do like it, its not overdone and "creamy" looking like some whites can get.

I don't really like bug deflectors but I will say that this mopar one felt pretty solid and integrated into the lines well. Still not my thing but I don't think people that want them would be disappointed with it.

Really digging the look of the Canadian Sport and am partial to blue streak as I'm sure most of you would guess, the sport hood looks awesome.

Did you see any difference in the body color bumper and the body with the Ivory Tri-Coat? Seeing some earlier pictures showing a difference has held me up on White. Thoughts? Great work by the way and thank you from a newer member!

I've seen those comments as well which is why I posted the shot of the bumper and the body. The color didn't look off to me, seemed like it matched up well.

So what's at the top of the potential order list?

I'm not buying the "Almost ready to buy." You want a 2500HD.

After a lot of back and forth, I'm sticking with the 1500, I just don't have a need for the 2500HD.

As far as I can tell only one has landed locally.

Did you notice any quality issues with panel alignment? How about the front bumpers, are the gaps even? The tail light close up shot on the white truck looks like it is not seated properly with a bigger gap on one side. What is your overall impression of the quality of these trucks?

I noticed the part on the taillight as well, that was on that while Laramie Quad cab. Overall the body alignment looked good to me on every one that I looked at, aside from the aforementioned taillight on the one truck nothing else stood out to me. I've spend a day with a Laramie Crew with the 8.4 UConnect and 24 hours with a Limited crew with the 12 inch screen. Aside from the rear cross traffic alert slamming on the brakes for me when I was in reverse on the Laramie (We thought it was probably due to the license plate hanging over the blind spot monitor) I haven't noticed anything bad in terms of quality. They feel and look much better built than the 4th gen trucks.

As we all know there are a few common initial issues with some members trucks but I believe that Ram is actively working to resolve initial quality issues on the line. Other than that they seem like solid trucks to me, enough so that I'll be ordering very soon.

151 Rebels listed on Car Gurus. Only 50% are actually on the dealers lot. As far as I know, I was one of the first Rebels in my area to be delivered... sadly still at local railyard as of this morning. Pathetic.

Thanks for the pics. Loving that ivory, that dark grey doesn’t look too bad either.

As the waitress said, "Honey...need has nothin' to do with it!"

(But I'm trying to follow the same logic.)

Yes I also did a search within 100km of me. 10 in transit. 1 at dealer 80km away that I went in looked at. Thunderstorms from hell so I couldn't really crawl around it and it was a sold order so again I didn't want to crawl around in it when I was all soaking wet. The only thing I did notice is it had the all weather mats(red Ram's head) included in it so I don't have to order those.

Just saw the Rebel at my local dealer...by far the best looking 1/2 ton truck ever
