Went from a 21 Rebel ecoD to 25 RebelX with SO Hurricane. EcoD averaged 26mpg combined, 30mpg freeway. I'm at 5Kmi on the SO, 19.2mpg combined, about 21mpg freeway.

Seeking a V8 sound from a V6 is challenging. I'm fortunate to have an alternative, so I'll leave my Rebel exhaust as is. When I get the sound urge, I startup this guy...

Added a bunch of horsepower

If you can, check the truck for parasitic draw w/o the wireless charging pad, then with the pad. Possible you might already have an issue that the pad aggravated.

Similar issue with 21 Rebel. Different from your case though as it was under warranty. Electronic shift module broke and part on national backorder. Appeared 3 months later. Friend who works in Dodge parts dept said, in some cases, RAM will do a special order for one part to avoid a buy back...

DIY tire lift using HF racing floor jack, with rollers to line up studs with wheel. As to capacity, my current 2 post lift is 8K, wouldn't use anything less with 1500s. Been installing and maintaining lifts for 30yrs.

Detached garage/workshop, with lift, home to my Rebel and Road Runner.

True, but a trickle charger will stabilize a battery that is being drained by parasitic draw. I had a parasitic draw in a 21 Rebel, varying between 50mA and 200mA. After 2 weeks of troubleshooting, dealer was unable to isolate the cause, then tried to convince me it was "normal". I asked for...

Check parasitic draw. If >30-50mA, a trickle charger is your friend.

That's an outstanding deal. Felt pretty good about my 75K MSRP, 60K no rebates deal. Really wanted the X with console shifter, just not a fan of the dial shifter. It was the only one I could find in color/options, about 200mi down the freeway. Really happy with 19.6mpg, mostly freeway, but...

Did my first test at 1000mi, SO, similar readings to yours. Pennz Ultra 0W20.

No aftermarket alarm. Could hear the doors unlock when I approached the truck. It only unlocked when approaching the front doors. I understand its not an option. Perhaps an electrical gremlin that triggered unlock when sensing the key FOB. Regardless, it's gone now and I actually prefer the...

Wife's response to my confusion: "have you been checked for Alzheimers?" There is little doubt the truck would proximity unlock/wake up when I approached within 5ft or so, without touching anything. In fact, I didn't know about touching the door handle until it stopped unlocking on approach a...

For a several months after purchasing the 25 Rebel, the truck would unlock when I approached (with key FOB in pocket) the driver door (within 3-4ft) without touching the door handle. Recently, proximity/passive unlock only works when I grab the door handle. OM only mentions proximity/passive...

I would tend to agree, though I still use the trickle charger in case a module acquires a sleeping disorder. Don't drive that much, maybe couple times/wk, so easier in my case to use the charger.
