    TRX Waiting Room

    Dont feel alone. I also have a Rebel, and it also gets crap MPGs. In comparison, I have a Honda Civic Type R that I can get to return 38-40 mpg on the hwy...in all honesty I have never driven a vehicle that I wasnt able to get, at least, the MPG on the window sticker, but that Rebel will not do...

    TRX @ MSRP or less?

    Got mine on order from Bluebonnet Ram in New Braunfels, TX @ MSRP. They have been great to deal with so far...tons of communication and no BS. I probably wont see my truck until January, but still very exciting.

    Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

    I didn't try the demo. If you are able to get it programmed with the demo app that would be really cool. With the quotes I was getting from my local dealerships to just flash the software onto my truck the $49 was still a savings, but if the developer is going to give you all of the tools that...

    Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

    I used the device that I believe I listed in the first post...if I didnt I will have to go to my other house and look at it since it is in my toolbox there. I dont keep it in the truck because it is a bluetooth device and I am concerned that a person who is of nefarious intent could detect the...

    How's your mileage?

    Bought mine in July. Has about 4000 miles on it now. 2019 Rebel Crew Cab w/o eTorque. My commute is 4.6 miles in city driving each way. I almost never go on the highway...no need, I live in Houston. Fuelly has me at 15.1 MPG. I think that is ok since I never use cruise control, stop and go...

    Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

    Thanks for the update to the software selections. I am glad that you were able to get it working. I also appreciate the screenshots which should help the next person get through this install a little easier.

    New Member - 2020 Rebel On The Way

    Congrats on the new truck! I have the air in mine and love it. People have mixed feelings for sure, but I think that if you live in a place that doesnt get to negative temps each winter it is so nice to have the ability to adjust ride height/comfort on the fly and auto-level for load handling...

    Will the new turbo 6 replace the Hemi?

    I would also not call that amazing fuel economy since I get better than that city MPG in my 19 5.7 Ram Rebel. my 2 cents... Nothing wrong with small displacement turbo engines. I have owned everything from a 1986 SVO Mustang to a 2018 Ford Focus RS and many other turbo motored cars in between...

    Anyone install a JL 13TW5 (slim) subwoofer behind rear seats?

    I also like it, and I couldnt give a crap about loud stereos. That just looks good! Congrats to you

    2018 Mustang GT to 2019 Ram 1500

    If rotor demon implies that you swapped a hellcat into a rx7...well that would be cool, but I think you mean that you have a rotory that is a demon. Lots of them went fast and furious, dont see them too often any more. I have an 86 SVO Mustang. No idea how many there are like mine...never were a...

    40 mpg...

    Yes, the hemi sounds so good. One of the best sounding engines of all time...give it a better muffler than the factory one and grin every time you mash the loud pedal.

    2018 Mustang GT to 2019 Ram 1500

    I went from a Focus RS to a Ram Rebel...the trick is that I still have a mustang in the garage :P I really enjoy driving the truck now, and we hardly ever take my wife's jeep anywhere since I bought the Ram. If you feel the itch, remember, you have a "practical" truck now, so you can justify...

    Grille “RAM” vinyl overlays

    That looks cool, but holy crap...$300 for led backlit letters. As a veteran myself, I can appreciate that they are a veteran owned business, but them prices though. $300 would put a new dash in my Mustang...and it needs one because it is over 30 years old and cracked all to hell. Cool product...
