    Heads up for anyone chasing down rear window leak.

    The rear cabin pressure vents also can leak into the cab and cause water to pool under the rear seat. If the leak continues, I’d check there next.

    Magsafe Charger help

    Do they plug directly into the car’s usb ports? If so, try a 12v outlet or 120v outlet adapter. I believe the vehicle usb ports are expecting to see a smart device rather than just putting out a constant 5v current for charging. Charging some devices, like my mobile hotspot, shaves the same...

    First Tire Replacement - Suburban Driving

    Michelin Defender LTX M/S. I’ve been running them for 30k miles and they’re still as good as they were new. My driving profile and tire priorities are very similar to yours.

    Downgrading from 12 inch UConnect 5?

    Exact same boat here. Almost never use the physical AC controls. Almost always use the comfort controls. I wish the physical buttons were swapped on the 12”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Laramie 2019 ??? gear ratio.

    https://windowstickerlookup.com Put in your vin and choose dodge. If there’s a ratio listed under optional equipment, that’s what you have. Otherwise look at the standard equipment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Better SQ with just speakers

    Make absolutely sure that you have the surround / 3d sound turned off in the sound settings. I believe you have to do this for each source (radio, usb, etc…). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best Highway Tire for Stock Rebel Wheels?

    I’m running Michelin defender ltx’s. They’ve been fantastic for highway use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stock bed rail covers and tailgate cap is/are soft easy to damage. What is anyone doing as a replacement or a fix?

    You got it. High-use of those plastics will damage them for sure. Any adhered or spray-on barrier like line-x would help. To pull an idea from the r/c car area, clear lexan held down with shoe goo would work well too. It’d also have a good chance to come off cleanly later. Sent from my...

    Would you order Air Suspension again?

    I see lift kits and such on a lot of rebels. The regular suspension is easier to do that stuff with. If your thinking about doing that, I’d go regular. If not, well, on a rebel, I’d probably still leave it off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rubbing Feeling in Steering Wheel

    Common problem in my experience. Usually occurs turning right at lower speeds with the brakes applied, like when someone would pull into their driveway. D most likely something with the electronic steering rack programming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    22 Limited Rear Doors

    Most likely some fasteners or clips that didn’t seat properly. I bet one of the larger interior door pieces between the metal and interior panel is loose. Or, I guess it could just be a bad latch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Slight rub/hum/shake when turning right

    I’ve seen it in two 2019’s. The shake and noise are from the electronic power steering. Most likely a programming / software issue. Of course, Ram just says “duh, we don’t know” and “that’s normal”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Truck Quality Issues - How Picky Should I Be?

    On the CarPlay issue, try different cables, and a different phone if possible, before you go in. Otherwise they’ll throw it right back on you and say your cable / phone is bad. Intermittent issues are the worst, especially when trying to get a dealership to fix them. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Towing with a 2021 Rebel

    Yes, you should bail. No trailer weighs the dry weight. It’s always more, and you’re already over. Rebels are designed more for off-road, not towing. I’d you can’t go 2500, then maybe look for a bighorn level 2/B with few extra options (payload would be around 1600-1700). Sent from my iPhone...
