    23-24 Limited 6'4 with Sunroof DO THEY EXIST

    It's not just the Limited. Longhorn, Limited, and Tungsten all have leather covered dashes. I'm not sure about the RHO since I've never seen on in person.

    Paint defect (under warranty) dealers will not repair it. I want a buyback. (Update 10/9/25 Post #12)

    Agreed. I’ve got a ton of experience with winter driving, including many rwd late 60’s and early 70’s American cars. It’s the people who are only here to go to college that worry me. Many of them are from parts of the state that get very little snow, or other countries where they didn’t even...

    I’m not sure that’s true for the guy who buys a brand new Rebel lol. But I see your point.

    Of course you did. But everyone here knows you’re perfect. :rolleyes: Maybe if I lived in a flat state like Nebraska I wouldn’t have needed the extra weight to make it up some of the mountain roads I drove back then. @-RotorDemon- , my apologies for taking this thread off topic.

    Haha I guess that makes me a weirdo :ROFLMAO: I won’t defend those who end up in the ditch. Too many people don’t know how to drive in winter, and don’t understand that having 4wd does nothing for you when it comes to stopping or cornering under low traction conditions. :ROFLMAO: But my...

    Reverse light options

    Maybe remove the excessively dark tint and have the windows retinted lighter? I’ve hade a couple vehicles with 5% limo tint and hated it. I had to roll down the windows to be able to use the mirrors at night. Had the windows retinted to about 25% and it solved my problem.

    2026 Hemi Hood Badge

    From the pics I’ve seen it’s going to have the same hood badge they’ve been using for years on etorque Hemi’s. I haven’t seen much in the way of replacement badges but you might check over on eBay...

    Just to let you know, plenty of people buy “off road” models and never leave the tarmac. I owned a 2017 Rebel for two and a half years and didn’t even drive on a gravel road, let alone take it off road. I bought it because I liked how it looked, not for any off road capability. Not everyone...

    WATER STAINING

    I tried cheaper options before going with the deionizer, including RV filters. None of them came close to being as effective. But we have very hard water where I live. I might have spent almost as much experimenting with filters as I spent on the deionizer. Buy once cry once would have been...

    WATER STAINING

    For my vehicles I rinse with deionized water from and use an Adam’s Air Cannon to blow the water off. These weren’t cheap though, but are very effective for the hard water I have at home...

    WATER STAINING

    There are lots of ways to remove them. But preventing them in the first place is the best solution. A quick search will give you more information than you’ll want. Found this with a 10 second search but feel free to search on your own…...

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    Nothing wrong with that. I’d guess that the majority of people just let it do its thing.

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    Thanks for proving my point. :ROFLMAO: And for the record, all 5th gens w/hemi etorque have the button to disable stop/start. My daughter’s 2019 Rebel had it, and so did the 2020 Laramie I owned.

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    This thread is about etorque. One recent post isn’t a chain of replies. But of course, you can’t ever admit when you make a mistake. The person who said there is a button to turn it off was quoting me. And I didn’t mention anything about stop/start. You’re right of course, there is a button...
