    What Color Would You Like to See Added to the Rebel Color Palette?

    I'm really annoyed they didn't make patriot blue available in the '19 model... Now there's a '20 model running around town in that color... Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    15-16 at 75 on flat ground. Been getting slightly higher lately. Took a 2 hour trip north of me, 16 there, 19 back. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    What (cheap) aftermarket brake controllers work

    They don't have to be flat, anymore. They use multi axis accelerometers. They just need to be parallel to direction of travel (not crooked or ****ed). That being said, the clean look of an integrated one is better. I paid 120 for the parts, 140 for the flash (min. 1 hour labor charge for a 20...

    First Tow Impression: 5200+# Travel Trailer

    I'm not too worried about it. I've done dangerous towing in the army, and I know what to expect and how to deal with it. I'll have trailer brakes, a WDH hitch, and I'll be readjusting my hitch to perfection. Plus I'm not averse to slowing down or even pulling over to keep safe and level. With...

    What (cheap) aftermarket brake controllers work

    I installed a Tekonsha P3 in my previous Colorado (before they had the integrated controller), and I loved it. 0 issues and did the job very handily. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    First Tow Impression: 5200+# Travel Trailer

    I just towed my camper 2.5 hours away this past weekend over fairly flat ground (west Texas, east NM). My trailer only weighs 2600# UVW, maybe 3k# loaded up (no water), 21ft tongue to rear bumper mounted spare. I have an E2 Round Bar WDH, and it's set up perfectly (front tire to fender height...

    Picking up my new trailer Saturday. What W/D hitch?

    I have an E2 Round Bar WDH, and I love it. I really love the fact that I don't need an extra component for sway control, and I can pull the bars off to get tighter maneuvering, which I've never needed to do. That's a pic of it on my last truck. I've also towed that trailer with my wife's 2018...

    Color code for interior metallic red trim

    If you look through that thread, he posted a tag with the Ferrari paint code. Here you go: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/red-rebel-emblem-overhaul.11160/post-157264 Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    New 2019 Rebel wanders on road

    Sorry, not judging. I just feel like tightening the swaybar defeats the purpose of a rebel's suspension, which is to articulate and move. I would miss the articulation and movement of the suspension if I tightened it up... It actually needs loosening, in my opinion. Now, a stiffer sway coupled...

    New 2019 Rebel wanders on road

    Is this on a rebel? This truck wallows through corners, compared to my lowered S4, but it handles exactly how I feel a lifted TRUCK on large tires would. These ride smooth and comfortable, but they're not racecars... They're 7k lbs of metal. Why is everyone trying to get it to car levels of...

    off-road group questions

    No, there isn't one at all. There's no air dam attached to the front skid plate. They removed it completely. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    The wave

    Being out in west Texas, a lot of people still wave to each other, especially other truck drivers of all kinds. They're just more friendly here than other places I've lived. It was weird to me when I first moved here. Now I'm used to it and wave back, which is usually just 2 or 3 fingers...

    New Members and Trucks

    I don't think you'll regret the decision. I bought my Audi after my first deployment (07-08), as a treat to myself, too! lol. Good luck over there and keep your head down!

    New 2019 Rebel wanders on road

    How long have you had the truck? Tires are always slick for the first few hundred miles, sometimes up near 1k. Gotta wear off the top layer which is the oiliest from manufacturing. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
