Yeah, I’ve done it with a few tanks on occasion - most are in 17’s, but lately it’s been pretty bad - for me. Like I said, I’ve always been able to better than EPA estimates. I actually didn’t want a Rebel but I liked this one with the black interior (and it’s color scheme and options) so I...

Thanks - yes, the truck just turned 25k miles so it’s still on all factory equipment. 5w20, tires at recommended pressures (maybe a touch high due to warmer temps now). I’d be perfectly happy if I could do 18 highway, but 16 is a bit of a drag. I got a friend with a similarly equipped...

Just checking back in on this thread 4 years after I got my Rebel and posted early on. My mileage has gotten worse; just did a familiar round trip where it would have been easy to see 18mpg, and only saw 16.0. Doesn’t sound like a big difference, but I was ‘trying’ so it should have been, say...

Hi all - Has anyone seen any significant mileage improvements after replacing their Duratracs with a different all-terrain oriented tire? I'm planning on replacing my factory tires and am wondering how much I should bother looking for something better rolling. I suppose on the other hand I'd...

2020 non-eTotque Rebel here. Definitely feel what the OP is talking about. For me it’s worst around our mildly hilly 30-40 mph side roads. I can feel MDS kick in, in my bone stock truck. No problem with that. It’s when MDS turns off; slight dead spot in the pedal, then a jolt. I have been...

There very well may be truth to using heavier acceleration to get better fuel mileage, vs crawling up to speed. The key is brake specific fuel consumption and knowing where an engine is most efficient. I don't know what the chart looks like for the Hemi, but it can be proven that an engine...

Loving this truck more and more - Especially the ride from the Rebel / OR suspension (y)

First tank in my new to me 2020 non-eTorque Rebel - 16.5mpg. 89 octane. Probably 60/40, backroads/highway. That's cruising at 60-65, 70 tops on the highway and being mindful of MDS around town. Truck has about 8,000 miles on it. I'm one who's always been able to squeak out better fuel...

Thanks guys! Yeah, this truck is a little unique - It came out of Wisconsin as a rental. (Rental agencies have Rebels!?) It was registered and run for about 6 or 7 months before a local dealer got it at auction. I wonder what kind of life it lived... I know folks might run away from a...

Hi all - I know there are lots of threads like this on other Hemi 5.7 boards across the 'net, but I don't see a lot of info or opinions on our DT trucks. Are the dipsticks on our 5.7's accurate? I picked up a used 2020 Rebel - 5.7, non-etorque. It had it's oil changed before I picked it up...

Hi all - First post. Just joined the other day after recently picking up a used 2020 Rebel. Quad cab, 5.7 non-etorque, Level II, Bed protection/lighting, Sunroof, black/grey interior. This is my first pickup in about 15 years. Used to have a Silverado SS back in the early to mid 2000's...
