Ford's best selling trucks are V6s, though I agree for RAM's historic customers prefer a V8, I included. If both GM & Ford can manage to keep a V8 available, while pushing smaller engines, I would think Stellantis can as well. The other issue is production and price management and dealership...

Rebels get bad gas mileage, it's the nature of trim. Stellantis EPA mpg rating is blanket stated across all trim lines, the higher mpg you have seen documented was probably from street tired 1500s, Rebels with their 33" ATs will never match. Unless you hypermile, you won't come close to the...

I think that can be changed, there is setting with a circuit breaker that turns off the 12V power supply with the ignition, mine was set to that by default.

I've been happy with my Duratracs, but they got a reputation for sure. Probably because they are OEM on so many vehicles, including the Trail Boss Silverado, Canyon, Defender, etc. for example along with a score of other various SUVs and trucks, so lots of opinions to go around. They are kind...

Typically, I've seen stock 18" Rebel wheels that have worn tires will sell at the $350 range (black & silver) or up to $500 in all black. If they have fresh tires, you can add $300 or so to that, and honestly a bargain when you consider how much new Duratracs go for. I think the folks that try...

Sounds like your blend door is having issues, especially with multiple clicking sounds. In 4th gen, it's easy to change out, not sure in the 5th gen. How long since the battery was disconnected? Often it does take several hours to overnight for everything to come back online after a battery...

That sucks man, I've been complaining about the Stellantis dealership network for a while, they are just not up to the task at least a lot of them aren't. Compared to so many other manufacturer dealership networks I've been through, Stellantis seems to be by far the slowest to react and...

I had an issue, it's garbage and my fix was to get a good cell phone and use Google maps. I will pull out a sextant and use the stars and sun like seafarers of old to navigate before I use the OEM Nav again.

Check the circuit breaker box in the engine bay, open it up and make sure all the bolts are tight and that none of them are missing. If it's just loose, it could give you intermittent issues. Check out this thread below...

I plan on doing mine by the recommended 8th year if I don't hit the recommended mileage.

Dealership lifetime essentially means 100K, or about as far as most extended warranties will support the powertain. Longevity of your transmission after warranty is something they don't care about, it works against their interest. I would follow ZFs recommendations, I think it's 50K-75K or so...

$51K without negotiations?

Example of modern corporate cost cutting, they went from standard LED tail lights to Halogen on the Rebel. Typically, refreshes actually improves the equipment, but not everywhere. Luckily, the pre-facelift tail lights look better anyways, no interest in "upgrading" to the newer tail light...

Wow, thanks for sharing, I suspected it would be some cheap little connection that would be the main problem. Since I live in a temperate zone, if mine ever starts to leak, I'm just going to do a permanent block off to the heater core and call it a day, assuming I'm out of warranty.

Buy a cheap OBDII reader on Amazon, they usually start at $15 or so. Use the Torque phone app and check the code. Hopefully just a minor emissions code, you can clear it with the app, and see if it pops up again. I personally would leave the code up and have the dealer take a look.

Back on the F150 forums, the favorite aftermarket replacements, often for bulging acorn nuts, similar to RAMs as well, was Gorilla. I bought a black replacement set, seemed good quality. I got them from American Truck.

If you can't find an OEM upgrade, I highly recommend buying an aftermarket TPMS on Amazon for $50-$70. Super easy to install, the sensors simply replace the dust covers on the valve stem, and the receiver is the size of a deck of cards, wireless and can be put anywhere in the cab. You can...

The only thing you can do is upgrade to the steering wheel with the backside audio controls, it may require updating the feature software as well. That's pure cost costing, how much does Stellantis save by removing the steering wheel backside audio buttons? I honestly didn't think RAM made a...

I've seen universal carpeted dashboard protectors bought at the swap meet that fit better than that. Sorry you're going through that man, but if the dealer won't give you goodwill, there is alternatives with upholstery shops, find one that has good ratings on Yelp and see what they say..

Try Discount Tire/America's Tire, they won't charge you to talk to them, tell them your situation, they may have a better idea than even the dealer on what's going on. Maybe another batch of bad sensors or the receiving unit? They may help you narrow it down and give you some ammo with the...
