    2021 rebel multi function tailgate issues?

    Like I said - unless there's a parts shortage of MFT's across ALL MODELS - can't see why it would not be available SPECIFICALLY to a Rebel. So it has to be one of the other options you're looking at. Personally - I don't offroad or anything - I like comfort and a loaded-options package. The...

    2021 Ram Limited HUD in 2020 Ram Limited

    Digital Rearview would be a cool toy. Don't see how much useful data you really need, that you couldn't get by glancing down. Now - on my '05 Vette @ 100+MPH - yeah - HU was a useful tool... My $.02 Rick

    2021 rebel multi function tailgate issues?

    I don't see any reason why a MFT won't work on a Rebel - nor why COVID would prevent ordering. It's probably more along the lines of your color or option package selection. I'd go on the BUILD SECTION of the Ram site - and mess around with configurations to see what is/isn't allowed. I have a...

    Sudden transmission drop out of Drive with flashing light above D on the shift know

    Did you get a message on the screen when this happened? Usually an error like this (flashing D) will come with a message. If the truck is still moving (even ever so slow) won't shift - or - it wants foot on the brake to change gears. If it happens again - take a second to look at the screen...

    Trade in program for Etorque that’s what needs to happen!

    So the OP has traced all of his issues to ETorque? Even though there's probably 500K of them out running the roads right now? I (for the record) don't mind my ET. Doesn't give me additional fuel mileage (see fuelie in sig) that I can see (though I can't imagine it BEING WORSE without it)...

    Tonneau Covers that work with Ramboxes and Multi-Functional Tailgate

    Actually - anything that works with rambox's will work - MFT or not - because the bed is different, and the brackets do not interfere (like they do with a non-rambox). But MAKE SURE any cover you look at is RAMBOX SPECIFIC. Rick

    U Connect Won't Let My Phone Go

    yes - turning off BT will disconnect. The head unit - will stay on as long as the BT connection is active - turn the BT off, and it will disconnect/turn off the truck. Rick

    U Connect Won't Let My Phone Go

    I'm assuming this is via BlueTooth? I don't use BT - I hardwire. If I'm getting out of the truck - switch the iPhone to speaker on the phone, disconnect cable - done. I assume the BT keeps the head unit active, while a call is active - so it doesn't drop the call by accident. This is...

    Dealer and Chrysler refusing to Repair damage from dealer lot

    I had a couple of small dings in the driver/rear door - noticed them at pickup - dealer fixed. Typically - once you take it off the lot - they have no way of knowing if the damage was there before you left. And looking at things OBJECTIVELY - I can see both points of view. Last truck I bought...

    Selling my truck today

    Interesting way to leverage the shortage of used trucks. $39K for a laramie with 26K miles is pretty good. That would almost put my Limited with 22K miles at close to what I paid (out the door) for it (47K) - though I still have $10 on paper on it (purchase, not lease). The only thing that...

    IN DEALER MANY TIMES FOR REPAIR "Hoot" in cabin at 75+mph/crosswinds.

    Watching this thread - I get it too. I believe it's air coming through an opening in the front bulkhead. Haven't figured out what it is. It's weird - same noise as in your video's. Not irritating enough to leave it at the dealers to try and duplicate. Rick

    Meet The All-New 2021 Ram 700 Subcompact Pickup:

    Looks a little like the Honda Ridgeline - which is basically a Pilot with a pickup bed. I know RAM is part of FCA - but this is a Fiat Pickup - not something worthy of the RAM badge. I'm still waiting for Ram to move into the fullsize SUV market (Suburban/Expedition) - a segment everyone...

    air suspension truck leaning on one side

    Have you measured, to see if it's an "optical illusion"? Measure from the center of the wheel wells to the ground on each wheel (so the tape goes past the center hub on each wheel). I recall, when I was setting up my weight distribution hitch - that both SIDES were pretty close (within a 1/2...

    Totally unhappy with my purchase

    Hear ya - don't think you can "just stop making payments" - but it would make it easier for your creditor to REPO the truck - being stuck at the dealership and all. PLUS - it starts dumping your credit score. I would have paid cash for my truck - my accountant wouldn't let me. I put $27K down...

    Totally unhappy with my purchase

    I found it pretty amazing myself that Ram was just so "head and shoulders" above the competition. I was really more int he market for a full sized SUV - but couldn't find one that optioned out the way the Ram is - in the "less than $80K range". It's no mystery (now) why they're "Truck of the...

    Totally unhappy with my purchase

    Seems like dealerships are an issue with RAM's - though likely no more or less than any other brand. Though I think part of the issue with FCA dealers is that they have too many brands under one roof (Dodge/Chrysler/Ram/Jeep), and even though Ram trucks are likely their big ticket item (other...

    UConnect Issues with Used 2019 Ram 1500 Limited

    Now - this is based on my personal experience. Uconnect app (on phone) rarely if ever worked. Assist never connected. Emergency button got hit once - rang endlessly, no one picked up - wouldn't shut off - ended up having to disconnect the battery to get it to shut off. I disconnected all...

    Washer Fluid use

    Keep in mind - depending on the washer fluid - there's alcohol (or methanol) in it - being a solvent - there's going to be some evaporation. Not a gallons worth for sure - but some. Truck has never been into a dealer for service - I run by a friends shop and use his lift (saves me from having...
