    Negative Equity

    If you're planning on keeping the truck for a while you'll be okay. Is it a good financial decision? Not really. For most people buying a brand new vehicle isn't. It's a luxury. I rolled 3k in negative equity into mine. But I plan on keeping this thing well past when it's payed off. Be...

    question for etorque start/stop experts

    I'm pretty sure I remember reading the rrt for software updates fixing this for someone.

    question for etorque start/stop experts

    Mine doesn't do that. Mine is moving itself forward by the time my foots off the brake and it's ready for whatever throttle I give it.

    question for etorque start/stop experts

    as long as your engine is stopped for 7 seconds the start stop system saved fuel. a hot start is not a cold/rich start so the extra fuel used starting the engine is minimal. the etorque start stop is the best in the market. It's hardly intrusive. in the ram it'll even start the truck back up...

    Mopar

    any tonneau that doesn't cover a lot of the top of the tailgate will leak. The way the tailgate is designed you can see into the bed through the gap in the tailgate.

    question for etorque start/stop experts

    If it's cold out it won't stop very often due to cabin heating No gauge for the 48v battery. When I test drove my truck it stopped at the first stop light I pulled up to.

    Tow Mirrors, are they worth it?

    Rebel tow mirrors aren't heated so if you're in a colder climate I'd definitely pass. You can add aftermarket heated tow mirrors fairly easy if you didn't get them from the factory. But adding heat to the factory non heated tow mirrors is far more intensive.

    No Lane Sense but steering reacts

    I'm taking mine to the dealer Friday for the same issue. Most report it's worse steering left.

    Ford Owner But Like Rebel

    The rebel 12 does add power passenger seat. E torque, correct. The break even is a loong time. I haven't seen any proof it actually helps mpg anyway.

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    I'm not a scientist or an engineer. I do know that carbon build up from running premium unnecessarilly used to be a thing. Go ahead and Google it. Plenty of stories. I never said the hemi is susceptible to this issue either. Most modern engines aren't. I've only ever heard about it from old...

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    So where does the excess energy go from not advancing timing or increasing compression?

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    on older engines too high of octane can cause carbon build up. It's possible for the carbon to get so bad that premium is required. Current GM and Ford engines will use knock sensors to know when to advance timing to fully burn higher octane fuels. They've been open with this info...

    Left turn locking

    Lane keep assist isn't available on the rebel. Only Laramie and above. So it's not that. Someone on Facebook was saying it was a ground issue. A engineer had to fly in to figure it out.

    Left turn locking

    This only happens once the curve is hard enough that the wheel is past 10 O'Clock. Gradual turns at 80 are completely normal Edit: also it won't keep itself between the lines. I let off the wheel until it crossed the other lane onto the rumble strip on the other side just to make sure it wasn't...

    Rebel 12 19 Speaker HK & 9 Speaker W/Sub

    If they added the 595$ 9 speaker option then that's what you get.

    Left turn locking

    Has anyone else noticed it doesn't happen until you've been driving for a while? Im pretty sure a dealer wouldn't be able to duplicate it without taking a 2 hour test drive..

    Left turn locking

    Looks like mine came back. Taking a hard corner at 80 I can set the wheel and pretty much let go of it and it'll keep turning itself. I'll try to get it to the dealer this week.

    Ram plans to overtake Silverado

    when those GM 8 speed trucks start getting up in miles people will continue to leave GM. I had my heart set on a 18 6.2 denali. i went and drove a couple 20k mile used ones just to see how they were with a few miles. the tranny was TRASH. massive shudders and clunks. could never get the gear...

    Fold down rear seat?

    If your truck has reclining rear seats then they fold down. There is a 2nd tiny strap that's tucked in behind the seat to unlatch it.

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    based on your mpg i'd say you're unaffected. on my august build i get 16mpg at 70mph and 19.5 at 55mph.
