    Differences in shifts - eTorque vs. Non?

    I think I'm going to have to find a regular Hemi to test drive for comparison. How much smoother, or rather, is it $1400 smoother is the main question. Interesting you mention the starting torque. I've come to the conclusion that as much as the marketing talks about the "1/2 tire rotation"...

    Second Thoughts on Purchasing....reliability concerns...

    Dan, I am in the same boat as you. I've settled on what I want and was ready to pick one up, but I've decided to cool my jets until the initial quality issues are resolved. There are just too many reported issues at this time. Yes, they are getting resolved, and yes, there is the warranty...

    600lb Tongue weight, how much squat?

    Can anybody give me an idea how much squat I can expect on a coil suspension (Rebel crew, 5'7") with 600 lbs of tongue weight and a load-leveling hitch? I tow a 27' travel trailer at about 6,000 lbs and I have a Reese load leveling hitch. I'm trying to determine if the self-leveling feature of...

    Differences in shifts - eTorque vs. Non?

    I've driven the eTorque hemi a few times now, and I thought it was really smooth with its shifting. However, after doing some math and a bunch of thinking, I'm favoring going with the regular Hemi instead of the eTorque motor. So my question to those who have driven both - is there a...

    The NEW 5.7L HEMI with eTorque

    I highly doubt it. The math is actually pretty simple. Even using combined MPG ratings you're not getting but a 10% MPG boost, and remember that was under ideal EPA testing conditions. If you do more highway miles than city miles, your payback is longer. Some simple math and you're looking...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    This is what the last dealer I talked to told me, and actually SHOWED me on his computer screen. He selected the financing and then showed how the $1000 Black Friday cash was no longer an option (greyed out). Another dealer told me you gave up $500 of rebate to get the 0% financing. However...

    Air Suspension - "Wallowy"?

    I test drove an air suspension Rebel and a standard suspension Rebel today back-to-back. I'm not really sure, but I felt like the air suspension was too soft, and that the truck was "wallowing" a bit as I drove it. I immediately noticed this, which is why I took the standard out right after...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    John, tell me about the $9415 negotiated amount. How did you go about getting that? In my experience, I get to about the invoice amount (about $4500 or so depending on model) and that's where things stop. Nobody wants to reach in their pocket further. I walk out. So if you could give me...

    Is your Dealership tracking your truck without your knowledge?

    I imagine the company providing the devices is doing it completely free to the dealer, and probably is kicking back money to the dealer for every device installed that goes out the door. Why? Because the tracking company is then selling you services to recoup the cost. In addition, I'm sure...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Does anybody know if a Ford Expedition would qualify for these rebate terms: The customer must have purchased/leased their non FCA group light (1500) or heavy duty (2500/3500) truck at least 30 days prior to delivery of the new vehicle to be eligible to participate in this program. One dealer...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm not sure how people are getting below invoice prices. Here in Southeast PA I've talked to 3 dealers and not a one will move a dollar below invoice on a 2019 Rebel crew. If anybody has a good dealer in my area please PM me.
