A lift would make it easier. The brake lines were at max stretch that I was comfortable with and the springs were still compressed so I had to take the calipers off. I think the track bar was the limiting factor for droop but didn’t want to mess with it. If you are putting the truck on a lift...
Some things are still prewired, but less and less with each model year. With the amount of computers and body control modules in these trucks, even if you have the pre-wiring you are probably missing the BCM for that function. The bed light harnesses are typically there, but cheaper to go after...
Added airlift HD airbags to the Rebel, hard to see because they are black. Major PITA as with the axle at full droop with shocks and sway bar disconnected the springs are still compressed. Even took the brake calipers off and couldn’t get the axle to drop further. Used a ratchet strap to...
Hmm, not letting me select the trailer tow menu with a right toggle, just shows current brake pressure and gain and light electric? Might have to fiddle with it some more next time I hook up.
Have a ‘21 Rebel, factory ITBM and can’t find the menu to select Heavy electric brakes. Any suggestions? Trailer is 7600lbs loaded and at full gain in light electric the brakes barely grab. My previous truck, 2012 Hemi that I towed with last weekend had no issues at all, and could get the brakes...
Very similar to my setup and I’m also building an over tonneau bike rack this weekend. Have a pack and play door for shoving bikes I to the back of the trailer, but hate it, so going a different route. Hoping to have the setup pictures on Canada Day long weekend.
I just traded in my 2012 that I bought for $31,000 new and they gave me $10,500 for it. 167,xxx km on the way the the dealer to trade the keys the radio died. The CV shaft blew about 3 weeks ago. The truck towed heavy for about 60,000km of the total mileage and treated me good. Minor rust on one...
Forget GCWR, not achievable in the real world. Take your payload, subtract 12% of the loaded weight of the trailer, subtract 100lbs for hitch and then you have weight for passengers and cargo.
12% of 8100lbs is 972lbs. Find your payload on the yellow sticker, subtract 1072 lbs for tongue weight and average WD hitch weight and see what you have left. Whatever is leftover is for the weight of all of your passengers and anything you put in the bed, can of the truck, glovebox, centre...
Well it showed up today, June 9. Everything I wanted and nothing I didn’t. Looking forward to the first tow after the spirited drive home from the dealer.

That’s incredible mileage. Do you have 3.21s?
2012 4th gen SXT crew Hemi awaiting retirement. Ordered 2021 Rebel Billet Silver Metallic EcoDiesel March 10, built May 18, build sheet May 19, window sticker May 22. Dutchmen 268bhs 33’ trailer.
Picked mine up today from the dealer. Build date was May 18, 21. No issues with get up and go and averaged 9.9l/100km (23.76 usmpg) on the 1 hour drive home in 50/50 mixed city/hwy. not bad for a rebel with 3.92s, and I wasn’t babying it either.
Kinda weird to see the neighbours heads all turn...
And update to the post above, received June 9, 3 months less a day from ordering. Showed up with a blemish on the hood that looks like a poorly touched up factory fix. Dealer said it’ll be fixed whenever I can spare the time to bring it in. He’ll try paint correcting first, if that doesn’t work...
