    Stiffer rear springs

    I had airlift 1000 in my 4th gen and they were great. Stepped up to a 2021 Rebel and the 1000hd bags don’t fill the coils all the way and they don’t eliminate as much sag as when the coils are full top to bottom. If I were to do it again on my rebel I’d go stand-alone helper air springs or...

    2021 Ram 1500 3.0 Eco Diesel Towing a 2007 Modified Cargo Mate Car Hauler

    Wow, that’s low for the ED. Towing the 7600lb setup pictured and my Rebel with bikes over tonneau at 65-70 I get 12-14 mpg, and that included towing through the Canadian Rockies. We’re you WOT at 70+ with wind the whole time?

    Max tire width on stock Rebel rim?

    It might fit but the clearance to the upper control arm will become and issue that will require spacers.

    Toy Haauler towing question

    850 hitch dry will be 1,000 wet (batteries, propane, contents get added). With the occupant load and the extras you’re over, wouldn’t risk this one. If we were talking non-toy-hauler travel trailer the tongue weight would start 200lbs lighter and be 850 loaded, with much less cargo capacity and...

    Trailer connected and rear parking off issue

    Mine freaks out with just a hitch drawbar installed, even worse with the trailer. Must **** off rear parking sensors anytime i throw a hitch in or am trailering. It stays off through keys cycles until you turn it back on.

    Toy Haauler towing question

    Let’s just say that if you are asking the question it means it’s not capable. As mentioned toy haulers are very heavy tongue weight, typically 2500 or 3500 territory. Is it towable, yes, BUT you will not be happy towing it. Assuming 250lbs per adult, or 1000lbs, 100lbs for tonneau, 100lbs for...

    Help ID this cloth or exhaust wrap zip tied in engine

    That’s insulating the EGR tube. Leave it there. If the EGR gets too cool the soot buildup gets worse.

    Rebel Friends! Question

    Tailgate gap

    Ram box or no ram box the ram tail gate gaps have gotten larger on the 5th gen. Was about 1/4” on my 4th gen without ram box and is 3/4” on my 5th gen without ram box. Unnecessarily large IMO. I think this due to how much the frame flexes on these trucks and the need to prevent tailgate to box...

    First Tow with 2022

    Those with “the sway” typically have something set up incorrectly. I tow 7600lbs and have never had an issue with exception of initial tow where my tongue was too high and I wasn’t transferring enough weight back to the front wheels.

    Diesel Tank?

    It totally is. Night and day over my old Hemi. Will never go back to gas in a truck, ever.

    21 vs 22 Diesel engine is 1800 more

    About 2,000km of the 8,266 km is towing 7,600 pounds on these numbers. In USMPG 17.68, 19.93 and 24.5 top to bottom of the picture. Pretty close to 50/50 hwy/city. With the towing mileage taken out the average is closer to 11.5L/100km or 20.4mpg. Have seen average highway mileage as low as...

    2021 Ram 1500 Limited w/ 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers

    These are my favourite wheels on this truck. 2012 4th gen SXT crew Hemi retired. Factory ordered 2021 Rebel Billet Silver Metallic EcoDiesel March 10, built May 18, build sheet May 19, window sticker May 22, delivered June 9. Dutchmen 268bhs 33’ trailer, 7600lbs +/- 100lbs loaded and scaled.

    Trying to confirm 35’s will fit 2021 1500 with 2” level kit

    Yes, very little room to the UCA, like less than 1/2” on 11.50 wide tires. 12.5” will hit and require spacers.

    Diesel Tank?

    To give perspective I get over 1000kms on my 33 gallon tank with mixed city/hwy driving and about 600km towing almost 8000lbs. My former Hemi with the same size tank got 500km with mixed City/hwy and 250-300km towing. My rebel ED mileage has been easily double over almost 9000km (broke 10,000km...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    That looks great! Even if they are a little off in colour the slight contrast would look awesome. 2012 4th gen SXT crew Hemi retired. Factory ordered 2021 Rebel Billet Silver Metallic EcoDiesel March 10, built May 18, build sheet May 19, window sticker May 22, delivered June 9. Dutchmen...

    Anyone else getting offers from dealerships for your truck?

    Have received offers every 2 weeks after taking possession. Started at MSRP, which was $8k more than I paid, and has been as high as $13k more. Not interested as the same truck now is almost $14k more, if you can get it. I ordered mine in March 2021 and it took 3 months to get it. The same order...

    Upgrade brake pads for towing duty?

    May have glazed the pads somehow. Worth checking. If that’s the case new pads and good to go.

    About to pull the trigger on a Travel Trailer - need some of your inputs to confirm my understanding....

    Good to go based on experience. My payload is 1444lbs and I always have my wife, daughter and son in the truck. My Trailer is 6873lbs dry, 7600lbs loaded. Have about 200lbs left to GVWR when hitched and has been scaled many times. I tow with the 60 gallon fresh tank full as we dry camp a lot.

    Upgrade brake pads for towing duty?

    Trailer brakes probably need to be dialed up a bit. I don’t have any difference in pedal feel or bite when towing my 7600lb trailer. Yes it takes longer to stop, but that is the nature of towing a trailer.
