Huh? I'm the one making assumptions? I'm not the automotive publication assuming the EPA rating on the Rebel sticker is for a Rebel configuration...then accusing a manufacturer of misleading their consumers.... Your part 3 video basically accuses Ram of fraud for not having an asterisk on the...

Thank you for responding and welcome to the site. "The Rebel has performed consistently less." than the other vehicles you have tested, which were configured MUCH MORE CLOSELY to the tested EPA configuration... I have been following and commenting on your site for some time, and i hope you...

22 to 17.87 is a 18.77% decrease 22 to 16.8 is a 23.6% decrease 40% below 22 would be 13.2....maybe that is your personal average? Research shows that fuel efficiency will decrease by at least 12% every 10 MPG over 50 MPH (its closer to 15% at speeds above 70). So that alone would mean having...

TFL did a horrendous job. They all but directly accuse Ram of misleading consumers, yet they are far more responsible in this scenario of misleading folks. EPA sticker states in plain english "Your results WILL vary". Not they may vary, but will. Why will they vary? Well, that is also stated...

LOL 16+ going 70 with MDS off and almost 18 with MDS on is exactly what you should expect from a rebel in Colorado. We've already establish the EPA rating on a rebels sticker is NOT for the rebel configuration....should be pretty easy to understand. Not to mention the EPA highway rating is...

This package is actually pretty interesting for me: Solves 2 problems i had with the 4th gen rebel 1. air suspension 2. no front bench seating Solve 2 problems i had with the 4th gen harvest edition 1. chrome bumpers 2. no sport hood Wonder if there will be any with ramboxes.... Now if they...

No. Fiat brand in NA is small cars (500, 500L, 500X, spider), Ram brand is not closely related. Different components, different manufacturing, different consumer (who will respond to surveys differently as well). Toyota and Lexus brands are much more closely related, with similar models that are...

For whatever reason. JD doenst have the full 2019 dependability report details on their site. However, look at which brands topped the list this year for 2016 model year. Full size = tundra and Midsized = Frontier. Those are the oldest, most out of date, and simplest offerings on the market in...

I wouldn't encourage it. Fourwheeler ended up in water just up to the bed floor and door seals leaked. http://www.fourwheeler.com/features/1901-second-report-2018-chevy-colorado-zr2-crew-cab/ I'm not surprised they sold out. Colorado is IMO the best midsized out there. They also only offered 2,000.

I wouldn't agree their reputation is getting worse. Its the 1st year of a brand new design, there will likely be minor growing pains, as any manufacturer experiences. This also isn't Ram's first try at building a truck...the brand is relatively new but dodge has a long history in this...

If you're talking JD Power, Ram is included. The 2018 dependability rankings would be for 2015 model year Ram trucks. I don't put a huge amount of stock in those rankings. If you look at 2016 rankings (2013 model year) Ram was very highly ranked. The next year (2017 rankings, 2014 model year)...

Did the Fiat brand get last, or the Ram brand? They are different, you know. Last one i saw Ram brand outperformed Ford. But if you want to put all your trust in a 90 day initial quality or a 3 year dependability survey of a few hundred customers out of hundreds of thousands of vehicles on the...

Could this news on the heels of Fords new 7.3 indicate Ram thinks Ford may bring that to the Raptor/F150...and that the 426 wouldn't compete well against it? I'll be very disappointed, if Ram goes turbo I6 and starves the 1500 of a large displacement V8

The article answers a bunch of questions. Much appreciated. My opinion - should have located the 60 swing handle under the taiilgate near the splice (similar to ridgeline). Reasoning: Could have allowed for a mechanical latch instead of electrical - so retrofit and potential on non-rambox...

http://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/02/chevrolet-discounts-all-new-2019-silverado-over-7000-february-2019/ This is a GM loving site....read the comments. When GM guys were laughing at Ram for being aggressive with incentives from the start I just sat back...waiting to see what Q1 2019...

And their incentive strategy proves it. Largest incentives only apply if you are a current GM owner, while Ram gives you the largest incentives if you own a competing brand...GM trying to retain current customers, missing the bigger picture. Many previous GM guys on this site provide the...

Actually the ridgeline is the only midsize to have at least 48" between the rear wheel wells in the bed...oddly enough. Too bad it looks like a minivan and rides crappy loaded. Recent motortend review...Tacoma last, then Ranger, then Ridgeline, then colorado. I probably agree with their...

Funny comment from GM engineer, regarding GM considering use of a barn door tailgate from GMauthority article: "When GM debuted the GMC MultiPro tailgate last year, the automaker indicated that it had considered a barn door opening tailgate like the Ram’s, but ultimately decided against it...

"GMC tailgates...a major hit to your ball" Ha

Primary concern is the 88 degree swing. It is a great price, though. Only $400 since it includes a spray on bedliner. Ram has best complete bed solutions with rambox, bed extender/diverder, and multifunction tailgate. I'm glad they advertised it that way Also it is available on every trim...
