Irony is the TFL guys just did a Rebel towing MPG test and it got better MPG towing 7k in the snow and in the mountains! Stock Rebel too. Rebel does much better on freeways. I get around 10.5 now, all suburb, short-trip driving. They were higher than that towing on the freeway in bad weather. So...
Is it a noticeable difference when backing up at night in the camera with these? I redid my wife's car with almost the same ones and it's not unbelievably better but it's more white instead of red which is probably better in the long run.
It's almost like idling (especially remote start) is like flooring it. If I am early on after resetting the MPG calculator, I can sit there in a parking lot and watch the MPG average decline. It's insane.
That's a 2018. I assume he was talking about the new ones, the 2019. Also not having heat but having power folding is even dumber than not having either almost.
Yeah, it's shockingly better at night. It's almost blinding. I didn't realize they didn't come on when backing up so I was expecting better illumination on reverse...I also didn't realize it was a pain to change out the rear reverse bulbs and not as simple as the 3rd brake light/CHMSL. I don't...
That's a great point. Even a new truck not broken in driving in the city should get MUCH better MPG than the same truck (his had 3k miles only also, so it's new too) towing 7400 lbs in mountainous areas in snow with some 4WD used! Combination of impressive towing MPG and poor non honestly it...
I get 10.5 also. Got all the TSBs done, top tier gas (89), NEVER mash the accelerator and drive conservatively, 95% stop and go, short trip suburb city driving.
I was doing the math that if it got 15 MPG, I would be ecstatic. So let's compare with analysis to make me feel better about my 10.5...
I used these https://amzn.to/2G71DsB and it was also very simple plug and play and much brighter. Just make sure to seat the plastic back in nicely to avoid leaks into the cab. FWIW, these are 2000 lumens and the others posted were 1550, both of which are much brighter than stock so not sure if...
We are all tracking this. I meant all black TOW MIRRORS are unheated, not all black mirrors. I fully realize had I not gotten tow mirrors, I'd have your mirrors (as I want). I will live. First world problems, I am very aware.
Maybe they learned the lesson and gave the 26 gallon tank to newer builds. This is the problem with being an early adopter. You get it first but you don't get the benefit of the lessons learned.
Few threads on this already. I will save you the time: some say it matters (like me), some say it doesn't. Both sides have tested it. I am of the opinion if they ask you to put in 89, it's better for the engine (certainly long-term). I noticed an improvement in fuel economy too.
Good call. I think the 26 was something the dealer could order somehow or it came with the eTorque early on as you said. I think they switched to 23 for eTorque and 26 for non as we already discussed earlier so they'd have similar ranges since the eTorque was supposed to get better MPG.
Every other Ram 1500 trim has much better fuel economy tires and usually gets better fuel economy. The Rebel is only unique in the 1" lift (same as the ORP on other trims), which isn't going to crush fuel economy as much as the tires I'd imagine. It is no wonder the Rebel gets the worst fuel...
