    Diesel Rebel owners - How is your economy? How's your truck?

    That's way better MPG than me with my ED. Speed limit here is 75, I'm always doing 80. I'm 12k miles in now I think or close to it. but I don't have anywhere that the speed limits are really that low that I drive on for any length of time. I'm pretty much up and down I-35 through Texas and...

    Diesel Rebel owners - How is your economy? How's your truck?

    I have done quite a bit of research and talked to several 1500 owners both rebel and non. I also have an ecodiesel Jeep Wrangler that the dealership loaned me while they fix one of my back doors (it's hard to shut) on my 2021 ED. I can tell you that this wrangler is interesting. The 3.0 ED in...

    Diesel Rebel owners - How is your economy? How's your truck?

    Could be but I would think the diesel at 1500 rpm would be way better than 2200rpm or so that it’s at. With current gearing you get 1500 rpm or so at 60 and 2200 at 80-85. Aero surely plays its part but I think they may have left some mpg on the table with gearing.

    Diesel Rebel owners - How is your economy? How's your truck?

    Yes I have same thing. Gearing is **** in these. If I go 60mph I get great mpg. At 80-85 it’s garbage. In TX we have 80mph speedlimits on some freeways.

    Snowmaggedon in Texas vs. 2020 Rebel

    My ‘21 Diesel had to be plugged in but my Rebel did great in 4wd auto. I drove 200 miles on Thursday through dfw and had few issues. Great in the snow!

    Rebel trim over big horn offroad package?

    I didn’t get it for just the fuel economy. I put 50-55k a year on a vehicle. Will be nice to keep something a few years. The diesels should last a while before complete engine failure. I am sure some of the less loaded ecodiesels get better mpg. Maybe the fuel econ differential would be greater...

    Diesel Rebel owners - How is your economy? How's your truck?

    Don’t believe the haters. The ecodiesels should last a while lots of reputable diesel builders helped build these. I have a hard loaded 2021 ecodiesel. I get 20-21 going 80 with cruise control on for hundreds of miles. With favorable wind and a light load I can get 23-24 mpg. I use about a...

    2021 Ram 1500 Rebel Night Edition Lands In Dealer Showrooms:

    I setup an alert on cars.com saw Platinum Chrysler put one up in Terrell, Tx. Looked at the build sheet and their price and said heck yes I would pay that lol be there tomorrow.

    Rebel trim over big horn offroad package?

    Slower for sure than a hemi. The hemi feels fast. The diesel doesn’t feel slow at all but is adequate and has loads of torque at any rpm. The engine is super quiet. You can tell its a diesel outside the truck, but not from inside. No turbo lag in these gen 3 diesels like they had in the gen 1...

    Rebel trim over big horn offroad package?

    Oh i got it at Platinum Chrysler in Terrell, Tx. Never bought there before but they gave me the internet price, no markup, no funny business. The price was the price and I didn’t even argue it was the best deal in many many states and the only diesel with the options i wanted. I found a 2020...
