    My experience, so far

    I also have the rattle, dealer says it's normal. It may be but it shouldn't be.

    The wave

    Nope... for me "the wave" is a wrangler or motorcycle thing and that's the only vehicles I wave in. I never did it in my mustangs or any other car I have owned

    Loud Noise on Startup

    Same here since day one, now at 4200.

    Decisions, decisions...

    I traded my 18 Audi S5 sportback for my 19 rebel. I have owned tons of sports cars over the years but I was sick of having to borrow a truck for some things around the house. I also have a boat and picked up a couple of ATV's. I have owned this truck since February and have zero regrets.

    Honest Question On Those Red Seats...

    I have not heard a single negative about the rebel interior. I have a few GMC/Ford loyal friends that rave about the interior on the rebel. There is no question you will find some that don't like red interiors but even then it's hard to knock the rebel interior.

    Deionized Water Car Wash System

    I have a crspotless simple chuck system. It's a bit pricey but I can wash my truck normally then flip the valve to rinse using the crspotless in direct sun and I never have to dry. My water isn't too bad here in NH but I do have really high IRON.

    MDS at Idle?

    I can tell you the Kia Telluride does not. Most vehicles have level 1 that is basic driver assistance. The tesla is between 2 and 3 and that's why it can restart. Even my 18 S5 is only between 1-2. It all has to do with the equipment installed on the vehicle. Level 0 – No Automation. This...

    MDS at Idle?

    Yeah, my Audi and my wife's Subaru does this. I wouldn't be surprised if it was some sort of federal regulation.

    Quiet A/T tire?

    All true AT tires are going to have some noise and the duratracs are surprisingly quiet. I have also had good luck with BFG and Toyo but they are so close you would have to run them back to back to hear any difference. If you are not happy with duratrac's you are not going to be happy with any...

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    Now that the weather is a little warmer low 40's at night and upper 50's during the day my MPG is going up. My last couple of tanks I have taken the exact routes to work and tried to drive the same way. I have filled with 87 and averaged 17.4 hand calculated for the first tank then I used 89 and...

    New Ram

    Great another red plate to clog up the fast lane up here on 93 :)

    Any risk to leaving the dealer plastic on the glove box door?

    For sale, Ram Truck with pristine glove box still in original wrapper :)

    Had a scary experience

    My 18 Audi s5 has done it several times. More when backing up but I have been traveling down the road and it locks them up and the car has 6 piston Bremo's so it's a hash stop. I have only had it happen in reverse so far in the Ram.

    12.2 MPG after first 1,000 miles

    That could be several MPG right there. 0 MPG does a number on your average.

    Rust protection and ceramic coating, is it worth it?

    It all depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for something that will keep a decent shine and bead for a couple of years ceramic is a solid choice. But don't be fooled into thinking that it is better at protecting the paint from scratches or swirls because you will be...

    12.2 MPG after first 1,000 miles

    19 rebel average over 1500 miles is 16.3 calculated. I figure as the weather warms up it will get a little better. 90% of my driving is on 40 mph back roads.

    Orange Peel

    Yup and honestly I buy every two years and I don't remember a late model that doesn't. Even my 18 Audi S5 does just not as bad. My last Mustang was so bad you would swear you could feel it rubbing the paint.

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    The weather warming up will change your MPG so it will be difficult to monitor 89 octane. I don't use remote start often but my mileage is going up anyway because with the warm weather the truck doesn't need to stay in a cold start loop as long. Plus if you are in an area where winter fuel is...

    Fair Price?

    At the end of the day, it is if you are happy with it. Some will get better deals but there are a ton of factors that play into pricing. If the dealer is looking to move a truck, trade or desirable options on a truck. Those look like decent numbers so don't try to compare to others and decide if...
