2022 1500 Rebel + GT = Ventilated seats?

[Whiskeymike]

I’m working with my dealer on a build and they haven’t been able to confirm yet. But ventilated comes with the GT, so it looks like you might get ventilated seats by adding GT to the Rebel.

anyone able to confirm yet?

 

[McBroom]

Following.
I'm thinking about the GT also. I haven't made up my mind though. I've got a lonestar 2wd now don't need 4x4 but want an upper trim level. My previous truck was an 18 tradesman 2500 4x4. Way more than I needed.

I read that it doesn't come on Rebel. Makes no sense

No ventilated seats on Rebel regardless of options chosen.

There was a rebel gt at the Chicago auto show a couple weeks ago. You can find several videos on youtube if you want close ups of the interior. Didn't watch them enough to see what features are unique to the GT on the rebel.

for other replies, I know cooled seats not available on Rebel prior to GT.

regarding videos from auto show, watchEd a few, a couple times. Unfortunately, the features they go over is very small.

But…. On the Rebel with GT in the video, the seats are the GT seat with GT embroidery. When they do a closeup, the leather in middle of seat is perforated.

I’m hopeful.

the leather on my 2020 Rebel is perforated...don't take that to mean ventilated.

Did you watch the video? Are the seats the same Design as Rebel, except for GT embroidery?

Its never been available. But I’m hopeful that in this case, since they are GT seats in the Rebel GT, and since the GT package includes ventilated seats, I’m hopeful that this combination nets no more swamp ***.

I guess we’ll see.

I did not watch the video - just offering the insight that seeing 'vented' does not equate to having vented seats. Although I thought I read in a thread somewhere long ago that Rebel would be optioned with ventilated rear seats. Not sure of year or config but could swear I read that.

Just watched the video - looks like the same seats that I have in my truck. Mine or not ventilated.

Not that it is an indication of ventilated seats, but the guy from Ram says in this video around 1:10 mark the seats are different than standard rebel (more bolstering and essentially a reskinned TRX seat).

Two dealers today confirmed that when you get the GT package on top of a Rebel, it comes with the ventilated GT seats. A third is going to ask their FCA rep tomorrow.

At this point it's obviously still speculation. I've read a couple different articles about the new GT package, and both specifically said the package comes with ventilated sets except on the Rebel. I still don't understand why they've never been available on the Rebel.

This is my main issue. You could have said ventilated seats were a $1000 option only available by itself on the Rebel, and I wouldn't have even considered the extra expense. It would have been added instantly. Getting in a black leather truck when it's 105 outside is brutal, and I'd pay a significant amount of money to have that from the factory. I'm still tempted to do what another user did and buy some Laramie seats, swap the covers, and run all the electronics.

I believe it's Mopar's Cat Back Exhaust which I believe is this - https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-cat-back-exhaust-77072520aa?c=az0x

The GT package is mostly made up of Mopar add on items like the bright metal pedals, cold air intake... There's a youtube video with this on it and it sounds great imo.

Rebel with GT DOES NOT have ventilated seats.

 

[Finn5033]

Is there any way to get a rebel with cloth seats?
