2025 Rebel X: With all the issues posted I just wanted to chime in and say 6k miles now and dealer just did first oil change. I tow a bay boat around 160 miles once or twice per month.
1). Zero Battery Issues
2). No check Engine light since the first one that popped up at 400 miles for a misfire.
3). No blue-screeen on my back up camera that occurred a few months ago.
4). All my boat trailer lights work after swapping to LED Bulbs.
5). Dash has never went black.
6). No third brake light leaks.
7). No leaks in sliding back glass or sunroof.
8). No pulling to the right or shaking.
9). Love this trundle have zero complaints thus far with my purchase.
Maybe I'm lucky 😀
 
Nice to hear someone actually happy and enjoying their truck. Like you, I have a 2025 Rebel X and after approximately 3K miles I could not be happier and have yet to (knock on wood) have any issues. I have leveled it, added running boards, new tires and wheels and a bed cover. Great truck so far.
 
I just did my first oil change and was greeted with a factory installed partially stripped oil pan. The plug tightens snug but had a thread of aluminum when I broke it loose on the plug. It did not just spin right back on either. I am just hoping it was the way it was machined and will work its way loose or I am in for an oil pan on this one. I am sure the dealer will blame me. Should have had the dealer do the oil change.

Exactly. I think I’m going to get the master tech involved at the dealer and let him know what happened and see what he says. I couldn’t have been the only one. I can’t imagine a new oil pan being cheap. The part, yes but seeing that the wagoneer is an 8 hour job. Oh boy
