So, I got hosed, sort of.

[DBCooper]

I have a meeting tomorrow with Dealer over my mis-ordered (not) REBEL 12. I am trying to Re-order another and will post if I can find anything out from dealer on availability.

 

[jimk hunt]

Order another truck, keep the wife!

 

[DBCooper]

Thanks! Yes that's very appropriate in this instance. She's not happy with the botched order.

My dealer was checking again today on AZ5 package. Still no word.

 

[DBCooper]

Thanks! Good to know.

 

[Mesteve]

I had confirmation that AZ5 is NOT available at this time, but no indication of future availability.

No matter what truck you end up with...Your real gift is having a wonderful wife!

This. My wife did the same thing but she wanted me to choose the truck I wanted. She just called me up and said, babe, let’s go get your truck.” Sh**, you don’t have to tell me twice.

This is a bummer... did the dealer confirm by trying to order or did they speak to someone at the mothership? Tried to order a Rebel 12 tonight and the dealer built it the same way as the OP posted. Called Ram customer care to see what's up and then found this thread.

I met with the dealer over the Mis-ordered rebel and he said he had heard rumblings that the AZ5 will come back with a revamp including the advanced safety group for REBEL but no time specified. I ended up ordering a loaded limited with No E-torque , added off-road, trailer brake controller, Ram boxes and a few other things. He also said they were having trouble finding enough rail cars to ship west. I did look at all the panoramic glass trucks on the lot and all of them had properly seated drain tube grommets so hopefully they are getting assembly issues straightened out. He told me possibly 3 months for delivery.

Now you really hosed yourself, Rebel trim is the best looking trim before anything. Your wife knows best so it turns out.

Exactly the same build as my truck. You'll like it. The Limited is a damn fine ride.

I sat in a limited on the lot and it is actually nicer than my Platinum. I was surprised.

 

[19Jake]

sat in a Ram Limited...nicer than my Platinum

surprised?

 

[UnLimited]

Ram Limited out shines even F150 Limited - and their version of the blue interior is pathetic. I think Ford is going back to the tan/back option or '19.

The 2019 F-150 Limited has a super-light color scheme (see pictures here), so it might not wear well. But it looks much better than the Navy Pier. And the Raptor engine is awesome. But it's gone up in price; it now stickers out at $75K if you option it up. The problem for me isn't price as much as an interior that—despite the nice materials—feels a little "plain Jane" and/or dated.

bin there
10spd tranny also sucks

Hey, I was trying to be nice

 

[DBCooper]

surprised?

I was surprised. My Platinum rides like a lumber wagon and the seats are uncomfortable. Didn't drive the Limited but couldn't possibly be worse. The Limited interior was very nice, much more so than the Ford which I paid almost 10k more for. The ford has been a good truck and no warranty take-ins to the dealer but it is a little thin on the higher tech trim and finish.

 

[DBCooper]

I have to say I am eager to get the limited. My FCA experience hasnt been too good. 18 loaded Pacifica with a completely dead steering wheel. It would steer, everything else dead. 4 weeks. '18 300C blew all the coolant @ 300 miles.
I do have a 17 Jeep renegade that hasn't been in the shop yet so fingers crossed on the Limited.

Did you remember to order the 33 gal tank? It is really a necessity if traveling much. I am sure they can modify order if you missed it.
