As the title suggests, I'm considering replacing my 2022 with a 2025 Rebel. I'm particularly dissatisfied with the Etorque's performance, and my frustration is compounded by the Uconnect system randomly displaying the ' Service Uconnect' box message. This issue persists despite RAM having replaced all the parts twice. I love the sound of the 5.7, especially after having installed the GT exhaust. I also added proximity entry, rain-sensing wipers, and a few other programming mods. I do wish I had adaptive cruise control, vented seats, and heated rear seats. Of course, a slightly better MPG would be beneficial too, but I'm not sure if the 3.0 is that much better, if at all.
I was working on a deal for a Tundra, but that fell through. When I really thought about it, the Ram interior was much nicer, and the 3.0 I test-drove was pretty nice, except for some funky slow-speed shifts that did worry me, considering how much I dislike my Etorque.
I'm not necessarily looking for advice; I'm just mulling over the two options. The 3.0 is new, and the bugs seem not to have been worked out. I have found a Rebel somewhat locally that has everything I would want in it, so there is that staring me in the face. Additionally, the dealer offers a relatively straightforward lifetime powertrain warranty. No unusual requirements that I see, such as needing to be serviced by them; just a licensed shop. I am the person responsible for performing the required maintenance as outlined in the manual, which is all that is necessary. If there is a warranty claim, and I am more than 50 miles away I can take it to any dealer for that claim. I'm not sure how the payment process works, so I will have to find that out. I was hoping the 2026 5.7 wouldn't include the eTorque, but alas, it does. What's a boy to do?
