    Bed cover for RAM 2024 1500 Rebel GT

    I have a 2023 Rebel... traditional tailgate. However, I think my solution might work for you. Installed a SENTRY Truxedo rollback cover; then added Putco side rails which allows you to add cross bars and adapter for your ski rack/bike rack (or any device that would otherwise fit on top of an...

    Radio jumping channels at random

    This is one of the most useful comments I've seen on the site. I had a 2018 and had exactly the same channel jumping issue with a delaminated screen. I wish knew about this approach much sooner.. Thanks for the post.

    Getting an appointment for dealer service

    Dealerships I've used in the Northeast for my 2018 Big Horn varied a great deal in responsiveness as well as capability and willingness to do Warranty work. Oil changes and other scheduled maintenance were ok and usually within a week. However, mine developed a squeak/thump when going over...

    What kind of mileage are you getting with a Hemi and 3.92 gears?

    I just returned from a 2100 mile road trip. I'd say I averaged 70 to 75 mph (mostly 4 lane highways). Looking at the dash that offers mpg it ran between 18 and 18.3) on those highways that were up and down many hills and curves in PA, KY, TN. BTW: a new 2023 RAPTOR that had 4,000 miles at...

    Best Hard Retractable Bed Cover

    I provide this info for anyone trying to choose among roll-up hardcovers even though this thread seems to have come to an end. I had a Roll-n-Lock on my Toyota Tacoma which worked well and provided nice security and dry bed. The downsides are the sapping of bed space because they are not easy...

    Question on TruXedo Pro x15 bed cover?

    My Truxedo instructions say the preferred tailgate closure is to lift the end of the cover (as if you were starting to roll it up)... then close the tailgate and finally lower the cover with the flap resting on the top of the tailgate. This method keeps water out of my bed. Hope you have a...

    Ram Rust Warrenty

    "any FCA vehicle sold in Ontario, the rust warranty is void due to all the crap used on the roads" is really harsh and unconscionable by the company and dealership. Did you do the undercoating? How is it working out?

    Upgrading from a Big Horn to Rebel

    I traded my 2018 Big Horn for a 2023 REBEL for the wheels, tires, suspension and looks. The dealer sold it for $7K under MSRP and gave Kelley Blue Book for trade-in. I was satisfied with the deal and the new truck. Happy Hunting.

    Heated Seats

    I have a 2023 with perforated vinyl seats which take up to 5 minutes to reach a nice warm temp. I feel it more in my back than in my seat . It feels good as my back often feels quite stiff w/o the heat. I would not want it hotter.

    Recommendation for 2023 RAM Running Boards (crew cab)

    I have the AMP Power steps on my 2023 RAM REBEL and love them much better than the static running boards that came with my 2018 Big Horn. AMP sells an override switch for around $150 which was part of my installation. If you search the web for "amp research power step override switch" several...

    RAM CARES - Please Read - Quality, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

    I recently purchased a 2023 REBEL. I don't understand why RAM decided to stop putting full inner fenders on the trucks. My 2018 had them and they served quite well. On the 2023 RAM installs partial inner fender liners, but they are open on top allowing all sorts of debris to accumulate behind...

    Should I get the Ram Rebel 1500?

    I recently traded my 2018 Big Horn for a 2023 REBEL and couldn't be more pleased. You'll have to turn off the proximity sensors as they are touchy and alert to objects way before they need to. I suspect the taller tires will help you as will the skid plates. Good luck with your purchase!

    New to Ram! Need help with running boards and other things!

    What do you plan to do about the lack of inner fender liners? I just bought a 2023 leftover and was shocked to see RAM went cheap and the inner fenders are "an option". The only mod I've made this far are AMP power steps... really work great and don't spoil the look of the truck. Good luck...
