Got my truck July 18, 2016, everything was great, love the ride of this truck. Fast forward to December, transmission begins to shift funny from 1st to 2nd gear. Took it into my dealer, they said was more than likely a software glitch, and flashing it would fix problem, called next day was told it didnt work and they were going to try to relearn it (whatever that means) Next day was told that didnt fix it either, and it needed a new transmission ( 3412 miles ) Asked for rental for second time was told to contact customer care, was told they don't provide rentals for warranty repair, back to dealer next day, after a nice argument with service dept I was again denied a rental, so took my complaint to showroom floor, and was finally put in a rental car. Now after having my truck for nearly 2 weeks, no work has even begun on my truck. Beyond irritated, Chrysler apparently could care less about customers, cant wait to get it back so I can begin looking to trade it in........ Lesson learned, LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT I WILL EVER PURCHASE.....

I've always been a car guy but I live in a huge city with crappy roads and even worse drivers and a mediocre public transit system. Sitting up high with a suspension that can handle mute the cracks and bumps is really nice. I like sitting up high and i'm impressed by the outward visibility in my truck even versus my '08 Altima (which also was very good). The fuel economy is less than advertised but still ok for a full-sized truck. I will probably upgrade the intake and exhaust system after a year or so, just to see what difference it makes. The interior is impressive and the infotainment system (UConnect) is really cool, very intuitive to use. The only things I didn't get that I wanted were keyless ignition (I had that on my 8-yr old Altima) and blind spot monitors. Other than that I'm really happy with my purchase and got a great deal on the Lone Star package (almost $10k under MSRP).

The MPG on the Rebel is quite low. Only problem I can find with this truck. I'm averaging 14.5 combined right now. Everything else about the truck is fantastic. It is the best ruck I ever owned. I love the interior quality and the ride comfort the most! Oh and the Alpine sound system upgrade is totally worth the extra $300. It a must have if you listen to music in the car.

Too early to comment on reliability but after a month there are no issues. Buying experience was fairly pleasant thanks to the Edmunds price quotes; I'd never walk into a dealer again with out them. The Rebel took a bit to get used to driving as I went from an Acura RL but now I enjoy the ride.

I can't believe Ram engineers haven't fixed the rear brake line clearance problem. S class chains are recommended for the rear but even S class cables came down within 1/4 inch of the brake line when I tried a set of Z cables. Wake up Ram. I did get standard chains in a narrower width that don't wrap so far down the sidewalls but a simple change of the angle the brake lines leave the rear calipers would seem to solve the problem. Did the bailout put government engineers in charge at Ram. I just can't understand why real truck engineers would not design a truck to take standard style chains. Update; I still think the chain clearance issue is ridiculous. I am happy with the ride and comfort. 4WD and the anti spin diff seem to work fine. Plowed through about 18 inches of snow in the Yosemite campground not thinking about the front air dam but it survived just fine (snow was soft). Best MPG so far 21.6 by dividing gallons into miles. The computer shows about 2 mpg better than what I actually get. Most highway trips with mixed terrain I'm getting right at 20 MPG, mixed highway city gives about 17 MPG. I think on a maxi mileage test, flat road 55-60 mph it might go 23-24 mpg. The 21.6 mpg tank full was running 65-70 on hwy 395 from Death Valley (-200 feet) to Gardnerville ( 4000 ft) with Nevada gas, not the excuse for fuel we get in California.
