Debating between the Rebel and my current 1500
Hey all!
I currently have a 2010 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7L with over 100K miles on it. It is well maintained and runs great. But, the Rebel is a huge draw to me. I have changed the shocks to the Bilsteins and I've done a bunch of small mods to it over time. It really comes down to finishing paying off my current truck vs. paying $56K for a new truck. I do about 90% of my driving on roads/highways and the other 10% on dirt roads or off-road. I also tow a travel trailer during the summer.
At least the wife is enthusiastic about the Rebel, too!

Gramps is loving the Raptor but the Ram looks like a more reasonable daily driver.Not too radical. No overkill.

Suspension should be fantastic. Hope you get one one day.

That's kind of what I was thinking. The air suspension would probably be a good fit for what I do.
If you were practical you would keep your 1500 and maybe install air bags on your suspension. But when you see the new RAM ,it's a WOW & all practicability goes out the window. We are all the same. Work hard & play hard. We are only here for a visit.That's kind of what I was thinking. The air suspension would probably be a good fit for what I do.

I had a 2013 ram sport! Loved everything about it! Probably the best truck I ever had! ( I've owned a 97, 2001, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2013 ram trucks.) when I saw the rebel in the dodge parking lot I had to have it! Bought it that day! This truck is amazing.
You said your wife liked the Rebe, right??? Happy wife, happy life. Rebel's the way to go!
I refinanced my 2012 Ram a month ago to remove my dad's name from the loan, Swore to my mom I was keeping it till the wheels fell off. I never even made a payment yet on the refinance. Then I saw a Rebel on the road when I was on vacation... I came home from vacation last Saturday, on Monday I pulled back into the driveway with my Rebel. Do not regret it one bit. It's an amazing truck and makes me smile every time I get into it.
CHIEF! Get on it and get that REBEL!Hey all!

Welcome to the forum! As you read through the posts you will find nobody here regrets this purchase. This truck is proven to increase testosterone production. And testosterone makes man smile!
