Hi all. Just ordered a 2016 Rebel. Granite 2 tone, with all options except rear defrost and daytime running lights (dealer said they were fleet only at this time).

 

[Delta]

sweet welcome to the boards! Do you have delivery date for the 2016's then?

 

[Maverick]

That should be a ton of fun. I'm sure that a fully-loaded version was a little costly, but its nice to have everything so you get the full experience. When do you expect it to arrive?

And what kind of driving are you planning on doing with it once you get your hands on it?

 

[test123]

quick question for you, as I am planning on order mine beginning of next month. When you ordered it what options did they have you "add". Now that the configurator is live on rams website it shows that most of the options are listed as standard features for the rebel, which is what they said would be the case originally. But the configurator is a little screwy for the rebel right now so I am wondering what is correct. Thanks!

oh and if its like any of the other dodge/ram cars you can turn on DRL's in the EVIC.

Welcome to the forum!

Hey welcome to the forum!! how long's your wait?

 

[rdz418]

Hi all. I'll try to answer most of the questions asked. Expected delivery was estimated for the end of September. I was not able to get the rear window defrost or daytime running lights, as they are slated as fleet only at the time I ordered. I put a call into Ram on this, as the dealer did not know why and I am waiting to hear back from them.

As for added options - 5.7 Hemi, Luxury Group, Rear Camera & Park assist, Protection Group (which I think would be standard on an off-road truck), Remote start & security, Anti spin Diff, 32 gal fuel tank, Power Sunroof, Spray-in bedliner, 8.4 with Nav, Single Disc CD, Keyless GO, Rambox Cargo Management, Tonneau cover and Rebel Instrument Cluster(again I think this should be standard).

Too bad with the Rambox RAM hasn't changed anything about it in relation to how secure it is, I bet it's lack of security is discouraging some buyers from getting it.

 

[test123]

Thanks for the reply. Yeah thats what I was wondering too. Per the statements from the ram release events its supposed to come with the ram console, protection group, tonneau cover etc in the package. hope they didnt screw you by adding options it doesn't need. I plan to grill the heck out of them on this before I order mine.

what do you mean you couldn't get DRL's? They're federal law????

Did your dealer happen to have one or more Rebels on the lot for you and others to check out?

Been noticing some of them doing just that.

 

[test123]

no but going next friday to talk to them and maybe put in my order

 

[test123]

just got a response from ram so i will share it.

Welcome to the forum.

 

[RAMageddon]

That's a great reply from them and seems like they responded all in good timing as well.

Did they happen to give a turn around time as to when the fix will come around for the site?

 

[test123]

yeah they responded in about two days which was nice. There was some other stuff I cut out about contacting them by phone if I wanted but nothing about when they expected the changes to be made. I am not sure I would say its a great response as they simply responded to the specific items I gave as examples in my email and NONE of the other bad options they list but as I understand it, included in the base price you get 1. the style 2. the air suspension. Anything else you want is an option you will have to pay for.
