The Journey of my Rebel

44stevenson · Jun 17, 2015

Since I'm able to track the status of the 2016 Ram Rebel I ordered, I thought I would post updates on here to give you guys an idea of what to expect if you order a vehicle.

I ordered my 2016 Rebel on June 11th.

On 06/16 My truck received a VIN number and is scheduled to be built now. It looks like mine may be the 186th off the line, guessing from the VIN which ends in 100186.

Awesome, glad to have one of the first owners here reporting in on their journey, looking forward to the updates.

Looks like my 2016 Rebel got assembled yesterday and is in paint today. Hope to have it within 2-3 weeks!

My Rebel was the 751,391st off the line in 2015.....interesting. That's a lot of vehicles pumped out!

is there something in the VIN that denotes them as Rebels? or just regular 1500 VINS

Congrats! I bet you're getting more and more anxious haha! How long did they quote the build time? I'm going to place an order next week I think... When I stopped by the dealer today, I was told they'd take 6-8 weeks... another dealer said 10-12 weeks

6-8 weeks is pretty common

My 2016 Rebel hit the ground today, took it home and it has an appointment tomorrow for tint, spray in bedliner, AMP running boards and a Peragon tonneau cover. After i sell my old vehicle i plan to do a 4" BDS lift with 18" beadlocks and 35" tires.

I think that says your RAM is the 100,186th off the line....there's no specific identifier for Rebel's.....but I hope I'm wrong.

Pretty sure the the VIN has nothing to do with which number it was off the line.

Absolutely nothing, my 16 delivered @ the end of August, it went down the line right behind the 2015 models right after the changeover shutdown.

Yesterday I got round 1 of my modifications done: AMP Power step running boards, gatorhide spray in bed liner, a Peragon tonneau cover (which is awesome) and had all of my windows tinted.

Can you post up pictures of your mods and what's on the list for round 2?

muskymike1 · Oct 2, 2015

Yes pictures please. This helps everyone else with decisions for their own modes.

I'm especially interested in seeing that Peragon tonneau cover, thanks!
