Great finds. It's good seeing the lower trim levels getting good reviews as well. It just reinforces my belief that FCA did a very good job with these trucks, I strongly believe the Big Horn offers enough for 80-80% of people when going through the options list and does it without looking cheap as many lower end trucks do.

Thanks Bob, et al, for the many videos, though I have not had time to watch them all. The one I want to see most is the Rebel vs. the Raptor. I suspect the DT has closed the gap and I expect the TRX will rip it open.I do wish the auto side steps were available on the Rebel though as I like that feature (I don't believe they are). That reminds me of what I was fond of James Bond for back in the day. Can get both dirty, greasy and filthy on a mission, and the very next day be in black tie attire commiserating as an upper echelon socialite at millionaire (now billionaire) mansion parties. No reason the Rebel can't be the James Bond of trucks. That would be perfect - the same truck that I can fly around in off road and take the wife out dancing in (sometimes on the same day!).Tubular side steps are available though and that will work.I wonder how much Prefix would charge to add paddle shifters? The trans can handle it. It's probably better that I don't know . . .

at 37MPH.....should be like that Hellcat doing 150MPH on the highway for high speed.
Did pretty good for a stock vehicle. A few scraps on front and back.

At 21 mins the headlights are flashing is that just the camera or something else.
Hmmm wonder if you can get it from the factory with the 2 inch lift like on the Red BigHorn.

I love this Rebel. By far my favorite 1500 truck ever...although a 1979 Macho Powerwagon is a real close second.

This is what a truck is supposed to do. It should haul all the stuff I got, works well as a daily, and will get the family to any geocache we could be looking for.

Really making it hard to decide between a Tradesman Powerwagon and this.

A good problem to have

I finally had time to watch all the videos posted here. Wow . . . very well done. My only gripe was the lack of paddle shifters on the Rebel, but that was before I was aware that there are buttons on the steering wheel for manual gear selection. I want one. I've just got about $30,000 of high interest debt to get rid of though. I was debating whether to wait and save for a TRX or buy now and trade up when the TRXs come out. These reviews changed my mind. Now it is down to the financials.I think these trucks are going to do very well in the market place. The Longhorn and Limited are gorgeous trucks. I'd still go for the Rebel (though I will miss the 12" screen that is not available on that model - I would gladly pay more for that option).This is a great truck. I can't wait to get one.

JUST ONE ? Thought you needed 3 - 1500, 2500, and 3500

Hmm, what's the quickest way to come up with another 5 grand ? Hit a casino ? Buy a bunch of rub-off cards from the gas station ? Help me out here . . . !

All is GOOD, thanks for caring (?) enough to "suggest"

Yea, seems like EVERY-BODY under the sun is wanting to be a YouTube "STAR" these days . . . sometimes you have to be careful which ones you choose to click on . . . you know the ones . . . like they are "spelled like in Russian" or" Swahili" or ? I'll stick with MIKE, and ALEX . . . maybe 1 or 2 others + what YOU come up with here !

I'm very impressed with the quality of reviews I've seen. Even more impressive are the trucks being reviewed.
