Nice truck, so good to see people can treat themselves buying a vehicule. I love the interior and find the center console absolutely stunning. Don't like the last picture tho, so WTF??

It's the last of the Hemi powered trucks and of course it's burgundy. SPACE TRUCK! It sent me a text message on Wednesday asking if I meant to leave it unlocked.

I'm gonna miss my truck but I squeezed every dime out of it and I work hard and deserve a nice truck, dangit. Sorry for all the pics but I'm kinda (very) excited! Also, it hauls ass with a 3.92 rear gear and a 8-speed ZF gearbox. It's basically a Vantage.

Winner!

Thanks fellas! Appreciate it.

No, I have to let the wallet cool down and be good. I'm going to get some miles out of the tires before I level it and replace them. I just spent $1100 on side steps because I'm falling in and out of it. 1. side steps 2. windows tinted 3. new tonneau 4. 24" Magnaflow muffler 5. leveling kit 6. tires

Short box and I can give ya a Ram trifold soft tonneau here in a bit. It's a BIT pollened currently though


And Sports option is the only way to go on DTs, just look much better without the chrome compared to the DSs.

I cleaned up mine and it kinda fits but is an inch shorter than it should be.

While I've always been envious of your truck, it wasn't tell I was shopping for them when I realized what you did there. That's a very geeky order, we might just get along.

Yeah, she was a very particular order and most would call her a budget PowerWagon or Rebel. But PW are 80k and Rebels have a GOD AWFUL interior without getting the GT package. I haven't seen another Backcountry yet locally and they stopped it this year, Akins didn't even know what it was but were very interested when it showed up, had the GM come out to see her.

But I've got a few bits and bobs coming in for her, hopefully by Mitty time they'll be in and installed.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing it! I've got to get tires for the camper at minimum before the Mitty.

The Rebel is the best value Ram, imo. It looks great until you open the doors and you see the interior was designed by Guy Fieri. I told the salesman I wish they had a middle aged man edition Rebel. That's exactly what you created.
