FYI, recently tried to order a 2024 2500 Rebel last week with the Diesel engine. I was told I could only order it with the "lunar package". That means a single color (their moon grey color or whatever it is) and it is only in a single color option. It also had black door handles and some...

Well here is an update. I got a good price, placed the order, and a few days later was told that the package that I built could not be ordered. So the deposit was refunded. According to the dealer all 2024 2500 Ram Rebels will only be sold with a "lunar package" for the rest of the 2024 year...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Some really good food for thought here. After some additional research and speaking with some guys about timing of the 2025's I am going to be placing an order tomorrow most likely. Props to Leopoldo from Chico for the reference to Robert Trachtman...

Thanks for all of the insight and the detailed reply. Living in Central Cali, there is not too much traffic and I often take trips to the bay area where it will see plenty of 70MPH speeds not to mention fishing trips to the mountains about an hour away again on freeway speeds and the off the...

His current one is a 2015 if that helps out. We put DEF in it every year on our 6,000+ mile trips. (where we are not towing anything at all) Is that a pre emission truck? I won't be off-roading it all the time, but it will get off the road and on the trail/in the dirt from time to time. Only...

Appreciate the input. FYI The diesel will cost 8,500 more (9k invoice price less the 5% discount on the vehicle comes to 8,500). Ive seen the same trucks (mileage wise) with diesels easily sell for 8-10k more than a gas counter part. Not to mention that they are way easier to sell. Not too...

I have sent then a build and await a quote. We will see what they do! Thank you.

I would shop if I could find anything close that has features that I want. Even finding a 2500 Rebel diesel without the airbags and sunroof alone seems to be an impossible task. I get that deals can be had on lot cars, but honestly if I am going to pay 70-80k for a vehicle, it is going to be...

Appreciate the advice but I am choosing the Cummins for resale value (used diesels in the central valley in CA sell like hot cakes if you can find one) and for the little bit of gas mileage savings I might get. Plus, if I bought a gasser Ram my father in law would probably shoot me and bury me...

Ok, that is pretty close to me. I will give him a call and see where they stand on the same build I am looking to buy. At least I will know if my local deal is decent. Appreciate the contact information.

Ok, my first post here. I am almost ready to pull the trigger on ordering a 2024 2500 Rebel with the Cummins diesel. I have already decided that this is the truck I want and will order it with the features I want. Here in CA my best deal from 10 different dealers is invoice. (plus any...
