Ram rebel with rambox5/8/2023 ![]() Its unique design can both fold like a regular tailgate, and swing outward in a 60/40 configuration. ![]() Our truck came with the slick multi-function tailgate too. The hidden storage bins under the floor mat are also great for carrying small items like emergency tools or a trailer hitch ball. The seats fold up towards the back wall, providing a good amount of interior cargo space on the load floor, and there's an available 40-liter storage space under the rear seats. When you go for the Crew Cab, you get a second row with enough space for three tall adults, along with plenty of room to spread out. The gigantic 12" touchscreen at center stage is like having an iPad built into your dashboard, and has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. There's also a plethora of thoughtful storage in here, including a capacious center console with a sliding double-decker tray, and jumbo sized door pockets. The interior of RAM trucks are arguably the best in the business, and the Rebel is no exception, with comfy and supportive leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather trim on the dashboard and doors, and Rebel and RAM's head detailing throughout. The side steps are useful for getting in and out, though we'd rather have rock rails for heavy duty off-roading. These give the pickup a tough and powerful stance, while also protecting the bottom edge of the truck from scratches and dings. We love the black lower body cladding and trim elements on the Rebel as well. The air suspension helps ride quality with or without a payload, and can also lower the truck by about 2" for easier entry and exit. The air suspension can lift the truck up to 2" over the normal ride height, increasing ground clearance up to 10.2" as well as improving approach, departure, and ramp breakover angles, which all means more off-road agility. This offers several useful features in addition to smoothing out the ride even further than the standard coil springs. On top of the smooth-riding 5-link rear suspension is an optional, but highly-recommended 4-corner air suspension. The truck also has an electronic locking rear differential, so you can ensure that power goes equally to all wheels when you need it. ![]() We had a blast as we zoomed around in loose dirt and rocks in 4WD High mode, then dropped into 4WD Low for some of the trickier trails with muddy ruts and steep grades. There are skid plates located under the front suspension, transfer case, and fuel tank to protect the bottom of the truck from rocks and debris, and of course you must go with the 4-wheel drive version if you plan on hitting the trails. The RAM 1500 Rebel comes kitted out for off-road handling - riding on knobby 33" tires, wrapped around 17" rims for maximizing sidewall coverage. Combined with the optional 33-gallon fuel tank, this RAM will travel more than 950 highway miles on a tank. The ZF 8-speed automatic transmission is still one of the best and most reliable on the market, offering smooth, predictable shifts that happen almost as quickly as a dual-clutch gearbox. Our truck was equipped with the powerful 3rd-gen turbodiesel, which not only offers outstanding fuel economy (we got right around 29 mpg on the highway), but cranks out massive amounts of torque - 480 lb-ft., which is 70 more than even the big V8 can muster. The RAM 1500 can be outfitted with a 3.6-liter V6 gas engine, a 5.7-liter HEMI V8, or a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. ![]()
