RAM Rebel truck
The Ram Rebel is a full-size pickup truck made by FCA US LLC (formerly Chrysler Group LLC). The Rebel is a new model for 2015. It has a new grille and tailgate which are different than the regular Ram Trucks.[1] The Ram 1500 Rebel is not just a decal package. It is designed for use both on-road and off-road. The Rebel has features that are standard that would otherwise have to be added by the owner for off-road performance.
Features
The Rebel is available only in the 1500 (half-ton) truck series. It features a blacked-out grille with a large "RAM" letter badge. It stands out as being very different from the RAM truck's iconic "cross-hair" design grilles.[1] Standard equipment includes an off-road powder coated front bumper, skid plates, tow hooks and fog lights.[1] It has projector headlamps with LED marker lights.[1] The aluminum sports hood is distinct to the Rebel.[1]
The Rebel is standard with an air suspension that rides higher than other RAM 1500s.[2] It has new 17-inch aluminum wheels with black accents.[2] It comes with 33-inch (LT285/70R17E) Toyo Open Country A/T all-terrain tires, Bilstein shock absorbers, and has a different steering and stability-control system than a stock RAM.[2]
Powertrains
The standard engine in the Rebel is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that makes 310 horsepower, 269 pound-feet of torque.[3] It is capable of getting 25 mpg on the highway.[3] The optional V-8 engine is a 5.7-liter HEMI that produces 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque.[3] It is rated at 15 mpg in the city, 21 mpg on the highway.[3]
