2016 Ram 1500 Rebel (5.7L 4X4) Start Up, Road Test, and In Depth Review

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Seven years later!!! Still my dream vehicle.

[@MidoriHatch]

I feel ya. I have a 16' ram big horn but the rebel holds a special place i need in my life lol.

[@Greenslimegaming11181]

Same! 8 years later

[@skillet2331]

Literally just bought a 2016 Rebel in blue about two weeks ago! I love the truck so much!

[@seddiqOutlaw4]

does it use a lot of gas?

[@skillet2331]

+fasial king for what it is and what I use it for (commuting to work and the occasional off reading) it does well and I get very decent fuel economy

[@bigdawgpat]

@TheNugler try a tundra

[@bigdawgpat]

@TheNugler true

[@its_rockyviper5430]

8 years later still have it?

[@thedub007]

At least nobody will have to ask what you're driving. I think the tailgate has that covered.

[@saabkyle04]

+thedub007 Same thing with the Raptor and older Chevrolet trucks (including my avalanche) :P

+Saabkyle04 lol

[@wyattrockford4209]

[@danielwaugh485]

I'm a huge dodge guy. And that rear badging is horrible. I'd get it debadged right away.

[@73h73373r357]

+thedub007 Definitely gonna have to drive that straight to the shop and get it debadged. That's horrible.

[@d-tay944]

keep up the excellent work kyle. we all love and appreciate your dedication.

[@jimdayton8837]

I really like it! Until now, i never even knew the "Rebel" package existed! I love that cool grill and giant RAM badges. In a way it does remind me of the Ford SVT Raptor. The interior is Classic Dodge! (And i agree the placement red throughout the interior is similar to the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk). Great review as always, Kyle!

[@kelso1337]

This guy is a huge dork and I don't like listening to him. However, he killed this review of the truck. With all the specs that anyone could want to know. Great job man this is how everyone should do a review.

[@PointWithin]

Just bought a 2016 Ram Rebel last week. Love it!!!

[@Noah-b6r9l]

How’s it been for ya ? Looking at one right now lol

[@LORDSLADE]

Update ? Thinking about trading my truck in for one

[@jordanpark8980]

im in love with this truck, I really am hell I don't even mind the obvious ram logos... but seriously one thing I HATE in these newer Rams are the JAGUAR STYLE dial shifters, I mean its a fucking truck not an executive's XJ, which Is why I wished they stuck to the good old column shifter but I guess they installed it for convenience purposes cuz some people have difficulty backing a truck up I guess...

[@hakeemsd70m]

Code[X] Who says all change is good??

[@666dynomax]

they will. only people buying GM are stuck in their ways seniors who still think they make a good truck. Look around at who's driving them... then look in the seats of fords and dodges... 10 year average age difference younger in the ford/dodge.

[@darwinwishon1999]

I have this truck and love it, get compliments constantly.

[@samsilver362]

Thank you! You are One of the best reviewers on the web. The details are just amazing and so thorough. It has really helped me make a decision on which vehicle to buy. I know how much effort is required to gather and report all the information that you do, and it is greatly appreciated...

[@x6King6x]

With a couple of great modifications this truck will look so badass.

[@danielmurphy93]

This is m absolute favorite truck in the world!

[@TwistedGorillaFab]

Just purchased one on Richie Brothers farm Auction. Have not picked it up yet...Fingers crossed she's a runner. Only has 115,000Km or 71645 Miles. They are an incredible truck IMHO. Currently driving a 1990 Dodge W150 with a 318 so I should see a performance increase Lol!!! Feeling blessed.

[@larryspiller15]

who would get the 3.6 .... I mean I know it's a good engine but in this truck it seems ridiculous. then again there are guys driving around jacked up diesel trucks that are only 2wd

[@jimdayton8837]

+larry Spiller That's what i was thinking! Wouldn't even consider a V6! 5.7L HEMI!!!

[@TheDigitalslayer]

3.6 V6 seems more suitable for the Dakota body or a Full sized Dodge car.

[@slacadjuster237]

+TheDigitalslayer Dodge "car"??? WTF man. You realize it's a TRUCK right, and not a car.

[@TheDigitalslayer]

You could be right, Engines today have more horse power output per litre than 15 years ago. With that kind of efficiency. That is one thing I have notice in the past few years.

[@slacadjuster237]

+larry Spiller Yes, and you know what those guys driving around in those jacked up trucks are compensating for right??....small penis

[@jadin558]

i always like how indepth this channel goes into vehicles, really helps when you dont know what to buy next!

[@JohnLoMonaco]

Good work on the review Kyle. I have this truck and your video saved me a lot of time and beats going through the owner manual the first day I got it. For people who want a work truck that also looks good and comfortably hauls people this was a great choice for me.

Right when you pulled out the key to unlock the truck I knew you were filming in 60fps. It looks 100% better!!

[@Organicme1]

I know this is old, but I own one right now so I looked and there you were. That was the best walk through of the truck (of anything) and they should pay you for this video to show to customers or put it in the owners manual! Never thought I'd ENJOY listening to a guy talk for 30 min. about his truck! (JK I'm from Ga... I should b an expert) TY very much for the awesome video!!

[@EastCoastATV]

The interior in those is fantastic. They're nicer than anything else in the market.

[@5UBV3T]

Hands down some of the best reviews on KZbin. Thanks Kyle. In the cases that you have a vehicle that can do some off-roading, it would be nice to get your impression of those capabilities as well (assuming the dealers you work with don't mind and you feel comfortable with that). Either way, I always look for your videos on any vehicle I'm interested in because I know you'll cover everything.

[@LongRon6969]

They definitely should have put a 6.4 Hemi in the Rebel

[@amjadaden]

A proud wtap member. this bad boiiii ain't no joke. it's beast😈

[@VkRmotorsport]

The quality of the video is perfect! Thanks Kyle!

[@emilianocruz11]

the ram rebel its not a ugly truck but the hemi 5.7lts its a awesome engine and with the 8 speed automatic transmision its a awesome off road truck thanks to dodge and the interior of the rebel its awesome

[@jamesbeaman6337]

Just an idea for you when reviewing trucks, Kyle. Bring a cowboy hat and have it on when you check out the headroom, front and rear, to see if there is enough room to wear it without hitting the roof. This might be of interest for the small percent of the truck buyer population who like to wear their cowboy hat while driving or riding.

[@JulianS-ye3vm]

personally, i kinda like the plastic on the front, for some reason it looks tough to me

[@geethsan1567]

Commenting a year later here and the amount of hate comments here is staggering. Call me a fanboy or something but I love the Rebel for what it is.

[@samson1380]

The 8 speed transmission is great but i wish it has the t-bar shifter like the Dodge Challenger to be honest. Great review!

[@Awprimus]

wish it was debadged, hate the huge RAM logos, preferred it with subtle DODGE ram badges. Great video, nevertheless.

[@LegalZephyr]

+Awper Why would it say Dodge? This isn't a Dodge...

[@Thekidsinafrica14]

+Legal Zephyr what is it? A Lamborghini?

[@LegalZephyr]

The Kids in Africa It's a Ram. Ram became its own Brand back in 2011 when Fiat bought Chrysler, who is Ram's parent company.

[@Thekidsinafrica14]

+Legal Zephyr Soo is my charger not a dodge also? The name DODGE ram doesn't click in your head? Every this truck has is dodge, from the ugly key fob to the stupid uconnect radio, just because a different part of the company makes the vehicle doesn't mean it's not a dodge. You wouldn't say Chevrolet isn't a GM product would you? Or a Buick, those are both different parts of the company but GM makes it. It's a dodge m8

[@HorribleTruth98]

+The Kids in Africa He's right actually. RAM is a different company now. If you need proof: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram

That start up sounds so good!!!

[@VqVick]

I would love to have this truck for the winters we get in the north east

[@ronin2227]

Can't say I like the turn-dial for gear shifting, I prefer a column stick shifter or even just a classic console stick shifter. Especially for a truck like this, it would make me feel like i wasnt driving a truck.

[@MaxDudek]

I love your reviews, but I think that if you really want to gain viewers and popularity, you should include an off road test as well as a road test.

[@saabkyle04]

+Max Dudek I would, but I don't have anywhere near me that I could do something like that. Plus, this was borrowed from a dealership, I'd have to have a press vehicle for that to be possible.

[@MaxDudek]

+Saabkyle04 That makes perfect sense. Thanks for the response!!

[@govenmentassassin]

Yesss!! OFF-ROAD A TOYOTA PRIUS!!!!

[@AlbanianSold13r]

Those emblems look amazing but I wish you could have a steel option

[@GTOAviator]

Great video review! Couple things - the "RAM" badge is only on the Rebel and Laramie Limited models. The Laramie Longhorn deluxe models still feature the original Dodge RAM head (thank god). The rotary dial transmission selector is horrific looking and even less satisfying to operate. 2500 models retain the excellent "column shifter" style. Finally, that seat material is sadly inept when compared to the all leather variants. It wouldn't be so bad if we weren't paying premium money, but the Rebel's are only a little bit cheaper than loaded Laramie Longhorns, which means for a little more you would get a lot more out of a deluxe model with premium seating (I'm also not a fan of the black/red interior, but that's my own bias). The new heavy duty RAM trucks are the best in their class. I'm am undecided on these 1500s.

[@ebewolf1]

That was a really solid, well done, and in-depth review. Good job.

[@tristanmathesonsinventory2443]

The Hemi with factory dual exhaust sound awsome at idle

[@poppyneese1811]

#1 if I could have swung 50+ and the bad mpg’s, this is what I’d be driving, mine would have been red. They just look so good! Love my F150, but the big bad Rebel is beautiful!

[@arturobotello7446]

Finally they made a dodge ram with a raptor look, really clean truck.

[@noahgaray7923]

Who the fuck needs a fancy fucking interior? We have an old 1985 dodge ram 1 ton and it pulls great! Trucks are for hauling, if you want a fancy interior, go buy a mercedes

[@javirt6749]

No one would buy this truck for hauling

[@tjplays3147]

Ok dumbass u aren't going to buy a new car without it having luxury interior in it. It's the way it is. Oh n the Mercedes doesn't have a pickup anymore n is way more luxurious than any other American made car

[@dpelletierable]

Please do a 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum vid.

[@jimdayton8837]

+Doreen Pelletier That would be cool.

[@AdmiralRustyShackleford]

+Doreen Pelletier Why not just get the Explorer Sport? It has the same 3.5 Ecoboost and 4WD but it's about $10k cheaper. No amount of interior features is worth that. I'd pay extra for the Sport because of its performance boost over the Limited, but I'm not paying a ton of money for just features that people can do without. Less features means less weight so better performance and mileage, less initial cost and less to break. Always buy a car with the highest performance but lowest features. Think about it, Ferrari's don't have all that convenience junk, but no one cares because they're fun to drive.

[@dukinygaming259]

+snakesonaplane2 Because of the elegant and luxurious styling and the upgraded don't sound system. I'd probably get the sport though. I know what you mean

Tell us how the Recall system works at your dealership 🐸☕️

[@billconmas]

+josh bush , As Far as I know I don't have any recalls, Could you tell us Ford guys how bailouts work ?

[@BIGJBIGEBIGC]

+B SCOTT in case you've been living under a rock 2010 fords have been recalled for brake issues, 2011-2014 some other major issues. And in 2014 ford had to recall all f150s due to a failure in the steering gear. They told owners NOT to drive the trucks.... Bailouts have really nothing to do with the truck, as far as I'm concerned the 3500 dodges laugh at the poor conditions the 350/450 suffers.

[@billconmas]

+josh bush , Josh I'm glad you like your Dodges it's cool at least they are not Toyotas or Nissans . Just bought a 2016 no problems. Have had most models since 95 , not one problem , just routine maintenance . We all have the right to chose the truck we want to drive it just seems the dodge boys buy a basic truck and think it's a race car and have to tailgate or try to race when they're behind me , the Chevy guys get it , they're used to 2nd place ( Nothing wrong with silver) . When Dodge makes a comparable/ reliable truck we can talk

Just so you know Kyle the 4 corner air suspension isn't Rebel exclusive, it can be had on any new 1500 according to the "Build Your Own" tool on the Ram Trucks website. It's hard to find one with it in the wild, I'm assuming that's because of the $1,800 price tag on the option.

Is there a reason why you separated the interior clips? I liked what you did on your last vid, when u put them together

[@saabkyle04]

+jeez3k This is how I always shoot my videos, I separate the portions into dedicated sections that focus on that specific area of the vehicle. Since I covered so many S-Class models, I meshed that video together as there was no need to cover every little nook and cranny. I don't do videos like that often, but that was a special case where it made sense and worked out pretty well.

[@JohnS916]

Excellent presentation loaded with all you need to know about the truck, very comprehensive and a big jump in features compared to my 05 Dodge Ram Hemi. But that's technology for you, yet I love my Dodge Ram as it sits and in some respects cosmetically I like it better than the Rebel with the added chrome touches I put on mine. I'm not too keen on the bulbous front end of the Rebel, that should be reeled in a little and the hugh Rebel nameplate on the tailgate is over the top, circa "Power Wagon". I stripped the door badging off my truck as well as the tailgate, only leaving the SLT badge. I would do the same with the Rebel emblem in the back, it's gotta go and is an example of over doing it when less would make it better, at least in my humble opinion. Nice review though.

[@Torvikholm]

the gearbox it is not developed in collaboration with ZF, it is developed by ZF. Dodge/Ram has programed the gearbox for this engine, but that does not make a development collaboration.

[@joe247z]
