Compared to the Ram 1500, are you willing to give up some towing and payload numbers to get better off-road performance? And what about the styling - do you love it, hate it, or maybe you don’t care as long as the truck does the job?
@bravo98905 жыл бұрын

@adamharriger51935 жыл бұрын
Still tows plenty for a 1/2 ton truck- if you actually tow over the Rebels ratings, or even just at them very often you need a 3/4 ton. Love the interior, wish the exterior was more aggressive. If only I could get the Trail Boss body with a rebel interior and powertrain I’d be set.

Gm has the at4 but the ram is nicer. I think ram is just a better built vehicle now than gm. It seems when dodge does something, they do it right. Like the challenger and charger. The TRX will probably be pretty good as well.

Yes, 1/2 ton trucks have dangerously high tow ratings these days. I was a lifelong Chevy/GMC guy until 2011 when i test drove a Ram 1500. I was blown away by the interior, and the way it drove. That truck gave me 225,000 miles of trouble free performance. You ford and GM guys, there is a reason Ram is gaining so much market share. These new gen trucks are great.

Even recently I've looked at 5th gens and a couple other non Ram options like 2nd gen Raptors and even some HD trucks and there is really nothing worth trading for personally. I think I'll be keeping my Gen 1 Rebel for a long time. BTW, I've had zero issues with my air suspension, or zero issue at all for that matter besides replacing a tail light assembly due to some of the leds in the blinker going out.

I had a 17 rebel, loved it, but wanted a few of the up grades, so I traded it in and got the 2020. I love this one as well, but I opted not to get the air suspension after reading many negative reviews, even though i never had an issue. The 17 rode better at highway speeds as the air system lowered the vehicle for a better aerodynamic and tighter suspension. I probably shouldn't drive as fast as I often did on the highway, so maybe it's a good thing.

I love the Rebel.. i have the 4x4 big horn but i don't do any towing, so should have went with Rebel but i think regular 1500 had more cash back incentives to buy but i think you can always go the traditional route if you want to make the 1500 an offroad beast.

The 2020 interior blows away GMC's Denali by half a football field and blows Ford's out of the water as well. I agree on the front locker!!! Finally I wish you could get something to spice up that same old, long in the tooth 5.7 Hemi to add some spice on the Rebel. :)

2022 rebel: The good, interior is very nice. The back fold up seats and flat floor for my dogs is great. In floor storage is a great use of space. The bad, the 12” infotainment system is glitchy/slow at times, and/or screen goes black. I’ve heard of the black screen being a problem. Mine so far has only done this 1 time. When it did go black I pulled over to a safe place and performed a ignition off and on cycle a couple times with a waiting period in between. It came back on. There is a TSB for the off road coolant temp gauge and it reads 0. The main engine coolant temp gauge works fine but for the cost of this truck, I want it to work. The 5.7 is good. But for being able to tow as much as it can, there needs to be an option for the larger engine. It just leaves much to be desired honestly. Come on Ram put the 392 in the Rebel Please! Be aware of the hemi tick. I’ve heard supposedly the long term fix is using high quality 5w30 synthetic engine oil. Time will tell. Note: if you have bad lifters they need replacement. Oil will not fix worn/failed parts. Aftermarket parts: when I got the truck it already had factory running boards, they fit nicely and look good. They are not meant for rock slides/protection. Has the 6” Rough country lift. The shocks that come with it rides rough, but this brand is known for this. Plan on getting the more expensive Vertex 2.5 adjustable coil overs with reservoir. Should ride better.

Great video, very informative. Thank you! two questions: I am looking at a rebel from a dealer that has put a 4inch BDS lift with fox shocks and 35 inch wheels. any issues with this or your thoughts? secondly, lifted Rebel with fox shocks vs Power Wagon or Ford Raptor, your thoughts please? thanks kindly
@4WDMagazine5 жыл бұрын
BDS makes great product and the drive train should be able to handle the 35" tires as long as you are not doing any hardcore off-roading. When you test drive it, take some sharp corners to check the sway and some hard braking to see if the nose dives. Drive a regular Rebel to compare. I like the Power Wagon for a stock off-road vehicle - no mods required - and a 3/4 ton frame means it's solid. I like the Raptor for off-road but I'm not to keen on the highway - too floaty for me. You're probably tired of hearing this but it really depends on what you plan to tow/haul with the truck.
