2020 Ram Rebel Vs 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn Off-Road Package: Which Is Best Off-Road???

[@crsantin]

I pick up my 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn North Edition tomorrow afternoon. The North edition has the off-road package which includes a 1" lift, a rear locker, heated seats and steering wheel among other things. The Big Horn has the 4 wheel drive auto mode which the Rebel doesn't have. I think this is a better feature for daily driving here in Canada, plus I have a rear locker and a lift. I can't wait to pick her up.

[@petepeto9335]

Still nice truck? No issues?

[@scorpio8898]

Why did you not cover the true reasons we shop for off road trucks. Is there a ground clearance difference? Is there a difference in suspension? Is there a difference in skid plates? I don't care about the color of the logo, I want to know if I am going to put a hole in my oil pan if I go truly off roading.

[@acbaldwin32]

This guy doesn't even address the big differences between the two trucks. Rebel has a different steering and stability control system. Comes with Bilstein shock absorbers, LED lights, and 1" lift. Yes, theBig Horn can come with the off road package but that package is nowhere close to what you get with the Rebel. Plus cloth seats suck.

[@macmclain1350]

I'm not hearing ten grand amigo. Lol 😆.

[@ohioguy4326]

The big horn just needs the LED lights, I prefer that front end over the Rebel front end.

[@baconblaster6422]

Agreed 100 percent

[@marcusbuckslayer3280]

Yep, and u will save thousands by going Big Horn. Won't get leather, cooled seats and suspension and tires aren't quite as agressive. But you will get 4x4 auto and better gas mileage over Rebel.

[@TheTide48]

Just picked up a big horn over a rebel and that's the one thing my wife dislikes...and it has the 12inch screen and heads up display so that's a plus

[@1234tellmewhatyourlookingfor]

Let me tell you.. I called a dealer, they said they would have a big horn off road waiting out front the next day. Got there the sales guy said we dont have one. Went to supervisor he said the do not exist. I had looked at them on that lot already. The sales guy drags me to the rebels all with dealer bump. I called BS left went across the street made a killer deal on a loaded 2018 sport with 13000 miles and never will go back to that dodge dealer again. I bought a 17 loaded sport from them with ram boxes already. Air ride suspension and everything else. I did not need leather I needed a work truck. As soon as the hell cat rebels come out I'm going shopping again. Not at that place. The worst thing you can do to a customer is lie to them!

Awesome video. I just recently bought a 2020 big horn crew cab for just under $40k, (30k miles). 4x4, came with the LED light package the Rebel has, and I prefer cloth over leather and it has a banger Alpine system. Absolutely in love with it. Smokey grey color with matte black wheels. Couldn't pass it up. Great review brother.

[@KevinJohn556]

I kinda miss the bench option it’s mostly bucket seats now. I mean who don’t like a good “fun” bench?

[@marcusbuckslayer3280]

If u buy the North Edition, u get bench seat.

[@michealtrevino3654]

I like the front grill on big horne much more. I don't know if air bags are on either one. The big horn comes with a one inch lift. Ten thousand plus taxes, that's plus 8.5 percent in my state.with other extra fees state your looking at about 11,500 difference. Most guys do not go extreme off road and I hate wrangler tires even on the Rebel. Looks like the big horn would be my choice.

I've been comparing these models as well. One thing not mentioned is the rear-end ratios are different. The Big Horn has 3.21 and Rebel 3.92. This difference will affect responsiveness, towing, and MPG. Hope this helps!

[@brass6094]

You could get 3.92 ratio for $95 option on the bighorn huge difference almost 3500 pounds more awesome deal

[@macmclain1350]

Rebel is a slower vehicle.

My Rebel sticker price was 54k. Comparing a cloth interior with a full leather 12" Nav with the extra price from the eTorque and bed options isn't quite fair

manfromwyoming that not bad! I didn’t do with the rebel because at the dealerships out here they weren’t budging but I got a built to serve edition

[@slow8r]

Hey Ben, do you know what the performance/suspension difference between the Rebel and the 4x4 Off-road Package on the other trims such as the Big Horn, Laramie, etc? I know the Rebel has the Bilstein Suspension standard. Does the 4x4 Off-Road Package come with the same suspension? Honestly just trying to find out the main off road ability difference between the Rebel and Big Horn with the 4x4 Off-Road Package besides the tires. Thanks!

[@marcuskoolrt]

Did you ever find out? I’m wondering right now too.

[@slow8r]

@@marcuskoolrt I didn't. Probably should just ask a Ram dealer. I think the shocks/springs are more beefy in the Rebel. Also pretty sure the Rebel has more under body protection.

[@Nusbizz]

I've been nerding out on all the 2020 trucks past few weeks. Just want to say thanks for the vids! I just don't see how you can pass up on the Big Horn. You have to pay 5-6k more for ford and chevy and they still don't have nearly the amount of accessories in their base models. Seeing Big Horns around 35k in my area, waiting for Labor Day sale and think I'm going for it.

[@joshuayork4693]

My rebel with similar package to the Bighorn was msrp 54.4k when you compare these specific trucks the bighorn is the better value, but not with a similar package.

[@Mrsharpshooter1979]

Well you might as well do the rebel and limited then. Its about everything between the packages not just what you certain options that are the same. If you want a rebel then you want a rebel. Star changing up the looks of that big horn and guess what ,price goes up. If you don't care what it looks like then by all means get a base line truck.

[@stevelarrivee6695]

The Rebel front bumper has approach clearance, for OFF ROAD. Bighorn bumper hangs down in front of tires and will catch on serious holes or rocks.

[@macmclain1350]

Bumpers are not ten grand lol.

[@chevydippin1152]

I think a better comparison would be the built to serve edition to the reble .ram led upgraded interior and the off road package

[@nookbandit]

Love the Rebel but I'd take a BH with led package and Alpine,more than I'll need for the difference in price

really?

[@angelr4429]

Question for all. Which one is taller height wise… big horn with off road package, or a rebel?

[@gustavosantillan4837]

Hey ben!, can you check if turning off the stop/star button on the bighorn illuminate a little led light on that button?

[@victorvek5227]

So you can get the Big Horn and pay a bunch of money on upgrades to match what the Rebel has; or you can just get the Rebel instead. Got it.

[@jimmycamps1]

I am on my second rebel after owning gen 1 raptors. The rebel suspension is where the money is at. Those two trucks are not the same. The 4 corner air ride is not the same as the off road package on the big horn and ground clearance makes a difference. If you use the rebel to off road and run it, that truck is worth every dollar. The big horn wouldn't be able to compete.

[@michealtrevino3654]

We have a 2017 Sport with ram boxes and 4 corner air suspension. Off road I and 2 it's cool, the truck will tilt down on the side for ladies to get in it has a sunroof and is loaded. That truck was pricy that's the wife's mine is a 2018 sport 2 wheel drive both have a 3.92 rear. I put the stock wranglers on a work truck and up graded to Toyo all terrain. Between what we bought in 2017 do not see a big difference between the 17 and 19 redesign Our 17 has under 20 thousand miles so it's a keeper.

[@charlesmarshall2697]

Best option is a Laramie Longhorn with the Off Road Group! Iron fist in a velvet glove!

[@1qforan]

what happened to which is best offroad??

[@chrispetersen1423]

Doesn’t the off road package and the rebel have a 1” factory lift?

[@ChuckTownRC51]

I must have missed the off road part.

[@stevecaruso8199]

Good stuff Ben, I think the Rebel has steel bumpers and the Big Horn does not, the Rebel tailgate plus ram boxes will add up to $2k, toss in the steps and that's about another $750, then the 12 inch screen for at least another $1k. I bet if you optioned in the lights on the Big Horn plus the above differences the price gets a lot closer. Your review absolutely does point out that many of the differences truly are aesthetic though. That being said the Rebel still wins out IF you're into driving off road since the angles likely are a bit better and there are skid plates. Also. . . . does the Big Horn with the 4x4 package have Bilstein shocks? The Rebel does and that could be another differentiator. I have no idea why the Rebel does NOT have 4wheel auto. That's just flat out bizarre imo.

[@salpassalacqua1121]

Rebel has led lights and black front and back. The interior is much better and the rebel has a lift on it. Sits definitely higher. The tires are much better on the rebel also. The hood on the rebel is outstanding also. Overall the rebel blows the big horn away.

[@goodknight6828]

My big horn built to serve has a lift, LED lights and upgraded seats, tires kinda suck but I’ll be fixing that soon 🙂

[@arthurhamilton5222]

On my Big Horn Lonestar 1500 4x4, it came with the all of the undercarriage shield plates, tow hooks and class IV hitch. I added 2" rough country leveling shocks, rc rear shocks and 34" Toyo AT3 tires. It goes where I need it to go, off road. No problem.
