Frequently, customers ask us: "What is the most capable off-road diesel truck straight from the factory?" While some competitors offer decent packages, we believe the answer is sitting right here on our lot: The Heavy Duty Ram Rebel Diesel.
The Rebel isn't just a sticker package; it's a cohesive mix of purpose-built hardware and cutting-edge technology designed for those who need to tow 20,000 pounds on Friday and hit the trails on Saturday without changing a thing.
The Ram Rebel's capability starts where the pavement ends. It’s engineered with components many truck owners usually have to buy aftermarket:
The Foundation: It rides on a unique 5-link coil rear suspension specifically tuned for off-road articulation without sacrificing payload stability. This is paired with renowned Bilstein gas-charged shocks on all four corners to soak up washboards and rock impacts.
The Traction: Power hits the ground through aggressive 33-inch Goodyear Duratrac tires mounted on 20-inch alloy wheels. When things get really slippery or steep, an electronic locking rear differential ensures both rear wheels turn at the same speed to keep you moving forward.
The Armor: Heavy-duty steel bumpers and underbody skid plates protect vital components from trail obstacles.
Inside, the Rebel balances durability with premium features. You’ll find heated and ventilated leather-trimmed seats that are easy to wipe down after a muddy day, alongside all-weather floor mats.
However, the real star is the technology suite designed to improve situational awareness:
Off-Road Pages: The massive center screen displays real-time data on pitch and roll angles, steering position, and axle lock status.
Forward Trail Camera: Pulling up to a blind crest or a tight rock squeeze? The forward-facing camera projects tire path gridlines onto the screen so you can see exactly where your wheels are placing.
The Screens: The Rebel features the latest tech, including a massive 14.5-inch primary touchscreen, a fully digital driver's cluster, and an exclusive 10.5-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display, allowing your co-pilot to navigate or handle DJ duties.
Don't let the off-road chops fool you; this is still a Heavy Duty Ram. With available features like the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, active exhaust braking, and tow-specific camera views, the Rebel Diesel is rated to tow up to 20,000 lbs.
It is truly the best out-of-the-box solution for the driver who refuses to compromise between off-road fun and heavy-duty work.
Whether you want a stock RAM Rebel truck, a built lifted RAM Rebel, or you are looking to get a custom Rig Ready RAM Rebel started, we are happy to help with every facet of the process.
