The rest of the changes are cosmetic, and there are a few to take note of. Without checking a few option boxes, those are the only functional changes to the truck. You can purchase the Rebel with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive. The 2016 truck comes with the 5.7L HEMI V8 as the only option, making 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft. That allows them to fit 33-inch Toyo Open Country A/T tires. The “Off Road 1” setting is the “Normal” setting on the Rebel. In a normal Ram with air suspension, there are two off-road settings. The truck is lifted an inch thanks to a neat trick with the standard air suspension. The Rebel is a basic 1500 short-bed truck with a crew cab as the only option. That’s fundamentally what Ram has done here, except they’ve done it from the factory. If you drive by a local dealership, there are often one or two trucks parked out front that the dealership added a lift to and changed the wheels and tires. Ram spokesperson Nick Cappa explained it to me shortly after the truck debuted where they saw the truck in the marketplace. I believe now I have a much better idea of what this truck is, and who it’s for. But what was it? Recently, I spent a week with the truck, doing everything from running errands to heading to an off-road park for some serious wheeling. Ram made it quite clear that it was not designed to be a Ford Raptor competitor.
SEMA runs November 1–4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.When Ram Trucks debuted the Ram Rebel at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, people were a bit confused on what the truck’s competition was.
The Jeep CJ Surge, the TRX Gold Shot, and eight Jeep custom vehicles are also making their SEMA debuts this year. Mopar at SEMAĪside from the Backcountry X, Mopar is bringing another 10 concepts or modified vehicles. There's even a concept RamVac onboard vacuum cleaner under the second-row bench seat. Envisioned as a working vehicle, the Backcountry X Concept has a 12-by-14-inch deployable work surface between the two front seats. The interior features front-row bucket seats in neutral green, with orange accent stitching that matches the anodized orange air vents. Tube steps on the side rails and a rear bed step help people get up into the truck. The wheels are 20-by-9.0-inch matte black Fuel Heater units with 37-inch BFGoodrich tires. The truck also has a two-inch lift kit with Fox shocks and four Mopar 5-inch LED off-road lights on a tubular grille guard. The exterior two-tone exterior blends Matte Iced Silver Titanium and matte black. The Backcountry X isn't just about hauling more gear.
