Beneath the skin, one major change is the retirement of the HEMI V8 in favor of a 420-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane in-line 6-cylinder, and a 540-horsepower 3.0-liter High Out variant.
Like all models in the lineup, the 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel features updated front-end styling. The grille adopts a more open mesh design, while the headlights have darkened inner reflectors, giving them a slimmer appearance and enhancing the Rebel’s sporty, blacked-out aesthetic.
I wouldn’t say that the Rebel 1500 trim is as capable as the new Ram RHO, but the Rebel does include several features that give it genuine offroad props, including:
The Rebel also includes the 3.0-liter Twin-Turbo I6 making 420-horsepower and 496 Pound-Feet of Torque.
Inside, the base Rebel 1500 offers a feature set comparable to other mid-range Ram 1500 models. However, for those seeking a touch of luxury, there’s always the option to customize by checking off a few upgrades.
Cloth and vinyl seats with heated front seats come standard but can be updated to leather-trimmed seats and rear heated seats.
The $2,795 Rebel Level 2 Equipment Group adds a wealth of premium and tech features (listed below) and is certainly worth the added cost.
Another new feature for the Ram 1500 Rebel is the Rebel X Package celebrating 10 years of the Rebel trim. In addition to special 10th-anniversary graphics, the Rebel X package packs the Rebel with luxurious amenities including a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, Premium Leather-trimmed seats, and rough-road cruise control which allows you to set a cruise speed on rugged, dirt road.
