2020 Ram Rebel Driven Off-Road

- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2020
- We can appreciate refined luxury in a pick-up, but it’s not what we really what in a truck. What is form without function? What good is a 4WD truck if it can’t take you out to get the job done and then even farther out for serious backcountry adventures?
The Ram Rebel received major upgrades for 2019 and we know it remains unchanged for 2020. Here are is a full review of all the significant upgrades, and our off-road driving test as we take the Ram Rebel up the Coast Mountains outside Whistler BC.
Thanks to Jarod Balfour of 5thGenRam for joining the adventure and sharing footage;

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?
Yes ide be willimg to give up 2500 lbs of towing for some more aggressive air suspension.
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.
I dont really tow much other than light boats. I do more off road and this would be ideal for me other than price tag but would fine used one alittle cheaper. People knock on mopars but they are getting more reliable each year. All trucks have there faults and recalls thats part of the growing pains
Have had my 2021 Rebel for 3 weeks now and absolutely love it.
Coming from someone that had a 1st gen Rebel. Don’t opt for airride if you’re truly off-roading or want a reliable source of daily transportation. I had to swap mine to traditional steel coil suspension after numerous failures. And no help from FCA.
Thanks for the heads up!
I've got a 2019 rebel and I absolutely love it. I almost went for a Gladiator but I couldn't fit comfortable enough to justify the cost. Out of all the trucks I looked at, the rebel had it all.
@@guyontheinternet8891 I had watched tons of views on the rebels but thought I'd make a RUclips presence off a Gladiator. Also got the Rebel "used" with 4300 miles so they knocked off about 12k after dealing!
Well ,I listened to everything you said and ended up purchasing the 2020 RAM Rebel. Do I LOVE it? ABSOLUTELY!! it is EVERYTHING YOU SAID.
I own a 19 Rebel and I love it!! Took it to the snow, the off road trails amazing truck to own
Thanks for the input! What year is your truck?
Jonathan Downey dude same here. Mine is white .. but with 8” screen and still looks amazing inside....
mauricio cuellar I actually dig that 8”, I think the manual controls are a bit more intuitive in that layout.
My smart ass bought a Laramie (not 4x4) now I want a rebel really bad 🤡
@@uncle_salty_3675 nice really wish I could take my ram off road maybe getting a Polaris anyone can suggest me a good one
I need this to tow my rods and reels to the lake!
Standard tires are 275/70r18 that is 33.2"
Good video. I wish I knew where to locate some offroad trails in my area. I own a 2019 Ram Rebel as well, and I love it. Especially with my Borla ATAK exhaust system lol.
I love this truck 2019 Ram Rebel it has everything i want and then some, i have owned 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation Ram all great trucks..if only this truck could last forever..
The Rebel comes with 277/70 R18 tires. That equates to 33" x 10.8" not 32" like mentioned in the video multiple times. The Chevy and GMC offroad packages come with 32" o.d. tires. Almost all Ram's come with 33's it has been that way for a long time.
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.
Eversince the 2000s, Ram has always been on top when it comes to design and even improvements in other areas. I love how its so proportional in design. 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.
2020 rebel love it. Some one rear ended me totaled her Yukon. My bumper and tailgate. Muffler tips are expensive btw.
I own a 2016 rebel and I love it. pretty capable and really mean. it's great having the air suspension
Another 2016 Rebel checking in. Absolutely love it. For my purposes there is no other option that offers a better value. 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 have a 2020 ram rebel but I replaced the shocks for the falcons and the way it drives is 100% better even on road.. I get less body roll, less nose dive. The trucks feels more stable and planted. Also, it leveled the truck so it’s taller... I
Think this is something everyone who owns a ram rebel
Needs to Do To get the real performance. Before the shocks were to soft for any fast speed off-road and on road .
Just picked up a 2021 rebel. Couldn’t be happier.
Very good review of the Ram Rebel. It would suit my needs, if I needed a truck!
Do you want an electronic sway bar disconnect on an IFS system?
450 miles on my 5.7l Rebel and love it!
I own a 2020 Ram Rebel. What they don't tell you here is the transmission pan on this truck is made of hard plastic that will crack like an eggshell if it comes into hard contact with a rock. Consequently its a good precaution to purchase an additional steel skid plate to protect the transmission pan from Dethloff engineering.
I wish they made a single cab short box Rebel! I have a 2016 Outdoorsman with the HEMI. Great truck. We have two RAMs at work, too. Debating selling my Explorer and building a SWB RAM for off roading.
I thought all I wanted was the PW until I saw the Ram Rebel Ecodiesel 4x4 🤤
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.
Rams are the sharpest trucks out there
Agreed. It is personal preference, but around here they are number one.
So the comment about the sway bar disconnect. It not on the rebal because it doesn’t have a solid front axle. The independent front suspension is self limiting when you are wanting articulation/ suspension travel.
I absolutely love my 2018 ram 1500 Laramie I just bought! It is my dream truck and after having a jeep grand Cherokee limited, it's nice to have ground clearance
I love my 19 rebel it’s combination of towing and off roading.
Think it’s better than a Tacoma on the off road?
I have a 2016 rebel and love it. Can’t wait for the trx for my next upgrade.
I have a 16 rebel too. the trx was just released and I really want it but out of my price range
I drive a ram rebel get and I love it and the way it drives.❤😊
Waiting for the TRX
The TRX looks incredible!!!
Waiting for the price to drop on rebels when the trx comes out.
@Facts Matter I had a Hellcat and it was 100% reliable, same engine. As far as fuel consumption drop a titan fuel tank in like I did my F350.
@Facts Matter The TRX will not have 700 HP! More like 500 to 600 HP.
its here!
I just bought the 2022 rebel ecodiesel. I couldn't be happier. Time to take her out to get dirty :)
Was gonna get the rebel but got the sports cuz it has the 360 cam perfect for the lift kit
Great video Perry! It's a hard decision between the two trucks. I think I would honestly take the Rebel. I would add the mopar performance exhaust as shown on the TFLTruck channel on their Rebel Rouser project truck. 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. :)
Thanks. I have a tough time deciding between Rebel and Power Wagon. If I had to take them as is, I would buy Power Wagon. BUT - I don't. I would probably go Rebel and hit the aftermarket (as I did with my Wrangler) for the locker, disconnecting sway bar, and front camera.
That 8 speed with the 5.7 is fantastic...no need to change it.
@@endocry others haven't really given them a reason to up it. That motor still has power left in it. The problem is the piston rings are moved so close to the end of the piston to help with emissions. That sh>t needs to go, lower the rings back down, slightly bigger cam, slightly bigger intake and throttle body, and you have over 450 hp and torque. Thats close to fords Godzilla 7l (420 ci) numbers with a 345 ci hemi. Then they could give the 392 a boost in power. No other company is making them change it. If trump gets elected this year, you bet your ass dodge is going to step it up. They're afraid of the communist getting in and slapping on fines for global warming crap.
Was one of those people who hated the new design but the moment I drove one I ended up trading my poor 2017 for a rebel 12. Love it no regrets. Looks are deceiving, you have to drive one to believe the refinement and quality over the 4th gens. I wanted to wait for the TRX but ended up getting this. Still waiting for the TRX ! 😬
Stating the Rebel was not a comparison to the Raptor is a cop out, trying to compare a Rebel with it’s extras to other half tons without those extras is misleading. Rebel is a solid, very respectable truck, but it must be compared to the Raptor to truly see a real comparison.
I’d take the trail boss with the 6.2, I like the redesign and the aggressive look it has to offer. but I do wish the interior was a bit more nicer, like the ram.
Sunroof is never a good choice for off road trucks... All the dust ant debris will most certainly have you repairing the seals and track on the sunroof..... I was considering a Rebel, then Chevy released the Silverado ZR2 and I recently ordered one lol... The Rebel seems great, but I don't want air suspension and I want a rear locker AND a front locker lol... I drove the Silverado ZR2 at a press event, and I was thoroughly impressed!
Great video, though it is from 2020 lol
a video from 4wd magazine and they mention wanting sway bar disconnects on independent front suspension?..... uh what?
you can get a front camera on the 2020 model year for the rebel, no one has a disconnection front sway bar for independent front suspension, and although a front locker would be nice it makes sense that Ram would reserve the absolute best offroading capability for the Power Wagon which is based on a Heavy Duty frame
A 3/4 ton frame and componets totally make sense for offroading.....idk why 1500 off road specific trucks don't run better componets than standard versions....(well I know its $$$ but they should)
love this truck,just got a 2021 rebel in white
I own a 2019 rebel crew, 5.7 with etorque I have yet to hear any engineers or reviewers explain how the etorque ties in off road. It seems to me the etorque would be helping out at say rock crawling when the engine is basically idleing with small shots of throttle. Just my thoughts. By the way traded my 14 ram for this and i can tell you the frame and the solid way it drives I noticed Right away.
i liked it so much i bought one 2019
Had 2017 rebel was a great truck but upgraded to 2019 power wagon got to say absolutely love the power wagon over my rebel
I want front and rear locker's
Ok
I have a 2020 rebel I love it coming from a 2017 f150. Wish they had a little more power from the 5.7 but I still love it!
has almost 400hp and over 400ft lbs of torque. if you think that's lacking, get the Ram TRX with the hellcat engine
@@dirtsailoroff-road5580 nah 80k for a truck is crazy!
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
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.
i traded out of a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon for a 2020 Rebel! Love the Rebel!
Damn dude how long did you have the Gladiator before you bailed?
1500 rebel is the sexiest truck on the market. Merely driving past women is enough to get them pregnant.
@Facts Matter 😆
@@guyontheinternet8891 I installed a flowmaster super 10 with resonator delete on mine and let me tell ya...🍆.
I'm digging the rebel. I'm planning to trade in my 2015 tundra for one at the end of the year. If the price is right.
I work at WTAP! We build the Classic Ram. I just bought a 2020 Rebel and i cant say enough about it!. It is a awesome truck inside and out!
@@only5186 how's the classic ram?
Now that this model has been out for awhile, what's the reliability been like compared to the competitor models that were listed?
Subscribed , nice video , great info
I love this truck it would do everything I like to do and more .
my 2021 has a front camera. Wish I had gotten a 12 inch screen
Why would a independent suspension have front sway bar discos, only the solid axle vehicles have that option from fca
When they make it blue, I'll consider it
They do but unfortunately it's hydro blue, not a fan of that blue. You can't order that color but some were made and out there on dealer lots. I wish they made it in blue streak pearl coat. You can build a power wagon in blue streak but not the rebel.
@@aca31comcastnet Actually that Blue on Ben Hardy vid is lit. I reconsider that, if it's one of the choices.
@@najthesavior4286 That is the blue color. There are some out there that color but can't build one that color yet. At least you can't build one online that color.
@@aca31comcastnet Guess we have to see in the summer or winter.
Mine is blue. It's called Maximum steel metallic and it almost looks grey when it's dirty or on a cloudy day. But when clean and in the sun definitely blue with alot of metal flake in it
Love the styling! By far best interior compared to others but I think the chevy trail boss has a way better front looking end and higher approach angle. Mopar or no car though 😎
Nice I bought it last year
I am extremely jealous of you Americans. Here in Germany, this marvel of technology, for an average person, could not be paid for.
Der Rechtspopulist
Consider yourself lucky my friend.
Is the quad cab rebel good too?
Neutered payload and towing is unacceptable. Give higher ground clearance and the tighter (rougher) ride with stiffer tall springs to get respectable numbers back.
Never had a ram Pickup before..always ford... never get a ford or Chevrolet again this truck is phenomenal best all around truck you can own . Turns heads a lot.. people stop to talk to me and stop me to look at it!
Super!
I love the rebel wish I had I would trade my 14 ram 2500 for it anyday if I could afford it lol
There 33 inch tires
Ya I had to recheck after watching this lol
Believe it or not you can buy a 2wd rebel. Why you would I don’t know.
I want one, But my wife said no.
Get a new wife.
Sorry but this doesn't have serious lockers like a jeep or a G class.
12 inch screen is great. Navigation is a joke. It will get you lost. So you have to use Google maps on only half of the screen
Google maps is crazy good navigation. Best I've seen.
Not true I use it all the time and never had a problem I own a 2020 Rebel

front lockers are a big step too far for this kind of massive truck. Jeep Rubicon's, Brono's etc, are that kind of vehicle.
My car ram rebel 2019 it is the best car for all purposes.
They make a chrysler rebel car?
for your information i am not English man but i can speak 5 languages better then you , i am an omani citizen i got 4 cars ram rebel among them.
@@haithamal-hashmi7135 Sir, no disrespect, but any man claiming to have testicles WILL NEVER, EVER, call his truck a car.. You are referring to your truck as a car which immediately told me you are definitely from another planet, should you have a few moments today lookup the difference between the two vehicles and seeing as you took the time to learn several different languages perhaps now is the chance to learn something new as and how this conversation pertains to the North American truck culture.
My mother language is Arabic beside that I can speak different languages because our country mix cultures.
@@haithamal-hashmi7135 Very excited to hear the Rebel now has the diesel option and this will make for a great hunting truck assuming the reliability is there.
Looks great inside and out. I own one. Mechanical is not quality. Issues wth key gobs Air suspensions are the worst idea ever. They freeze up
MDS fuel saver is causing cam failures. Look it up folks a lot of money be careful FAC is no a company you want to buy from. Horror stories for customer care are rampant around here. I have owned 3 new 3 used 1 eco diesel. Never again the quality Is not there. I’m going to Toyota
I was loving the truck till my problems started
what problems
😍😍👍!

No 360 cam, no ventilated seats, for a 65-70K truck... even kia has those features.
They can change the name to RAM but it is still a Chrysler unreliable product like all the rest, they only way for them to get sale going is by working on fancy gadgets that usually stop to work between two to three years. These truck are only good to lease.
