If you want a truck to be a functional truck, like a functional bed, ability to tow, uses regular gas, and still pretty fun, then get the Rebel. If all you're concerned with is fun, and you have to have the most power, even if it's not particularly useful in terms of what a truck is typically used for, and price is no option, then get the TRX.
The trx is so overpriced rn lol
Rebel all the way. I’ve never seen the point of a supercharged full size truck.
Spoken like a truck pick up truck guy❤️🤍💙
Hey Dodge give us a Rebel with the wide fenders from the TRX, upgraded suspension, and a different hood and they will sell like hot cakes for the people that want a TRX like look without the price and fuel economy. Just like what you do with the Hellcat and SRTs .
Do you want TRX emblems on it also? It will tell others "Hey, that guys got a TRX"
How about buying a trx and then replacing the engine with Rebel engine?
@@question_it_701 no but its the same packaging they do for chargers and challengers smart ass
@@aidenellis2425 even if you're being facetious, this is a dumbass comment
What the OP is saying makes sense because Dodge's Scatpacks and Hellcats do look alike. Even the GT models have the same styling. The problem with OP's statement is that Dodge and RAM are different companies now. Under the same umbrella that is Stellantis, but they each don't share the same philosophies. It'd be great if the Rebel could get fender flares as well, but at least they look alike. Makes sense unlike your comment...
@@question_it_701 They already do this with the Scat Pack Widebody, so its not too much to ask for.
“Worth it” is in the eyes of the beholder. I think for >95% of the owners the off-road capability difference is irrelevant. On the contrary most owners probably would get more benefit from the Rebel’s payload and mpg increases. That being said, it is difficult to put a value on someone’s happiness and driving the TRX is something that would put a smile on my face every day.
Well said!! That goes with any car or truck.
You hit the nail on the head. Impossible to measure pure happiness with a vehicle. Of course 95%+ people would never use the TRX to its full capabilities and even typical off road enthusiasts would be great with a Rebel, but the pure joy of driving and owning a TRX would be huge. Is it WORTH $35k more? Yeah, for sure. Is it practical to spend that much more for a truck with capabilities that you have zero business needing? No lol not at all. It is purely a luxury vehicle and pride/joy type of thing for people who can afford it. I'd love to own a TRX, but I have a 2021 Rebel that I love and plan to keep for several years (plus $35k more in my pocket).
the rebel puts a smile on my face every day
the trx would put a bigger smile on my face tho
I wasn’t expecting that tailgate on the rebel to drop like a sack of taters
Same, it scared me
Yeah that can’t be good for it, but it would be a trick to play on a friend walking by it or like when a uhaul guy is hooking up a trailer to your hitch😂 I’m kidding 😉
Mine doesn’t do that 2021
@@guyalhaig5977 it happens with all of them I find if u go thru car wash and it freezes and u try open it and it doesn’t and soon ass ice in there melts or u hit rough road it’ll drop haven’t had it happen in my 2016 rebel but my wife’s 2018 sport been twice but both times frozen after car wash haven’t had it drop if don’t try open it froze
my rebel does what the TRX did. idk why that thing dropped like that lol
Ram really stepped up their game with these two! I’m a Tacoma owner and seriously going to trade my taco in for a Rebel.
Did you get the Rebel yet? I’m thinking about trading for one as well.
I just traded my 4runner in for a rebel they gave me 40k for my 4runner so I'm happy with that

I'll be honest if it wasn't for the green these trucks are barely distinguishable at all from the front. Kinda disappointing Ram didn't make the TRX look more special considering what it is
Side by side they're almost identical. Shame.
It’s Ram. Are you really surprised ....
The front ends look pretty different if you ask me...
I’ve never been a big Dodge fan, but these new trucks are looking pretty amazing!
My budget would currently be either a base TRX or a fully loaded Rebel. I’m definitely leaning towards the Rebel
I was in the same boat with my 20 rebel. I had enough to pay out right for a rebel or make payments on a TRX, I went with the Rebel since I have dirt bikes and a heavy Harley I pull sometimes. Depends on what you will use the truck for. I done regret it one bit.
I just got a 2022 TRX with a window sticker of $94,090 for $77,767.
@@question_it_701 wow what dealer was that??
@@TheWatcher1182 Chapman in Horsham Pennsylvania. I think right now your best bet is Granger Dodge in Granger Iowa. They are giving similar deals. I don't think Chapman is anymore. You can read up on TRX forums. Dan Cummings in Ohio might also give similar deals. They were at the time
I'm building out a rebel right now, coming from a tacoma. Swarfworks hidden winch mount, warn zeon 12s platinum, diamondback cover, icon uca, clayton rear arms and springs, fox 2.5 DSC shocks, method race wheels. Itll be like a baby powerwagon, much more of a tool.
I daily drive my 2018 ram 1500 and I love it. Id probably pick the rebel over the trx just because of the practicality but that doesn't mean wouldn't love a trx.
I absolutely LOVE the green paint on the TRX 🤟🏼👍🏼
I literally had this question on my mind for the past 2-3 hours and kept comparing online... did u just read my mind or something?! XD thanks man this video is much needed!
A real shift knob instead of the goofy dash rotary dial.
They need to do that for all their trucks.
I still miss the column shift over both.
I would like to see a comparison to the Ram Power Wagon ( IMO the best bang for buck Ram)
I too comparison with power wagon.
Yes please!!!! This is the one I’m waiting for
Why compare I own rebel with shit ass air suspension power wagon was what I should have bought but trx over power wagon who buys truck looking for fuel economy lol
I own a power wagon i have the 2015 model it has over 175k miles and has not had any issues
Main reason I'd pick this over the power wagon is honestly the shifter. Not a fan of column shifters. Much prefer console ones. The ergonomics while driving are just more satisfying.
Thanks for the info, great info. When I bought my Rebel I didn't know the TRX existed. But I am very happy with my Rebel, I have the RAM Boxes, Spray-in Liner, and slow tailgate lowering, Interior has the full rubber mats. Mine has the 4WD auto button too. Would love the forward camera, cooling seats, and drive modes. I love the meaty sound of the TRX.
Love em both..But is it worth 35K more??? Not sure about that, but if I had tons of money I would definitely buy the TRX!!! That wrap is awesome Ben!😊👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
In 2016 Ram revealed the TRX concept, from that point I knew that was my dream truck. Fast Forward 2021 it became far more better than I spectated :)
At the time Ford Raptor had no direct competitor although Ram had the Ram-Runner from MOPAR and was able to beat the raptor off-road however it was not suited for on-road use, not to mention it was worth 90K+ at the time it only came with a modified 6.4L V8 with a 6 speed automatic no touch screen/bells and whistles.
Now in 2021 starting at 75K+ you get a brand new body frame that outperforms the old gen TRX with a 6.2L Super Charged V8 with 700+HP with far more bells and whistles than the Mopar Ram-Runner for 90K did not have.
I say the 35K plus are worth it for this Super Truck :)
What is needed is a TRX version with the 6.4 392 option vs the 6.2 blower to bring down the price point to around 65-70k loaded.
The red stitching in the TRX makes a huge difference on a black interior....AND I for one am glad the TRX at least has an option besides black wheels...my TRX will have these bead locks wheels just because that ain't black.
I have to agree with a lot of folks in here, in that the TRX does look very similar when parked side-by-side to a rebel. It is unfortunate that RAM didn’t do more to distinguish it as a standalone truck. That’s one thing you can’t say about the Raptor, whether you like Ford or not. If you see a Raptor going down the road you know it’s a Raptor and not a regular F150. That being said they did do a good job on the interiors and made them different.
I have had my 2021 Rebel for about 3 1/2 weeks and love it. Though, I have the night edition, which I think with the Graphite paint just makes it pOp all the better than the standard look, and mine also has the Auto 4WD function along with 2WD, which is a nice little addition. I will say after driving around town on the first tank of gas (will just have to fill up today at 350 miles on the truck) the MPG is just under 14 and I'm not really 'in' it all that much. Is the TRX a nice vehicle? Yes, but unless you are out in the sand dunes every weekend then why spend the 33ishK more for it? Nice truck and ignore the haters who don't understand MOPAR green, but I am more than happy with my Rebel.

Your comment was left almost 10 months ago now... I'm just curious how your thoughts and opinion holds up now that some time has passed?
Anyway, have a great day... I really look forward to hearing what you might have to say about the RAM now that you've got a few miles under your belt! 👍🏼🤟🏼🇺🇸🔥💯
@@jordanjohnson5784 still love the truck, have just under 11K miles on it. Had a TRX on order but canceled it because the Rebel is more than enough truck.
Just purchased a rebel too. Love it
Rebel for sure for me. I don’t think I would ever use all that power in the TRX to make it worth 35 more for my usage.
As the owner of a 2017 specially built Rebel, I’ve had 4 years to test mine out. The TRX looks awesome but I think the only big difference between the two in true rock crawling off roading would be a little bit of clearance. I’ve taken my truck where most people said I wouldn’t be able to go. Off-roading has a lot to do with experience. So unless your into drag racing for money or extreme Baja you can get more bang for your buck worth the Rebel.
Did you go air suspension or conventional? Curious your 4 year review of Air in off road situations.
@@JamesMcGinn14 I went with the 4 corner air suspension.
@@johnhelms246and how has it held up? Especially off road?
@@JamesMcGinn14 I personally never had any issues with the suspension. The only time I’ve ever had the suspension light come on is when I’ve over- loaded a trailer behind me. As far as off-roading goes as long as you stay below 25mph it will stay in off-road mode and you have max travel. Not sure if you’ve looked up some of the amateur videos I posted with my truck but it shows a little of what it can do.

I got my rebel 2023 for $73,000
It’s got the red and black interior
Hemi ETorque to tow (12,750lbs)
Digital gauge cluster
Sport mesh seats and ram box bed
All I’m missing now is that split tailgate if anyone knows where I can buy one besides eBay lol
Love my truck! It looks mean and I use it for my business all day everyday (I’m a contractor)
Constantly pulling trailers, hauling tools, materials Etc!
Oh also I pulled my 40ft pull behind camper through the mudd in the rain! And it did perfect! 9,000 lbs and all
17/22 MPG for the Ram Rebel (5.7L V8) - a full-size pickup truck... I'm getting the EXACT same MPG with my old '05 Ford Escape (XLT; 3.0L V6/AWD)! 🚙 Why am I getting such low MPG, considering it's a small SUV? A thirsty lil beast... I'd pick the Ram Rebel - just because it gets the same MPG, lol! The TRX is way too thirsty (and pricey) - for me, at least! 😆
Uh cause it’s a ford
Rather have a Power Wagon than either of these models . Even though that HP is awesome. I can’t justify putting 100k down on Rebel look a like with just a hood scoop and wide flares as the difference. Don’t get me wrong the TRX is hell of a truck , but I was so looking forward to the concept one being produced
$100k on a rebel, where tf do you live
The differences between the Rebel and TRX go just a little bit further than the hood scoop and flares... Just a little bit.
@@HurricaneLaughter dude he is talking about three TRX costing a 100k
@@ericperry72 yes I had noticed that, left the comment to humiliate myself 🤡
I just got a 2022 TRX with a window sticker of $94,090 for $77,767.
Honestly, I’d have both. Here’s why.
I’m Leasing the Rebel for an everyday driver. Plus Towing Capacity. I don’t need a 2500 so I’m good with 11k. It’s a beautiful interior, with a great sound system. 19 speakers with H&K and 12 inch screen. It’s my perfect truck for everyday life and just enjoying the truck overall.
Now TRX as it’s higher price with a lot of the same features. It’s my DREAM truck. It’s limited to towing capacity by a large margin. It’s not meant for towing in my opinion. It’s a truck made for speed and doing bad 🍑 stuff with it. TRX would be my garage truck. It’s honestly more for show then everyday driving. The bad fuel mileage would make anyone dread their live for every day driving lol.
Yes it’s worth the $35K, even if it’s just to be able to pull up on any Ford Raptor and know you can smoke them in a drag race! Don’t get me wrong I love Raptors and I would love the opportunity to own one, but you gotta respect the TRX.
Your funny ben that green looks pretty good on the trx!
@Burger King u
@Burger King Can I get a pile of garbage? A.K.A, the cheese sticks..
Driven both the trx and rebel and the rebel in my opinion is a better option as you can tow better better gas but still have the feel off a cool truck but the trx and just some next level badass shit 😂
I wanted the trx but I think it has too much power and extra stuff. So the rebel would be a better goal for me. And since the trx is almost 100k I would be too scared to mess it up, although the rebel is still pretty pricey. But hey props to anyone who gets the trx it’s very badass.
the interior is better in the rebel. plus the green just doesn't look good. I would also remove the headache rack and swap out the hood and grill.
It comes down to what you what/need in a truck. Either way you can’t lose.
Bro there is NO question about it.... I'm gonna save myself that $35k and get the REBEL.
Personally, I LOVE the REBEL, and for me... It offers pleeeennytyyy of power.
Well, I’m buying a new one next week. I really want the TRX but I’m settling for the Rebel because the price tag on the TRX is just more than I’m willing to spend. One thing to consider, if you live somewhere where they use salt on the roads in winter, both will be rusting out in 5 years. Dodge trucks are really bad about rusting out.
I can’t decide on which truck to get the Trx or the rebel the only thing the bothers me on the TRX is the fuel range
Same situation for me
That’s a really basic Rebel. My rebel is a 2020 with heated and cooled seats. Also, it has the side steps, the red stitching inside, the ram boxes, and air bags under for a 8in lift. In my opinion it’s not worth 35k for the TRX, if you want an off road truck get a Raptor but that was a base Rebel. You can damn near turn a Rebel into the TRX for 15k more still saving 20k. But a very good video nothing less
For sure it's worth the extra money, but it all boils down to that these 2 trucks our 2 totally different trucks ..😁
So true!
That “jolly rancher” color is lit 🔥
I have the 2019 Ram Rebel. It looks exactly like the Ram in red color except it doesn’t have the front parking sensor, 🍎 radio, and sunroof and I’m very happy with it. The MSRP of my truck was less than $42,000. After taxes, 4% interests, and $3500 bumper to bumper package excluding the tires, it cost me little less than $50,000. The TRX looks really cool. The vent in the center of the hood with led lights looks very stylish. However, I don’t think it’s worth $35,000 more despite the upgraded shocks and fancy interior. The TRX is less economic, the tire placed on the bed leaves a very nominal room for subcontractors like myself to use it for business. So overall, I find the reddish Ram and mine more practical and economic.
Rather than repeat comments that I’m sure many other people have made, I just want to point out the one flaw that I seem to find in all of these really really high-end factory produced off-road vehicles like the TRX and the Ford raptor. That is it seems like all of this off-road performance comes at the expense of payload capacity, so the question becomes who wants to pay upwards of $80,000 for a TRX or over $110,000 for Ford raptor to have a vehicle that can take you anywhere off Road, but because of the reduced payload capacity, after you load the truck with yourself, a full tank of gas and a few friends you really can’t take anything else with you?
I have a Rebel and I have put 7,000 dollars in up grades . To give it the off road look and proformance . You can upgrade the engine . With up grade mods. KNS cold air intake , super charger, Edge Pulsar. Looking to do all that.
I’m very proud of my 2020Rebel Blue 3.0L eco Diesel every day in Highway back and forth from home to work so much power/ fuel economy! I noticed people got crazy / jealous for my Blue boy I park at home in the street he smashed Egg in windshield now I parked in my garage so it won’t happen again
I say both of them and the Ram Rebel looks pretty cool
I wish they would just put out a Ram with the 6.4 WITHOUT the supercharger on it.
Guess I need to start a you tube video review business so I can afford a TRX, lol
When I see a 60,000 dollar truck without a Bed liner I flip my shit every time.
It’s absolutely wrong. That’s why I stay looking at 2019 fully loaded rebels for the cheaper price. These car manufacturers just pushing their luck seeing how much less they could put on the truck with buyers still buying.
Nice to see what we get from the rebel!
I just bought a 2021 Ram Rebel Night Edition all blacked out... It's amazing... drinks gas in the city though... but I never want to get out of the truck. LOL
@@DylanNichols1989 😂😂😂
I'd get the Rebel. 35 thousand is a big difference if that's your daily driver. I live in the city, and driving fast isn't much of an option in traffic plus traffic 🚦.
You could literally be hiding in the distance and wait for someone to walk past your tailgate on the Rebel and then hit the button on the remote and it would come down on them really fast. You could seriously kill someone with that tailgate!
Thanks Ben, your vid’s are helpful
I'm looking for the BEST truck to outrun zombies with all the bells and whistles and luxury package.
Top Speed Achieved 118 mph 😳😎 Awesome Bro.
REBEL fam all the way!!!
Congrats on 100k subs 👊. I like your ram video reviews
You said the hellcat engine is 20-30k. It's 21k and if you deduct the 5.7 hemi (8k) price from that It's really a 13k difference. So you're paying 17k-22k for a wide body and slightly better shocks and interior. The TRK looks great but the better value is the rebel.
Love the look of the TRX exterior, but it doesn't beat the Rebel in my eyes. I love my silver billet Rebel
4:53 lol free “snow”
If I had to choose, I’d go with the Rebel! I just can’t justify the TRX being almost $40,000 more
Both are nice trucks. My wallet says rebel but my desire days TRX
Will the TRX headlights fit a Rebel?
I think its definitely worth giving 35 thousand for the trx!
Hands down Ram made a Super truck, now the real issue comes on the affordability for us the middle class.
I love everything that the TRX offers which the only thing missing from the concept was the side exhaust pipes. However as Ben mentioned the Hellcat engine alone is worth 30K+ meaning the TRX body alone is worth around 45-50K. Everyday use the Hellcat engine is too expensive and too much power for my needs, 10-12 avg MPG is way too low and 700+ HP is way too much power. Ram will need to bring a lower Trim TRX with either a modified 392 Hemi around 500+ HP range and or a modified 5.7L Hemi around the mid 400+ HP Range, both engines are worth less than half of the cost the hellcat engine. The 392 Hemi is worth 10K+ and the 5.7L V8 HEMI is around 5K+ so a decently equipped RAM TRX with either engine under 60K is feasible.
So far will have to wait and see how Ram will respond to Ford for 2022 model years as the Predator is in the making along the new body frame improvements. Ford most likely will attack the price range with their base V6 Turbo.
That’s why the gas mileage is worse. There’s no 2wd.
Loving the green!!
Depends if you get a TRX that the transmission doesn't crap out on you.
Old enough to know that dodge has just recently come of age and was a out of date turd for a long time. Technician 31 years young grasshopper. PS they all use the German transmission and all are having problems!!!!
Ram needs to make a option with the rebel motor. The front grill looks way better. The wheels are prissy looking and need to be all black . I like it .the green looks great .they spare tire needs to move out of the way
I really like the TRX but I think I’m going to wait and see if they come out with one that isn’t all time 4x4.... that definitely wears things out faster and uses a lot more fuel.... you have a awesome truck... thanks for your videos buddy....
Zautomotive.com has a Tazer DT for it. The transfer case in the trx does have built in 2wd capabilities but ram didn't include it. The tazer unlocks it. It's awesome and I get 2mpg better in 2wd. Burnouts are amazing too. Lol. Check the video on my channel to see
That green sick but I get the rebel with green paint . Green color code
Ram needs to make the rebel hood vents fulling functional or stop using them for looks cause it cheapens the truck
Just wondering if the TRX cab will make it in the HD class? Only reason I haven’t bought a 2500 is the lack of a adjustable steering wheel
I like my rebel 12 fully loaded for what I need it for and I like my interior better too .hellcat engine is enticing but no real use for it and guzzles more gas! Nice truck if you can afford it but I constantly turn heads with mine, and looks about the same
Just purchased the Rebel and enjoy it however with the 3.92 gears I can't get anything near the sticker mpg. I had a 2016 big horn with the 3.2 gears and could see 21 hwy. Best so far on the hwy is 14mpg.
Damn where is that dealership it’s beautiful!
Anyone thinking of buying rebel with air suspension don’t the 2021 same as my 2016 and it sucks bad in winter on fourth compressor since 2016 the system has no dryer for the lines and condensation freezes leaving them flat then burns out compressor trying to pump up and csnt
I love holiday green TRX
You should use a mic on your videos, that way your voice is coming in clearer and not sort of muffled or distanced. Like when you turn your head from the mic on the device. Food for thought.
Like comparing a suburban to a escalade

I agree. My ‘20 Rebel tailgate has a soft drop.
Yes TRX,,,, I HAVE THE POWER WAGON 2500 6.4
I don’t really like neither of those rim designs but if i had to choose one it would be the Rebel’s
I would go for the TRX
I’m so sorry about that wrap. Maybe a video of peeling it off will get some views to help pay for it 🙏🤦🏻♂️
LMAO 😂🤣
Like the green. How did you get ahold of it. My dealer said its not available
The airbag issue of condensation freezing in the lines in the rebel still hasn’t been fixed in 2021 s and I own 2016 winter would b fun if could drive with air in the bags 🤬
Why does the Rebel not have a damper for the tailgate? My 21 Big Horn Night Edition has a damper for the tailgate.
I wonder if the trx grill and hood fit on the rebel? Anyone know?
Wait does that mean the Rebel has the Hellcat Engine like the TRX?
Sad, 10 miles and the back seat cover already has a hole in it
I absolutely love the TRX it's king 👑 of Trucks but, If I bought one I'd be little upset that it looks so similar to the rebel visually. I think ram should've made it little more different or just look more aggressive. From far you could easily mistake it for a rebel If you don't look at details.
Raptor (don't like it because of the V6) on the other hand looks very different than a regular f150
Hey Ben Hardy are you going to comparing the Drive of both of them?
Yes
I like it pretty much, it is my dream ride , but I can't afford that much.
This is like comparing a Corvette to a Camaro. People who can't afford a Corvette buy the Camaro but if they had the money the majority would choose the Corvette. I am buying a TRX because I just can't get excited for the plain jane Rebel..
Is that TRX yours? Just curious, I noticed you said "I debadged the tailgate". So I figured it probably must be your personal vehicle?
If so, nice choice!
AHHAHAHAHA THAT SLAM OF THE REBEL COME ON xd
Bro whyyyy!!!??!? I’m so sorry, but the green looks awful
