If you are searching for a Dodge Rebel truck, you want the Ram 1500 Rebel. Ram became its own brand in 2010, so the Rebel is no longer badged as a Dodge. The 2025 Rebel is an off-road Ram 1500 with a 420-hp Hurricane six-cylinder, 33-inch tires and a one-inch factory lift.
Quick answer: The 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel (often called the Dodge Rebel) uses a 3.0 L twin-turbo inline-six making 420 hp and about 469 lb-ft, an 8-speed automatic and standard 4×4. It rides on 33-inch all-terrain tires with Bilstein shocks and can tow roughly 11,500 lb in the best configuration.

What makes the Rebel different from a regular Ram 1500
- A one-inch higher ride height and 33-inch all-terrain tires
- Bilstein shocks and an electronically locking rear differential
- Skid plates, tow hooks and a blacked-out look
- Large screens, including a 14.5-inch central display on the tested truck
The Rebel X adds special styling and extra trail features. See our Ram Rebel X specs for that version.
Is the Rebel a good fit?
It suits buyers who want a comfortable daily pickup that also handles trails and gravel roads. It is less suited to heavy towing than a Ram with a different axle ratio or the High Output engine, and fuel use is high. One reviewer averaged about 16.4 mpg US (roughly 14 L/100 km) in mixed driving.
Prices change often. A well-equipped Rebel can cost well above the base price, so check the current Canadian price with a dealer. For other Ram trims, compare the 2025 Ram 1500 specs guide and the Ram 1500 Big Horn specs.
