Off-Road Equipment
- Electronically locking rear differential.
- Underbody skid plates and front tow hooks.
- Rough Road Cruise Control, which holds a set low speed (up to about 20 mph) on rough ground while you steer.
- Available Active-Level air suspension on compatible builds. It is not standard on the coil-spring truck.
The Rebel X is a trail-capable daily driver, not a high-speed desert truck like the 540 hp Ram RHO. The RHO and the rest of the range are covered in our 2025 Ram lineup overview.
Tech and Comfort
- 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital cluster.
- Available 10.25-inch passenger display and dual wireless charging.
- Heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and heated steering wheel, depending on the group.
Towing and Payload
Ram’s guide lists model-line maximums that do not apply to the Rebel X. Dealer listings cite up to roughly 11,000 lb of towing and 1,600 lb of payload for the Rebel X, but the payload on your own truck will be lower once options are added. Read the door-jamb label before you load or tow.
- Tongue weight counts against payload.
- A weight-distributing hitch is recommended for heavier trailers.
- A trailer brake controller does not raise any rating.
Price and Availability in Canada
Ram Canada opened Rebel X orders for 2026, and one report puts the starting price near CA$91,175 including the required Rebel Level 2 group. Prices change with model year and options, so confirm with a Canadian Ram dealer.
Is the Rebel X Worth It
- Yes, if: you want Rebel hardware plus a loaded cabin and Rough Road Cruise Control.
- No, if: you want a HEMI V8, the highest payload or a lower price. Compare the Ram 1500 Big Horn or the Ram 1500 TRX.
Use the NHTSA or Transport Canada recall databases to check any specific truck’s VIN.
