Ram has been keeping busy these days, with a freshened look for its 1500 pickup truck and a new family of turbocharged inline-six engines replacing its storied Hemi V-8s for the 2025 model year. But rather than slow down and trickle out an off-road special here and there over the coming months, the company is launching a full lineup of three mud and dirt specialists at once: the new Rebel, RHO and Warlock.
The RHO is aimed directly at Ford’s F-150 Raptor, offering Baja-inspired performance for well under the 702-horsepower Ram TRX’s six-figure price tag. With a base price of $71,990 (all prices include $1,995 destination), it’s available to order now and will be at dealerships in the third quarter of 2024.
The Rebel wears 33-inch all-terrain tires and rides an inch higher than standard four-wheel-drive Rams. It’s fitted with unique Bilstein shocks and a softer rear sway bar. It also wears a front skid plate, blacked-out grille and black powder-coated front bumper with tow hooks. In addition to its 14.5-inch central touchscreen, the Rebel gets a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen in front of the passenger that allows them to manage connected devices and the navigation system, view the exterior cameras and stream entertainment through an HDMI input.
All Rebels feature black leather upholstery, but the available Rebel X adds perforated inserts with red backing, red stitching and silver highlights. Other equipment includes a panoramic moonroof, power tailgate, heated seats front and rear, heated steering wheel, two wireless phone chargers and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. The Rebel X also includes Ram’s new Rough Road Cruise Control, which scans the road ahead and adjusts the dampers and steering weight to increase stability.
Available exclusively with the crew cab and 5-foot-7-inch bed, the Rebel is powered by the standard-output Hurricane turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, which makes 420 horsepower and 469 pounds-feet of torque. It uses an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Ram 1500 Rebel is on sale now and starts at $66,190.
Ram 1500 Warlock
The Warlock takes its name from the Warlock trucks of the 1970s and turns the Ram 1500 into something of a Rebel Lite. It, too, features a 1-inch lift, Bilstein shocks, skid plates, tow hooks and a black grille. In addition, it wears black exterior badging and black dual-exhaust tips. Unique Warlock decals for the hood and bedsides are available.
Cloth seating and smaller screens — a 7-inch display in the instrument cluster and 8.4-inch touchscreen — help keep the Warlock’s price down. Also powered by the 420-hp Hurricane engine, it’s priced from $56,255 and is on sale now.
