2025 RAM 1500 REBEL FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel receives a significant update, most notably ditching the V8 Hemi for a standard-output 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six Hurricane engine, producing 420 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque. This new powertrain offers a substantial power and torque increase over the outgoing V8, with torque available much lower in the rev range, making the truck feel quicker off the line. The reviewer highlights the improved fuel efficiency, averaging around 16 MPG with a large 33-gallon tank, allowing for over a week of driving on a single fill. The interior boasts a standard 12-inch screen (14-inch optional, as seen here), a wealth of physical controls, and extensive customization options through the infotainment system, including numerous camera views. While the ride is comfortable and quiet, the reviewer notes that the seats lack sufficient bolstering and support for extended periods. Towing capacity has decreased slightly compared to previous V8 and V6 models, now topping out around 11,400 lbs, which may be a concern for some users. Despite the high price tag for this loaded model ($81,000), the reviewer praises the overall comfort, spaciousness, and the helpfulness of the advanced camera systems for daily driving and off-roading.
