Today's off-road truck needs to do it all. You want something that conquers rough trails but doesn't beat you up in the process. The 2026 RAM 1500 Rebel delivers exactly that balance. It takes everything great about the Ram 1500 and pushes it further with purpose-built upgrades for serious terrain. This isn't a cosmetic package. It's a complete rethinking of what a pickup truck can handle.

Every component of the RAM Rebel is chosen with extreme conditions in mind. From the reinforced suspension that soaks up trail obstacles to the protective features that keep you and your passengers safe, this truck is engineered for real adventure. Whether you're navigating rocky backroads or muddy trails around Sauk City, the 2026 RAM 1500 Rebel gives you the confidence to push boundaries.

Purpose-Built Performance

The heart of this machine is a 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-6 engine delivering 420 horsepower at 5,200 RPM. That power flows through an 8-speed automatic transmission to a capable 4x4 drivetrain, putting strength exactly where you need it. The Crew Cab configuration with a 5-foot-7-inch box gives you room for passengers and plenty of space for gear. When traction gets tricky, the electronic locking rear axle ensures power goes to the wheels that can use it most.

What happens underneath makes all the difference on the trail. This off-road truck comes equipped with automatic or part-time four-wheel drive, complete with skid plates protecting vital components from rocks and debris. Hill Descent Control gives you confidence on steep downhills, letting the truck manage speed while you focus on steering. The coil suspension includes a 1-inch factory lift, providing 9.7 inches of ground clearance to tackle obstacles with ease.

Want even more capability? The available four-corner air suspension takes things further with a 2-inch lift and an impressive 10.7 inches of ground clearance. The RAM Rebel rolls on aggressive 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac all-terrain tires that grip in mud, snow, and loose surfaces. Inside, you'll command everything from a 12-inch programmable digital cluster that keeps critical information right in your sight line.

Built to Work as Hard as You Do

Real capability means handling whatever you throw at it. With a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 7,100 pounds, this pickup truck provides a solid foundation for serious work and play. Load up to 1,600 pounds of payload in the bed without breaking a sweat. Need to tow? Hook up your trailer and pull up to 11,140 pounds, whether that's a camper for weekend getaways or equipment for the job site. The Gross Combined Weight Rating of 17,000 pounds means this off-road truck handles the complete weight of vehicle, cargo, and trailer with confidence.

Inside, you'll find comfortable seating for five and a generous 132 cubic feet of passenger space, so your crew rides in comfort even when you're loaded down with gear. The RAM Rebel works just as well dropping kids at school as it does tackling remote trails on the weekend. Fuel efficiency matters when you're covering miles, and the available EcoDiesel engine delivers impressive range without sacrificing the torque you need for towing and hauling.

Smart Technology Meets Rugged Capability

The 2026 RAM 1500 Rebel combines raw strength with intelligent technology. The advanced Uconnect system keeps you connected to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle information even on remote trails. When you're back on the highway, Hands-Free Active Driving Assist makes long drives more comfortable by helping manage steering on well-marked roads.

Safety systems work constantly to protect what matters most. Multiple airbags provide comprehensive coverage throughout the cabin, while side-impact beams reinforce the structure. Four-wheel ABS with Brake Assist gives you confident stopping power in any condition. Traction control and electronic stability control with anti-rollover protection keep this off-road truck planted and predictable. Blind-spot detection and forward-collision warning with mitigation help you avoid hazards, while ParkSense front and rear parking sensors take the guesswork out of tight spaces.
