Ram Heavy Duty Rebel features a unique combination of technology, performance and a distinctive exterior appearance straight from the factory.

The Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel utilizes Power Wagon’s structure and off-road prowess as a base while offering an alternative that off-road truck customers have been clamoring for: an available 6.7-litre Cummins Turbo Diesel I-6 engine that produces 370 horsepower and 850 lb.-ft. of torque with a powerband that provides ample torque starting at 1,700 rpm. The 68RFE six-speed automatic transmission is standard with the turbo diesel option.

Exterior styling cues are shared with Power Wagon but Rebel features unique badging and a sport performance hood from Mopar. Ram Heavy Duty Rebel also features a unique off-road suspension, a rear limited-slip differential and rear electronic locker, 18-inch wheels (optional 20-inch wheels – late availability), 33-inch off-road tires and skid plates that protect the fuel tank and transfer case. Cargo tie-downs are standard while a spray-in bedliner, LED bed lighting and bed step are available.

An integrated front-mounted WARN Zeon-12 winch, rated at 5,443 kg (12,000 lbs.), is available on 2023 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel models equipped with the 6.4-litre HEMI V8 engine. The winch is installed at the factory and features a unique fairlead and fairlead retainer that utilizes a synthetic line that is maneuverable and won’t kink or fray.

Ram Heavy Duty trucks already feature a segment-leading suspension system with the best ride and handling, loaded or unloaded. The new 2023 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel utilizes this exclusive five-link coil design that provides enhanced load-carrying characteristics and articulation. An available rear air suspension system is also available and further enhances best-in-class ride and handling qualities. Maximum towing for the 2023 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel is 3,116 kilograms (16,870 pounds) and maximum payload is 1,424 kilograms (3,140 pounds).

A standard 12-inch frameless digital gauge cluster features nearly two dozen different menus. The full-colour cluster features five reconfigurable tiles for at-a-glance data, or quick and easy access to the most used information. Drivers may choose between analog or digital instrumentation.
