A Ram With No Sheepish Tendencies

Sometimes, somewhere in the dreams of car owners, car lovers and everybody else, there comes an idea that challenges the way we consumer cars. Trucks are a favorite of quite a sizable chunk of consumers.

They off-road capabilities while still maintaining a city status make them a go-to all-rounder vehicles. If you probably thought that the Ram Rebel was only best fitted for the countryside donkey work, wait until you see the features such as a new 12-inch touchscreen that’s powered by FCA’s Uconnect infotainment system.

The Rebel has a variety of trims under it but one that might get more adaptation presents four-wheel drive, air springs, and the optional 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.

You might also land on one fitted with Fiat Chrysler’s eTorque 48-volt hybrid system. This is actually the base standard option.

On either option, a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic controlled by a rotary dial on the dash is the only available transmission. Exterior notables include a more aggressive grille, fender flares, hood vents, enhanced undercarriage protection, heavier and better-curved bumpers as well as more ground clearance given by the larger tires.

Granted, the Ram Rebel is making a generational shift. As such, it isn’t surprising that it has undergone major uplifts leaping into 2019.
