Today's test drive's took us to a local Dodge where we tested the 2019 RAM 1500 Rebel Quad-Cab 4x4.

The Rebel Quad-Cab 4x4 trim had a powerful Hemi V8 under the hood. These all-new RAM 1500 models are not to be confused with the 2019 Classic RAM 1500 pickups still available, which start at just $27,395 in V6 trim.

Ram 1500 Rebel 4x4 (1).jpg — The Rebel is part of the all-new Ram 1500 series, highlighted by a great looking front end upgrade, suspension tweaks and more interior amenities over and above the Classic 1500 series. There are six all-new RAM models to choose from.
Formerly known to Chrysler and truck owners as the Dodge RAM pickup, Chrysler decided to drop the Dodge moniker from its RAM pickup marketing, although the "Ram Tough" ideology is clearly top of mind to this day. Assisting the all-new RAM 1500 in consumer impressions is the 2019 Motor Trend magazine "Pickup of the Year" award, a most coveted honor amongst manufacturers.

Ram 1500 Rebel 4x4 (2).jpg — These trucks offer both work duty mechanicals and modern day, multi-passenger creature comforts that are found in the best of a cars, crossovers and SUVs.
In summary, there's nothing quite like an American built full size pickup, and the all-new 2019 RAM is a fine example of a multi-functional contemporary pickup.
Built in Sterling Heights, Michigan, our test RAM Rebel came with a 5.7 liter Hemi V8 that delivers 15 city and 21 highway EPA fuel mileage. The Hemi connects to a highway friendly heavy duty eight-speed automatic transmission and then transfers the power through a 3.92 gear ratio. The result is a pickup that will accelerate quickly yet still deliver surprisingly decent fuel mileage for such a large pickup.

Updated Nov 21, 2019

Ram 1500 Rebel 4x4 (3).jpg — Every 2019 RAM Rebel Quad-Cab 4x4 comes equipped with heavy duty off-road underpinnings that protects and assists while having fun on the weekends. All the expected skid and protection plates come standard and the 18-inch aluminum wheels on 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Dura Trac raised white letter tires help in Rebel's final off-road presentation.
As for engines, the Rebel's standard 3.6 V6 delivers 305 horses and 269 lb. ft. of torque and delivers 17 city and 25 highway fuel mileage attached to the eight-speed automatic. If you're more into economy and don't need more hauling power, drive the Rebel V6 first to allow for a good comparison.
However, if some serious "work truck" performance is in your future or you just want more power, the 395-horse 5.7 Hemi offers 410 lb. ft. of torque, can tow some pretty hefty cargo and accelerate with authority. The choice is yours as to engines, but rest assured your RAM Rebel will be ready to perform.
