Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is looking to appeal to these buyers with the 2019
Ram 1500 Rebel 12 special edition. Designed to combine luxury,
technology and off-road prowess, the Ram 1500 Rebel 12 has an upgraded interior
that includes leather upholstery, heated front seats and metal speaker grilles
with Radar Red anodized accents. The truck also comes equipped with a Uconnect
4C infotainment system which features a 12-inch touchscreen display and GPS
navigation.
Buyers will find a Harman Kardon
premium audio system with 19 speakers and a 900-watt amplifier. The audio
system also has a 10-inch subwoofer and active noise cancellation technology. Since the special edition is
based on the Ram 1500 Rebel, it has a factory-lift kit, skid plates and tow
hooks. Other off-road focused goodies include Bilstein shocks, a locking rear
differential and 33-inch tires.
The Ram 1500 Rebel 12 will go into production later
this year and pricing will start at US$ 46,990 – excluding a US$ 1,695 destination.
The special edition package will be available with all traditional Rebel
powertrain options.
Speaking of the latter, the Ram 1500 Rebel comes
standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 305 hp and 364 Nm of torque. The engine has eTorque technology and this can
add an extra 122 Nm of torque for short periods of time.
The truck can also be equipped with a more powerful
5.7-liter HEMI V8 which churns out 395 hp and 556
Nm of torque.
There’s also a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with eTorque
technology. The powertrain is still rated at 395 hp and 556 Nm of torque, but its belt-driven motor generator reduces fuel
consumption and can deliver up to 176 Nm of torque for short
periods of time.
