Tate Branch Hobbs
2026 Model Year
Standard 4x4, a standard twin-turbo Hurricane I6, and off-road hardware built for the caliche roads and section lines around Hobbs and Lea County. Rebel is Ram's off-road half-ton, ready for trail or trailer.
Rebel sits in the off-road half of the 10-trim 2026 Ram 1500 lineup — the value-oriented counterpart to the higher-output RHO. Where Warlock focuses on a rugged look at a lower price, Rebel backs its styling with real off-road hardware: an electronic locking rear differential, front and rear Bilstein performance-tuned shocks, a 1-inch raised ride height, and 33-inch tires, standard on every build.
Rebel comes standard with the 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6 — Ram's newest engine and, on paper, more powerful than the returning 5.7L HEMI V8, which remains available for buyers who want the traditional V8 character. A standard 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen and 12-inch digital cluster with real-time pitch-and-roll monitoring round out the cabin.

Interior
Rebel's cabin centers on a standard 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 12-inch digital gauge cluster that displays real-time pitch and roll for off-road driving. A 14.5-inch touchscreen is available for buyers who want the largest display in the lineup.
Standard Wi-Fi hotspot capability and wireless smartphone integration keep the cabin connected on trail or highway alike.
Off-Road & Towing
Rebel is offered in Quad Cab or Crew Cab configurations with Short (5'7") or Standard (6'4") bed lengths, and a standard Class IV hitch with a 7-pin connector on every build. Standard hardware includes skid plates, high-approach off-road bumpers, an electronic locking rear differential, and front/rear Bilstein performance-tuned shocks on a 1-inch raised ride height.
With the standard 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6, Rebel tows up to 11,140 lbs when properly equipped. Stepping up to the available 5.7L HEMI V8 raises that slightly to as much as 11,320 lbs, though the exact rating depends on cab, bed, axle ratio, and options.
Safety
IIHS testing on the current-generation Ram 1500 Crew Cab rates the structure "Good" in the small overlap front and side tests, with some trims scoring "Acceptable" on headlights, and "Poor" in the moderate overlap front test under the updated evaluation.
Available driver-assistance features on Rebel include blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and forward collision warning. NHTSA has not yet published a specific 2026 star rating at the time of this page's writing.
