It offers a very nice stability whether it&#8217;s on an asphalt road or on a dirt road full of imperfections.<\/p>\n<p>You might also think that because of its 1<strong>8-inch black aluminum wheels with LT275\/70R18E all-terrain tires<\/strong> that the vehicle would tend to take all the bumps in the road. Don&#8217;t worry about that.

You also have the 3\u00a0L EcoDiesel V6 engine also paired with an optional 8-speed automatic transmission with electronic shifting.<\/p>\n<p>The RAM REBEL 1500 also offers a towing capacity of 5,216 kg (11,499 lb). This is perfect for construction workers towing their trailers with all their work tools as well as families who want to tow their trailers for weekend camping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_CABIN_THAT_OFFERS_SPACE\"><\/span>A CABIN THAT OFFERS SPACE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23150&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The interior comfort that RAM offers for the Rebel 1500 is <strong>indisputable<\/strong>. I was able to test the space offered both in the front and in the back during a girls&#8217; day out. Even with three girls in the back, none of them complained about discomfort or being too close to the passenger next to them.<\/p>\n<p>The same is true for the legroom offered to front seat passengers. I must admit that I am not very tall, so there was enough room for the person behind me. However, the front passenger was still almost 6 feet tall and the person sitting behind her was not short on space at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The rear seat also folds down for additional storage<\/strong>. The front console is also very convenient and allows for a lot of storage, whether it&#8217;s for workers on the road who can store a tablet, straps, etc., or for a family who just wants to store snacks, tissues, or all the other essentials for the road.<\/p>\n<p>A customizable 7&#8243; integrated display center is offered on the dashboard. This is enormously handy when you need to use the GPS with Apple CarPlay (which is actually capable of connecting via either USB or Bluetooth).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OPTIONAL_EQUIPMENT\"><\/span>OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23151&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]A list of optional equipment is also available:<\/p>\n<p><strong>EQUIPMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sunroof<\/li>\n<li>Heated front seats<\/li>\n<li>Heated rear seats<\/li>\n<li>Heated steering wheel<\/li>\n<li>Head-up display<\/li>\n<li>360\u00b0 camera<\/li>\n<li>Blind spot detection<\/li>\n<li>Forward collision warning<\/li>\n<li>Autonomous emergency braking<\/li>\n<li>Lane departure warning<\/li>\n<li>Remote starter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>PACKAGES AND AMENITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Body Convenience Package<\/li>\n<li>Level 1 Safety Package<\/li>\n<li>Level 1 Equipment Package<\/li>\n<li>Towing Package<\/li>\n<li>Technology Package<\/li>\n<li>Night Edition<\/li>\n<li>Level 2 Equipment Group<\/li>\n<li>Advance Safety Package<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>MULTIMEDIA<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apple CarPlay Compatibility<\/li>\n<li>Android Auto Compatibility<\/li>\n<li>Sirius XM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MY_IMPRESSIONS\"><\/span>MY IMPRESSIONS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23152&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>I was honestly surprised by what the 2021 RAM REBEL 1500 had to offer. Whether it was for a girls&#8217; afternoon at the sugar shack or a family outing with my son, it met all my expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The REBEL even made my life easier when it was time to go to the daycare, as my boy was just eager to get in the vehicle. However, not once did I have an easy time getting him out of the RAM. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n<p>I always felt in control of the vehicle despite its seemingly intimidating appearance. You <strong>quickly feel safe<\/strong> and, I must say, I was proud to drive a monster like this. I can attest the daredevil effect this vehicle had on other drivers I passed on the road.<\/p>\n<p>The model I was lucky enough to test-drive also had an exhaust system that had just enough of a satisfying growl to get attention, but not enough to make a long drive unpleasant. The center console screen was also handy when it came to operating the GPS or adjusting the cabin and bench temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, for a vehicle with an MSRP starting at $64,400, I 100% recommend it. This vehicle will, without a doubt, attract attention, provide everything you want for a vehicle in this price range and will undeniably be useful in everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ROX\"><\/span><em>ROX<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_cta h2=&#8221;These articles could also be of interest&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"penci-entry-title entry-title grid-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_RAM_1500_TRX_MAMMOTH_a_high_performance_vehicle\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/cars\/ram-1500-trx-mammoth-performance\/\">The RAM 1500 TRX MAMMOTH: a high performance vehicle!<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"penci-entry-title entry-title grid-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_date_with_a_2021_Ford_F-150\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/cars\/my-date-with-a-2021-ford-f-150\/\">My date with a 2021 Ford F-150<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"penci-entry-title entry-title grid-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FORD_BRONCO_2021_TEST_DRIVE_Fords_wild_horse_is_back\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/cars\/ford-bronco-2021-test-drive\/\">FORD BRONCO 2021 TEST DRIVE: Ford\u2019s wild horse is back<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] I fell in love with the 2021 RAM REBEL&hellip;","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23153,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1764],"tags":[2999,3478,3202,1831],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25086"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
