Everything Ram Rebel

Seems like this 2021 is very nicely equipped

I like all the skid plates

 

[Mekcanix]

thats sounds like a nice truck

Look at the skidplates and make sure they are what you want, OE skidplates are usually not much to write home about if you really offroad.

It does look like a nicely equipped truck. That being said, with the Rebels off road biased suspension and that amount of options added on, I would check the payload rating for that truck to ensure it will meet your needs. Do you plan on hauling or towing with this truck?

Put a few fat Americans in a full size truck and they only have a 5k tow capacity when you factor in the needed 10% tongue weight- that before you put anything in the bed of the truck.

8 Speed 8HP75 transmission

8 way power driver seat
8 way power passenger seat

Heated second row seats (HATE my silverado has zero rear HVAC)

Heated steering wheel

Power folding mirrors

Remote start

Panoramic sunroof

33 gallon fuel tank

Spray in bed liner

Are there any bed power outlets? Window sticker says 115v "rear" power outlet

I love all the 115v and 12V auxiliary power outlets listed

The multifunction tailgate seems cool also

 

[85_Ranger4x4]

Multifunction tailgate does effect tonneau covers if you were thinking about one of those. Not all accommodate that option, same with Rambox if you are of that persuasion.

 

[D45]

I would not consider the Ram Box option

I would eventually get a cap for the bed, not a tonneau cover

Official website for Jolly Rogue Co., home of the Ram 1500 DT Rebel Boogielander build and the Bible/ go-to source for how to properly build a Ram 1500 truck. Quality parts used only. #teamnomickeymouseshit

jollyrogueco.com

i got the tires, suspension, lighting, skid plate, slider situation all detailed here.

not bragging but really bragging this is the bible for the ultimate overland build on Ram 1500 DT platform.

so i just looked at that window sticker you posted. pretty good specced truck. the only thing about 21 is it still has UConnect 4 and not UConnect 5 in the 12in screen, which does NOT feature wireless carplay. you will have to plug it in or find aftermarket workaround.
other than that it seems like it's a good spec.

if you do get the Rebel, skip that 0w-20 oil weight printed on the cap and go 0W-40, 5W-30, or 5W-40 depending on your usage and environment. 0W-20 is way too thin for these engines.
Also, it seems like it doesn't have air suspension, which is good.

Dust intrusion isn't really an issue for me on my 22, and I say that after completing the trip to Arctic Ocean and Alaska with thousands of miles on dirt. In fact, I've never heard of that issue, but I heard more about the back window leak issue.

currently at like 38k on my 2022. of that 38k, about 13k was put on it in August and September of 2024 to go to Alaska and Arctic Ocean. No issue or whatsoever with it running 6hrs + a day for 50 days. um... what else...

oh, don't be putting on 4"+ lift kits and big wheels with thin tires. that thing's whack AF lol

feel free to message me on IG @ram_rebel_dt_eric if you got questions and want answers quick. i build overlanding and offroading rigs for career and sit in office on Monday and Tuesdays, so that's when i get on here lol

How is the Ram 8 speed transmission holding up?

Does it have a dipstick or is it sealed?

 

[D45]

Looks like no dipstick for the trans fluid.....

The 8HP75 is used in the Ram 1500 with the 5.7L V8 HEMI or the 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 SRT. It's also paired with the 6.4L HEMI V8 engine in the Ram 3500.

 

[D45]

The 2021 Ram is currently running 35" tires......is it lifted? Able to clear that stock?

The wheels are obviously aftermarket

Stock tires are LT275/70R18, right?
Roughly a 33.2x10.8?

so i just looked at that window sticker you posted. pretty good specced truck.

I think it's definitely equipped well. Are there hvac vents for the rear cab/rear seat passengers?

if you do get the Rebel, skip that 0w-20 oil weight printed on the cap and go 0W-40, 5W-30, or 5W-40 depending on your usage and environment. 0W-20 is way too thin for these engines.

Interesting. My silverado uses 0W-20

Also, it seems like it doesn't have air suspension, which is good.

I want nothing to do with the air suspension

 

[bdp1978]

Plenty of HVAC....full vents to the rear of the truck.
