4 in., as this was the Quad Cab and came with only this particular bed. Fun fact: when making turns at night, the Rebel would activate corner lights that shone in the corresponding direction, deactivating them once I put the steering wheel straight again. The DRLs ran underneath and didn’t impede the headlights from doing their job at night. The headlights were a big change for the 2019 model year, and I liked them. I was a fan of the two-tone paint, unique wheels, and a fascia that exuded rugged and ready attitude. The Rebel's exterior was awesome, in my opinion. Below, a buff bumper held a skidplate-looking piece that drew the eyes toward a pair of tow hooks barely poking out. Ram retained the interesting trapezoid-esque shape of the grille, surrounding a large silver “RAM” logo. The sleek look of the sides was complemented by a “face” that reinforced the Rebel’s attitude. The look of the truck from any angle was always pleasing, with the Flame Red and Diamond Black two-tone paint giving the pickup that extra bit of boldness. Nothing put a smile on my face quicker than walking outside and seeing the Rebel waiting for me, its engine already purring thanks to remote start. ” That’s what I wanted to fix by getting my hands on a Rebel for a full week. It wasn’t exactly what I would call “in-depth. surface streets, complete with traffic stops and potholes. Ram invited me and several other journos to Los Angeles to check out the pickup, and for what it was, the experience was “meh” it consisted entirely of L.A. You may remember back in April 2018, I did a “first impressions” take on the truck and its highlights. Now, this isn’t the first time I’ve gotten to drive the Rebel. Ram has kept it going since then, and given it a refresh with the 2019 model year. With a bold front grille, striking body lines, and some simple buffs to the suspension, the Rebel was quickly associated with the Raptor, but it wasn’t quite up to snuff with Ford’s prerunner extraordinaire. Perhaps as a way to remedy that, perhaps simply as a smart decision, Ram gave the 1500 another look in 2016 and called it the Rebel, gearing it toward off-road and outdoors fun. Ford has the Raptor, GM has the Colorado ZR2, Toyota has the Tacoma TRD Pro, and Ram has the Power Wagon, although it doesn’t get as much media attention as it deserves. Everyone loves an off-road halo model, especially automakers.
