Beast mode activated: The Ram 1500 Rebel roars into Phl

The Ram 1500 Rebel arrives in the Philippines, bringing its rugged off-road prowess and high-tech features to local truck enthusiasts. Distributed by Inchcape Philippines under IC Automotive Inc., this powerhouse truck is set to shake up the scene with its mix of brute strength, luxury and cutting-edge technology.

Since Ram Trucks became a stand-alone brand 15 years ago, it has earned a reputation for building some of the toughest, most capable trucks on the planet. The Ram 1500 Rebel continues that legacy with a bold design, serious off-road capability, and a cabin packed with modern comforts.

The Ram 1500 Rebel is truly a head-turner, and this latest model keeps that tradition alive. The truck gets a refreshed design while maintaining its signature bold and muscular stance.

It sports an imposing new grille and sleek aerodynamics. The lighting setup is all-LED, including the Low/High Reflector Headlamps, Automatic Headlamps, Front Fog Lamps and Auto High Beam Control.

The truck’s profile from the side is streamlined for improved aerodynamics, while its two-tone paint and Mopar Black Tubular Side Steps add to its rugged appeal. The rear is equally impressive, with a Dual Exhaust featuring Black Tips, a Truck Bed Cargo Divider, and the RamBox Cargo Management System, which now includes a 115-volt outlet for added convenience. One standout feature? The Power Tailgate — something no other truck in the country offers.

To ensure it’s ready for action straight from the showroom, the Ram 1500 Rebel sits on 18-inch Gloss Black Wheels wrapped in 275/70R18 All-Terrain Tires. It also comes equipped with Front and Rear Performance Tuned Shock Absorbers, an On-Demand Transfer Case, a Rear Locking Differential, and 4 Skid Plates for superior off-road performance.

Under the hood, the Ram 1500 Rebel packs a punch with its 3.0L I6 Hurricane SO Twin Turbo ESS engine. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, it churns out an impressive 420 HP at 5,200 RPM and 635 Nm of torque at 3,500 RPM. Whether you’re climbing steep trails or cruising on the highway, this truck delivers the power and efficiency needed for any journey.

Inside, you’ll find a well-designed cockpit focused on both luxury and functionality. The driver settles into an 8-way power-adjustable seat with memory, while the front passenger enjoys a 6-way power adjustment for a personalized level of comfort. Heated and ventilated seats in the front ensure year-round comfort, while the second row also features heated seats for passengers. The heated steering wheel offers a cozy grip on chilly mornings, and a bright rotary shifter adds a refined touch to the controls.

For those who demand top-tier connectivity, the truck doesn’t disappoint. It now boasts a massive 14.4-inch touchscreen, the largest ever offered on a Ram, powered by the latest Uconnect 5 system. This cutting-edge system operates five times faster than its predecessor and provides seamless integration with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also features GPS navigation, an intuitive interface with a customizable home screen, and the ability to store up to five user profiles — each with personalized music, climate settings, and app preferences. A rear seat reminder alert helps keep passengers safe, while the rear 60/40 folding seat and under-seat storage compartments provide clever storage solutions. In addition, a dual wireless charger ensures devices stay powered up during every adventure.

The premium cabin experience is complete with the stunning 19-speaker Harman Kardon Sound System. The crystal-clear audio delivers an immersive experience like no other.

The Ram 1500 Rebel is also equipped with a suite of advanced safety features designed to keep every journey secure. It comes with an Active Lane Management System that helps the driver stay centered on the road, while Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go ensures a smooth and stress-free drive even in heavy traffic. Advanced Brake Assist and Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus add an extra layer of protection by detecting potential hazards and applying brakes if necessary.

Navigating through tight spaces is easier with the ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera and ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist System with Stop. For those who tow heavy loads, the Trailer Brake Control and Trailer Sway Damping help keep things stable on the road. When the terrain gets challenging, features like Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, and Hill Start Assist ensure the truck remains steady. In the event of an emergency, the Pedestrian Emergency Braking system acts swiftly to prevent accidents.

The Ram 1500 Rebel is available in four colors: Diamond Black, Bright White, Delmonico Red, and Billet Silver. It comes with a suggested retail price of P5,250,000.

Interested buyers can check out this beast in person at any of the five RAM Trucks dealerships nationwide: Alabang, Cebu, Clark, Greenhills and Pampanga.
