Meet the Beast: 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel
Ever wondered what it’s like to drive a fortress on wheels? Well, meet the 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel. This powerhouse of a truck isn’t just a set of wheels; it’s an experience. Acquired new by its current owner, it has clocked in a mere 13,000 miles. And oh boy, it’s not your average pickup. It’s been pumped up with an AEV 3-inch DualSport suspension lift, 17-inch AEV wheels, 37-inch BFGoodrich tires, and AMP Research power-retractable side steps. Not to mention the Go Fast Campers topper and pop-up tent complete with an access ladder.
Aesthetics and Power
Finished in the sleek Billet Silver Metallic, the Rebel sports a black leather interior that screams luxury. The massive 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine powers this beast, linked with an eight-speed automatic transmission and an electronic locker-equipped limited-slip differential. Additional goodies? Oh, just a Sport Performance hood, heated and ventilated front seats, and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. Plus, with features like Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, and Full-Speed Forward-Collision Warning Plus, this truck isn’t just brawn—it’s got brains.
Did you know? The Ram 2500 Rebel is one of the few trucks that offer such an extensive suite of safety features straight from the factory.
Exterior: Built to Impress
This Rebel sports a mean look with its black grille, lower panels, wheel-arch flares, and bumpers. The Baja Designs fog lights are there to light your path during those murky mountain treks, while tinted windows provide that cool, mysterious vibe. Add to that AEV rear mudflaps, front tow hooks, and a rear receiver hitch, and you’re ready for any adventure.
Camping Companion Extraordinaire
The Go Fast Campers bed topper, featuring front and rear windows, isn’t just for show. It also offers locking panels for bed access, which has a spray-in bedliner and a spare wheel and tire ready. And the pop-up tent? Equipped with Tangerine fabric, zip-up windows, cross bars, and an access ladder, it turns camping into a cozy experience.
Off-Road Ready
This isn’t just a truck; it’s an off-road monster. Thanks to an AEV 3-inch DualSport gas and air ride suspension lift, along with 17-inch AEV Ram Kalta wheels fitted with 37×12.50-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, you can conquer almost any terrain. Plus, the PCM has been flashed for the larger tires, adding to the truck’s adaptability.
Luxury on the Inside
Step inside, and you’re not in a truck; you’re in a luxury suite on wheels. Black leather seats with white stitching and camouflage covers ensure both style and comfort. And with dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, power-adjustable pedals, and a 17-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, every journey feels first class.
Tech-Savvy Drive
The steering wheel isn’t just there to steer. It’s a multifunctional control hub wrapped in heated leather, framing a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. It comes with customizable colors, navigation, and all the bells and whistles modern tech can offer. With features like Lane Keeping Assist and Blind-Spot Detection, you can be sure you’re in safe hands.
Under the Hood
Its 6.4-liter Hemi V8 doesn’t just make noise; it delivers 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. Recent service includes an oil change to ensure this beast is ready to pounce.
Fun fact: The power of the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 is something even Volkswagen and Renault Talisman enthusiasts might admire for its sheer strength.
All About the Transmission
This Rebel offers power transmitted to either just the rear or all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. With dual-range transfer case options and an electronic locker-equipped limited-slip differential, it offers flexibility for various driving conditions. And let’s not forget the fresh undercoating applied in January 2025, keeping the truck’s underbelly spotless.
Peace of Mind
The Rebel’s history is cleaner than your laundry on a sunny day. The Carfax reports zero accidents or damage. Although there is a lien on the truck, rest assured, the seller’s lender will need to be squared off before you get the keys and title.
Interesting to note: While the Ram 2500 Rebel is a mean machine, it holds a clean Carfax. Reliability wrapped in shiny metal.
