For today's unboxing review we bring you the 2017 Ram Rebel, the off-road enthusiast's choice if they want a Ram truck. But wait, isn't there already a hardcore off-road pickup truck on the market? And isn't it called the Ford F-150 Raptor? Yes to both questions. We're just going to come out and say it: the Raptor is the better choice if you intend to tackle the Baja 1000, or any other extreme sand dunes. It's not that the Ram Rebel is a bad or disappointing off-roader, it's just that there's something newer and better out there from its cross-town rival. But there's still a lot to like about the Rebel, starting with its optional (and highly recommended) 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque, with power going to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic.

The base engine is the familiar 3.6-liter V6 with 305 hp, but the Hemi is only a $1,250 option. It's a no-brainer. Ram equipped the Rebel with several off-road features, such as a transfer case skid plate and a front suspension skid plate. Also worth noting is the fact that you can only get the Rebel in one body style configuration and bed size: Crew Cab with the five-foot-seven-inch bed. Pricing? Well, it does start at a reasonable $45,095, but extras add up, pushing the price directly in Raptor territory. Enjoy the review!
