Ford and also Chevrolet have trespassed on the Power Wagon’s off-road area, today Ram has a reaction.
On Thursday, the 2023 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel rolled into presence with standard underbody defense, off-road tires, an off-road suspension, and also an available Warn winch or turbodiesel engine, but not both at the very same time.
When it goes on sale in the 4th quarter the Rebel will slot under the Power Wagon as well as cost $68,940 (including location) as it repels the 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty Tremor and upcoming 2024Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD ZR2.
2023 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel Winch or turbodiesel: pick one While the Rebel will come conventional with the 2500 Heavy Duty’s 6.4-liter V-8 creating 410 hp and also 429 lb-ft of torque, a turbodiesel will be available. That choice pushes a Cummins 6.7-liter inline-6 diesel motor rated at 370 hp and also 850 lb-ft of torque under the HD Rebel’s hood. Especially, it’s an option that isn’t offered on the Power Wagon due to clearance issues with the off-roader’s front suspension and the engine’s oil frying pan along with cooling
issues with the common winch. Ram’s bolted skid plates under the Rebel to secure the vulnerable bits like gas tank and also transfer case, but as a result of cooling issues, the available 12,000-lb Warn Zeon-12 winch can not be optioned with the turbodiesel on the 2023 Rebel. The Rebel doesn’t get the Power Wagon’s technique electronic detaching front sway bar, either. The Ford Super Duty Tremor can be optioned with both a turbodiesel engine and also winch.
While the gas V-8 engine hooks to an 8-speed automatic transmission the turbodiesel gets a stout 6-speed. Four-wheel drive, a back limited-slip differential, and electronic back locker are typical.
The Rebel fixes the Power Wagon’s uninspired work credentials with the ability to tow as much as 16,870 lb as well as transport up to 3,140 pound. Those numbers are competitive with the present Ford Super Duty Tremor, though last rankings for the brand-new 2023 model have not been released yet. Absolutely nothing is understood about the upcoming 2024 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2, yet, apart from it will exist.
2023 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel Riding on 33s The Rebel sticks with a tried-and-true formula from the Power Wagon
with 33-inch off-road tires. At launch, those tires will certainly get on standard 20-inch wheels, however optional 18s– the Power Wagon runs on 17-inch wheels– will become offered. It’ll take an eager eye as well as greater than a quick glimpse to select the Rebel out from the Power Wagon. With a comparable appearance including black bumpers, black lower body color, the Power Wagon’s grille, and blacked-out trim, the primary distinguisher for the Rebel is the sporting activity hood ripped from the Mopar parts container and also different wheels. When the Rebel is furnished with the Cummins turbodiesel, a turbodiesel badge rests proudly on the front fenders. A tiny Rebel badge rests on the lower left of the tailgate.
Every Heavy Duty Rebel will certainly be a Crew Cab with a 6-foot 4-inch bed.

At $68,940 the 2023 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel will not be economical. Ram claimed the Rebel slots in between the Laramie as well as Power Wagon in the Heavy Duty’s schedule, but it’s more costly than the existing 2022 Power Wagon. Prices for the 2023 Power Wagon haven’t been launched.
