Ram debuted not only the 1500 RHO but also introduced the new Warlock and Rebel X variants. Let's delve into the details of each model.
Starting with the Ram 1500 Warlock, it serves as the brand's entry-level off-road pickup, priced from $54,260 excluding the $1,995 destination fee. Positioned between the Big Horn and Laramie trims, this variant brings more than just visual enhancements and additional equipment. Equipped with Bilstein shocks and a 25 mm lift, the Warlock boasts practical off-road features such as skid plates and an electronic locking rear differential.
Under the hood, power is derived from a twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six engine, delivering 420 horsepower and 635 Nm of torque. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive, this powertrain ensures capable performance both on and off the road. Despite its lower price point compared to the Ram 1500 Rebel, the Warlock maintains a refined yet restrained design, highlighted by a black grille with matching "RAM" badging, black 18-inch wheels, and powder-coated bumpers. LED headlights, tow hooks, and a dual exhaust system with black tips add to its rugged appeal, while optional Warlock decals for the hood and bed provide a customizable touch.
Inside the cabin, drivers are greeted by a 7-inch cluster display and an 8.4-inch infotainment system, accompanied by a leather-wrapped steering wheel and black cloth seats. Practical features include LED bed lighting, second-row in-floor storage, and a remote start system, while advanced safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and blind spot detection enhance driving confidence.
For those seeking a more exclusive offering, the Ram 1500 Rebel X commemorates the 10th anniversary of the off-road trim. Building upon the standard Rebel model, the Rebel X comes equipped with the Rebel Level 2 Equipment Group, offering premium amenities such as a power tailgate, dual-pane sunroof, and a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system. Additionally, heated steering wheel, heated front and rear seats, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system elevate the cabin experience.
Exclusive to the Rebel X are features like Rough Road Cruise Control, an off-road-focused cruise control system that dynamically adjusts the suspension and steering wheel weight to accommodate varying terrains. Design elements include leather front seats with X logos and red accents, a special center console badge marking a decade of the Rebel, and an optional Mojave Sand paint job for added exclusivity.
When it's time to tackle off-road adventures, the Rebel X boasts a 25 mm lift, a softer rear stabilizer bar, and Bilstein shocks, providing enhanced capability and comfort. Riding on 17-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch all-terrain tires, this variant is poised to conquer challenging terrain with confidence.
While pricing for the Rebel X was not disclosed, the standard 1500 Rebel starts at $64,195 before the $1,995 destination fee.
