I have a '22 Rebel and just love it. In the mountains, in the snow, the comfort, it just goes and goes! I bought it to have fun and it does deliver. Worth it to me, but to each his own.

You can get a great off-roader without spending so much on a Rebel or G/T. I have a 21’ Tradesman new body Crew Cab with 6’4” and Offroad package. 4x4 rear locker, skid plates, heavy duty shocks front and back and 1” lift. It came with Falkin Wildpeak AT3/W tires too, so very close to the Goodyears on the Rebel

Love these reviews! Would love to see more of the cheap vs. expensive reviews!

Rear locker also works in 2WD on the Rebel. Drop it $4,000 by ditching the GT package which doesn't really improve performance, drop another $2,000 for the moonroof you don't need. Spend $300 and change the muffler, good to go!

I love the Rebel. But I also love my $ and peace of mind of having a paid off truck. I got a 2017 Titan that rocks. 40k miles for $28k. Yah, I love it. Car/truck prices these days are stupid high so the smart thing to do is find the used deal.

It's crazy how much pricing has skyrocketed over the last few years. I bought my Rebel back in 2019 as the first year of the 5th generation before they had the G/T package. The only things my truck doesn't have compared to this are the leather seats, Mopar engine air filter, Mopar exhaust, 12" screen (I have 8"), and the e-torque. Was able to get a favorable discount back then that kept our out-the-door price under $50k (MSRP of $60k). Feels like a complete steal seeing current prices. I love my Rebel as well. 45k miles later and the truck still looks, drives, feels like it's new. Lots of daily driving with several off-roading/camping trips (places like Canyonlands Maze District), towing a large SXS, and many trips to the hardware store.

Many of us can’t even afford a 50k vehicle.

I’d like to see this comparison with the same tires on both trucks because after your first set of tires you can replace the tires with what ever you want. It would also be interesting to see how close they would perform if you put 20-25K into Stubbie. (Approximately half the difference in price between the 2 trucks.

18' RAM 1500 tradesman. Bilstein, uca's, 35" toyo rt, Eibach springs, rear sway, move bumpers. All under 40k new. Build it yourself people!

Love to see a regular cab Super Duty. Great payload and great towing numbers.

Put a lift on the classic and slap off road tires on it and it will do most of anything that rebel can do, probably more as most people won’t risk that $75k truck on trails they wouldn’t think twice about running the Classic through.

I owned a 2019 quad cab classic 3.6 v6 and no i will not go back from the 2021 Ram 1500 DT etorque 5.7 V8 that has no difficulty towing and hauling. Getting into traffic here in the DFW you gotta have grunt and horse power to get into traffic safely.

I'd rather go older/used and a higher trim level. Then change the suspension,wheels and tires. With all the money saved you could get a side by side, quads and really have fun!

Wish they would take the poop stickers off of stubby!

Just took a trip from Lexington KY to SC. About 389 miles. My 4 door 2018 1500 express with the Hemi got 24.5 mpg at 65 and 21.7 at 75. This was using 89 octane.

Wow been seeing lots of new videos on different channels on Ram Rebels. Guess Ram upped their marketing budget for it

If your using a truck for truck stuff I feel it would be a challenge to find a stock truck that came with 4wd that couldn't do the same thing as those two new ones. The only exception will be towing due to the power creep as things get newer. But again you have to be in a pretty vintage rig to not be able to tow normal loads on normal roads.

Keep the dog stickers on the white truck and rename it the underdog

Remove chin spoiler, put a 2" lift on it (or even a level) and some 35s and take stubby off road again. And some Fox 2.0 shocks are not very expensive and would make a world of difference on the ride quality.

We still love our 2012 Ram Hemi 1500 🙌 Great trucks.

I would like to see you take the Rebel and the Raptor and do some serious off roading something like Wagon Wheel Trail System or the Alpine pass as two suggestions.

Great video but the best part of this video is Nathan's Rush shirt! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 All hail the holy triumvirate !

Well I love the comparison but prices of trucks have gone friggin NUTS in Canada. I have a Ram 1500 classic Warlock that I got three years ago and love it. Since then though prices have gone up up up ! To get a new Ram Rebel would cost me as much as my first house did! Get the cheaper truck with better tires and enjoy not having so much debt !

Thing is a trx is three times the base model and the rebel now is twice, I take the rebel for looks on road comfort plus better towing/pay load over a trx

It’s great to see regular cab short bed getting some love.

I've always been curious which people prefer the 4th gen ram 1500 body style vs 3rd gen silverado 1500 body style?

Wish you guys had the warlock to compare to with that gt

I love my Rebel, but it always goes without saying that a luxury purchase isn't justified in its price. So yes, of course the lower trim or base models are better values.

The biggest problem with most of the Ram 1500's is the lousy front ground clearance. A modest leveling kit and slightly larger diameter tires solves much of the problem--for thousands of dollars less than the high-dollar Rebel, etc. models. The locking rear differential and skid plate options aren't that expensive on the Tradesman. The current obsession with horsepower in a 4WD truck is stupid. Gearing and torque are what is important in a 4WD. I had a '74 4WD pickup with a whopping 155 hp and 275 lbs./ft. of torque that went up some of the worst trails in the Rocky Mountains without any issue.

The sweet spot for me would be to get the Classic but with a Quad Cab and 4x4. In Canada, the Classic starts at $48,500 (Tradesmen edition with Quad Cab, 4x4 and 6.4' bed) and using the building tool, I priced a Classic Night Edition with Quad Cab for $51,777. It looks quite nice on the outside and maybe not as nice as on the inside, but most of us can't justify the extra $25K+ just to have some niceties. Thanks for this comparison and I still chuckle a bit at Nathan's idea with the doggy poo business. Thanks for not firing him, lol

Just ordered a TRX without the GT package. Rebel 12 package, advanced safety group, bed utility group (doesn’t include liner on this model), bed liner, Tri-fold cover, ram box and trailer brake in hydro blue for $3000 more than a Laramie I built. In the Laramie I did the off-road package so it was very similar in build just couldn’t get the grill/bumpers in black. They had a hydro blue Built to serve that was beautiful but wanted ram box, 12” console and an actual console not the bench flip down. I wasn’t willing to compromise the look I wanted for a few thousand dollars. Rebates and discounts weren’t as good on the rebel as the Laramie and 4000 more than Big Horn. It’ll take two months for the build, in that time they’ll adjust if discounts kick in. If not my lease right now at 42 months and 15,000/year is $680/month with $5000 down. Laramie was 620/month with 2500 down. Better options and ride vs GM and Ford.

I went right in the middle with a Big Horn “North Edition” factory 1 inch lift and rear locker. Went used and got it cheaper than the cost of Stubby.

My biggest problem is sometimes you want a pretty basic truck, but you want a few extras that are only available in packages that cost $3-$4K or they are only available in body styles that add thousands. Standard cab trucks are like finding a unicorn these days and when you do they have the base engine.

Great job guys !!! Thank you.

If Stubby were a Ford, would it be a Super Doo-dy??

When y’all say steep, can you explain what the Degrees are of the hills you climb?

Best of both worlds get the classic with the V8. Still affordable and less stuff to break down the road.

I have this rebel in white with hud and full sunroof

The front spoiler isn't just for gas mileage, it's for downforce. Less air under the truck means more air over the truck which means more downforce. Think of it like a body kit on a civic. Same thing. Do another test , get it up to 80mph and consider the lane change handling.

The four-wheel drive auto t case systems are inferior clutch systems versus the four-wheel drive only t case option which is gear on gear.

Umm in my 04 on 37’s I was averaging 15mph highway. When I cut the chin spoiler off the truck I dropped to 10.5 instantly.. the older trucks it was moulded into the bumper so took a sharp razor blade to remove and couldn’t be put back on.. these newer ones can be easily removed for off-road use and put back on for day to day..

Man it must be so nice to be cornballs and get to play with all those nice trucks

I don’t know you but I’m proud of you man.

2022 ram backcountry is relatively in the middle price wise.

Give me the power wagon tech and lockers in a small single cab 1500 like stubby.

Would love to see you compare that same exact Rebel GT against a Silverado ZR2 with the performance package (intake and exhaust). The ZR2 is much closer in price and equipment to that truck than a Raptor/TRX....

If I was in the market for an all-around work and part-time off-road truck, I would be happy with a "Stubby" of my own because it would be simple/basic compared to the far more expensive truck. If I wanted a truck for play and sometimes work, I MIGHT consider the more expensive truck if I could not get better off road tires and underbody "armor" for my "Stubby" aftermarket.

Nathan! I am Rushes biggest fan great Shirt! Love that Rebel! Can’t afford one though!

Most lifted tracks are not good as working tracks, moving tools in and out of the bed is a pain

Rockin' Ozzy's Boneyard! Yew!!

ill go with the simple cheaper one will last longer

Now if stubbie had the hemi and was a quad cab classic that would be a better comp but yes always great to see a reg cab pick up one of the few avail still compete

I wish stubby had a manual, then it might be perfect. I would put a lift and 34 or 35" offroad tires on it with a HD bumper and winch...

Stubby would be a better truck with the hemi but I would take it all day long compared to that over priced truck. I have 2015 trades man crew cab love it I have the limited slip my truck is great off road I have the hemi

Unfortunately, $38k is still too expensive for a basic work truck. Some of us need a vehicle to use to get to and from work, and even the cheapest cars on the market are out of our reach because they either don't exist where you live because trucks like this predominate dealer lots or are marked up in big cities. I had to take out a loan just to get a beat up old crown vic for $5k and even that seems steep for a beat up 03 Crown Vic that smells like a Las Vegas nightmare. And honestly, if Could have been approved a REAL loan, not a good faith loan from a family member, I'd be paying it back because then I could at least get work in my new home state, but banks frown on relocating people whonwere already well below the poverty line.

Love my 23 Rebel. Didn’t waste money on the GT or the sunroof, though. Note: you can put it in max ride height in 2WD but your speed is limited.

It's time for new graphics on Stubby.

My boss has a 2020 rebel and it's a great truck

The Classic is a truck. The TRX is a toy. The Rebel is somewhere in between. Unless you're an off road hobbyist or work in the desert or something, the TRX is probably way more truck than you could ever truly put through its paces. It would be like domesticating a wolf. You can but its going to be unhappy and start losing its hair. I think the modern Rebels are for people looking for something a little bigger than the Classic/Tradesman/Warlock line of 1500s but don't really have a need for the extremely expensive toy that the TRX is. And I think it works, especially with the Rambox option that trades even more of the bed for heavy utility.

Both trucks are nice. But there’s got to be something in the middle stubby w/ quad cab and hemi would be perfect.

We took the chin spoiler off our 14 sierra and we would’ve ripped it off multiple times hunting, so if you use your truck for hard off roading kind of terrain sometimes I would recommend taking it off

Just give Stubbie a lift kit and meatier tiers on steelies and you're set... PLEASE 🙏!

Dig the Bonham half time shuffle

How can y'all get new trucks, but the East Coast is limited? Finding empty lots is frustrating. May have to come to Colorado to buy a truck.

Can you test on these trucks Lithuanian batteries instead of the regular battery? If the truck starts faster and see if you get better cold temperature starts. Waiting for the day where there will be no axcel truck.

I will take the white Ram as its not a lame daddy cab/purse cab.

I payed $62,000 for my fully optioned 21 rebel, that crazy.

You guys do know about the Ram air suspension issues in cold weather, right?

If they were both crew cabs, I could see comparing them.

Roman is such a tool, its not humble bragging to say you got an unreal deal on your truck, its just a real life comparison. These trucks are so expensive, you better believe ill shout to the hilltops that I got my Ram for 40k and its loaded to the tits compared to stuby Its just the truth These trucks are unobtainable for the most part.

Its nuts to think my pw was less than the sticker price on that rebel gt 😳 i did get 2000 cash back during presidents day, but it was still less than 77k albeit not by a large amount 😅😅😅

I just got a Rebel GT i really like all the stuff that has came down from the TRX Now i do wish Ram would have put the 6.4 from the challenger and charger in the GT or had the GT as a 5.7 and then had a GTX with the 6.4 I really think Ram missed an opportunity with 2024 being the last year of the 1500 V8 I really do love my truck but like i said ram missed the mark with the engine choices

GREAT JOB GUYS 🙏.....HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️

Wish ram would send stubbys to australia . We need a good 2 door large ute . Even the gt ram they wont even send that here

I would like to ask how much a laramie crew cab costs in the US. Here in Argentina they may climb up to 100 k or more, insane and unpayable and without any extra package

Id just buy a 3 year old tacoma trd off road. Its like 7k cheaper than stubby. Will probably go further, has a trac, crawl control and rear locker. No brainer. Rams are alright but I associate them with carrying gardening equipment to florida suburbia and less crawling up some rocks in Denver. Plus we've seen the TRX become useless in tight bends and dips in utah anyway If youre spending 80k+ on an offroader and it's not even top of the line for your make you're doing something wrong. Even ford understands this with the bronco and f150 raptors.

What was that sounds at 9:49??🤔

Aloha from Honolulu Yay first 🎉

Unbelievable, I would only get a TRX for off road, not because it’s off road truck but it’s expensive, perfect Rich Asshole feeling 😂

So it appears that when spending over $76k you don’t even get a spare tire that is the same tread and design as the other 4 tires on the GT truck, smh

I took a 21 Rebel for a spin the other day and the mpg over 700 miles was showing 10.3 oucchhh!

Love the comparison men. Keep up the great work! It's the GT for me. I like to see/feel like my hard work pays off. To each their own. Don't judge others for their choices 🙌🙏

Or just get a hemi in the work truck and call it a day.

What about a 2500 big horn vs a 1500 rebel for around the same price ($65,000). Bc I eventually want to get a big horn but want to know if it's worth it

The Ram GT is essentially the TRX truck without the superchared 6.2 liter. I like them, except for "E" torque and you get away from that ridiculous knob shifter. They are hard to find unfortunately.

The rebel will hold its resale value alot more than stubby lol

Here is my humble bragging. New GMC 1500 Carbon Pro with the LM2 Duramax. For $55k out the door. Read that again and weap lol. It's all about who you know.

38k for stubby is just highway robbery

Stubby with a hemi please!!

I really did not think Roman would have a s-it logo stay on Stubby. Why not use it on all vehicles you own. In real bad taste.🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

9:44 , "I gotta push the buttons..." ...kinda sad really how far off-roading has become. With button pushing replacing a stick-shift...& a nanny traction control replacing a nice giant rooster tail. The moniker "Crawling is for babies" applies here just nicely.

This video is misleading. You can get a Ram Rebel in 50k range without the GT package. IMO the Rebel with the GT package is worth it, it is certainly worth it around 55k. The issue with stubby is that in the used market, you can find a really nice full size truck like an XLT or Big Horn that makes stubby not an attractive buy.

Will you please take those ridiculous poop stickers off Stubby....

76k lol

Overpriced "toys" for spoiled adult kids.

So i went and looked up ford, chevy, and dodge. I built all 3 of the trucks the way I would if I was seriously buying one for just myself. all 1500 short beds minium features I would want a v8 and some variant of limited slip to a rear locker. Ford offers an electronic rear locker on their base truck (XL) Short bed 5.0v8 the price is 44 thousand. Dodge offers there 5.7v8 short bed 4x4 with a limited slip diffat 43 thousand....Chevy however does not offer a v8 in a single cab SHORT bed base model. to get the V8 I would have to get the standard bed size. So with a 2.7 liter turbo for the chevy was just under 42 thousand 800 dollars....Knowing all this I would get the ford with a true locker.

Also why buy to only mall crawl....Or you just want show off.Both a loss of money.Butt all is eaches right.🙄

This is a great example of how a "joke" turns out to be cover for elitist views of society. As reviewers that constantly complain about not getting enough "work" trucks for the viewers, it seems odd that they have the opportunity to showcase one and this is what they do. Not all of us can work in an office, or jet set around driving exotic machines. There are porches full of muddy boots and torn work gloves across this country. Some of us work multiple jobs, including cleaning horse stalls, walking dogs, and cleaning out chicken coops. How about the guy who empties the septic tanks, his wife and crippled son ride with him so they can spend time together, any funny stickers for him. Or the guy who mops up blood in the emergency room in a South Bronx Hospital, any funny slogans for him? You have got to do better, or did your success ruin your perspective on real life?

WTF is with the (literal) crap decals on Stubby??? Cheaper is (IMO) better NOT crappier! You're trying to be mainstream media with junk like that by imposing your opinion on us. Please don't.

Ram yawn 🥱
