Fiat Chrysler plans to show off its new Ram Rebel Black model at the Detroit Auto Show.
Detroit’s long-standing affinity for the pickup truck will be on display at the North American International Auto Show next week as Ram, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V.’s light truck brand, is planning to roll out a new version of the Ram 1500 Rebel.
Mike Manley, head of Jeep Brand and Ram Brand, FCA – Global, said Ram will introduce a special edition of the Rebel—the Rebel Black.
“The Ram Rebel is unique in the full-size truck segment with 33-inch off-road tires, air suspension and custom interior details,” Manley noted. “Adding the Rebel Black package to an already aggressive off-road truck will continue feeding the momentum Rebel is creating for the Ram Truck brand.”
The Ram 1500 Rebel brings a one-of-a-kind off-road design to the full-size truck segment, offering buyers a custom truck with capability, he added.

The truck market continues to get hotter with the new Ram Rebel Black.
Equipped with a factory lift, Bilstein shocks, skid plates, tow hooks and other off-road-ready features, Rebel drops right into a core segment of the truck market with unique design cues and can-do attitude backed by Ram Truck engineering. Ram 1500 Rebel also takes advantage of exclusive air suspension in order to offer increased ride height.
A new front grille design and “RAM” branding offer a new styling signature for Ram Truck. Rebel is also distinguished by unique interior colors and materials, including Radar Red and Black seats with tire tread-matching patterns.
The Ram 1500 Rebel is available in three short wheelbase Crew Cab configurations with a standard 4×4/3.6-liter Pentastar V-6/TorqueFlite 8 combination, delivering 305 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque; a 4×2 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 with variable valve timing, fuel-saver technology and 395 hp is also an option.

The Ram Rebel Black traces its origin to one of the truck brand’s fastest-selling off-road powerhouses, adapting dark features as a design component. The package is offered with all available Rebel colors, adding black wheels, brush guard and theme-matched all-black interior.
The Rebel Black interior features black anodized bezels on the doors, center console, instrument panel and gauge cluster trim rings. All-black heated seats with black “Rebel” embroidery stay to the theme, highlighted by Light Slate Gray accent stitching, which traces the instrument panel, center console lid, doors and seats. Deep rubber floor mats capture snow and mud. Additional luxury can be had with optional Black leather Katskin seats.
