Ram has brought back the 1500 Rebel X to its lineup for the 2026 model year, driven by popular demand.
Customer feedback encouraged Ram to reintroduce the Rebel X, which was not originally confirmed for the latest production year.
Available as an option package for the existing 1500 Rebel light-duty truck, the Rebel X adds bespoke performance options and extra off-road equipment.
These are said to create the ‘most advanced and capable Rebel yet’, but one that still offers good value compared with other trucks.
The Rebel X also sees the debut of a new ‘Tank Clear-Coat’ paint color. Inspired by military green, it’s available for selected models across the Ram 1500 range.
Ready for rough roads
Ram uses a 1500 Rebel with the Level 2 Equipment Group as a starting point for the X package.
Add-ons include a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, a leather-wrapped performance shifter, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and premium bucket seats with red accent stitching.
Special ‘Rebel X’ graphics for the truck bed are also included, along with a red-accented and glass-encased ‘Rebel X’ center console badge.
The 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbocharged inline-six engine is standard on the new Rebel X, bringing 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque to the party.
For extra off-road ability, ‘Rough Road Cruise Control’ uses adaptive speed control and adjustable steering weight to maintain the truck’s progress on trails. It operates at speeds of up to 20 mph.
Hitting the off-road sweet spot
Bespoke upgrades for the 1500 Rebel X include a one-inch suspension lift with Bilstein shock absorbers, an electronic locking differential, underbody skid plates, and black 18‑inch wheels with 33‑inch all‑terrain tires.
“The Rebel X was a customer favorite last year, so we’re bringing it back for more,” said Tim Kuniskis, head of marketing at SRT Performance.
“Rebel X hits the sweet spot of advanced tech, interior comfort and true off‑road capability, all in an aggressive looking package backed by America’s best full‑size truck and van limited powertrain warranty.”
Ram is accepting orders for the 1500 Rebel X now. Prices start from $71,930, which is inclusive of destination fees and the Rebel Level 2 Equipment Group.
