2017 Ram 1500 Rebel Black Edition looks to leer at enthusiasts from behind an intimidating brush guard and the workhorse status of her 1500 line-standard 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 and 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powerhouse options, each boasting a respective horsepower and torque of 305/269 pound-feet and 395/410 pound-feet. We know she'll capable, then, of surmounting some of the toughest jobs, with Ram quality-attesting standard off-road-ready Bilstein shocks, skid plates, tow hooks, and exclusive air suspension for increased ride height to boot.
And 1500 Black will be available not only in all signature Ram 1500 Rebel colors for a stylish look, but with some unique aesthetics points to match, including sleek black wheels adorning 33-inch off-road tires. A theme-matched optional all-black custom leather Katzkin interior with Light Slate Gray accent stitching, bedecked with black anodized bezels atop doors, center console and instrument panel, as well as gauge cluster trim rings, looks to deliver the comfort augmented only by likewise offered heated seats, and the pickup's set to thankfully stave off the grimier stuff from the worksite thanks to deep rubber floor mats.
