The 2025 model year marks a significant shift for the Ram 1500 Rebel, most notably under the hood. Gone is the beloved HEMI V8, replaced by the modern and powerful twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six engine. For the Rebel, this engine delivers a robust 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, promising a potent blend of performance and efficiency. Staying true to its off-road roots, the 2025 Rebel retains its factory 1-inch lift, capable 33-inch all-terrain tires, and performance-tuned Bilstein shock absorbers. A crucial feature for tackling challenging terrain remains the electronic locking rear axle, enhancing traction when you need it most.

Your 2025 Ram 1500 Warlock also embraces the new powertrain, featuring the same standard-output 420-horsepower Hurricane engine as the Rebel. Like its more off-road-focused sibling, the Warlock sports a 1-inch suspension lift and all-terrain tires, along with Bilstein shocks, providing a step up in capability from the base trims. However, the skid plate design on the Warlock differs from that of the Rebel. Visually, the Warlock maintains its signature blacked-out aesthetic, with a dark grille, wheels, and exhaust accents contributing to its distinct and aggressive appearance. Inside, the Warlock typically offers a more straightforward but functional interior, often featuring the standard 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system.

When it comes to packages and special editions for 2025, the Rebel continues to emphasize premium off-road features and technology. The introduction of the Rebel X special edition is a highlight, celebrating a decade of the Rebel model. This special trim incorporates popular features from the Rebel Level 2 equipment group, including a large 14.5-inch infotainment screen, a passenger-side 10.25-inch display, and the added convenience of Rough Road Cruise Control. The standard Rebel also offers packages like the Level 1 and Level 2 Equipment Groups, including features like heated front seats and a steering wheel, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and advanced safety features. The Warlock, while focusing on value and rugged style, also offers several packages to enhance comfort and technology. You will find the Electronics Group, which could include a larger touchscreen display, perhaps the 12-inch Uconnect 5 systemandth a 115-volt auxiliary power outlet. For added convenience, a Comfort and Convenience Group might be available, offering features like a power-adjustable driver's seat and possibly dual-zone automatic climate control. While the Warlock might not have a dedicated "special edition" in the same vein as the Rebel X, these available packages allow buyers to add desired features without necessarily stepping up to the more premium Rebel trim. Both the Rebel and Warlock also provide a range of individual options, allowing for further personalization to meet specific needs and preferences.
