Finished in a commanding black exterior and packing one of the most iconic powertrains in the full-size truck segment, this Rebel is built for buyers who want performance and attitude without paying a new-truck price.

About This 2017 RAM 1500 Rebel

The RAM 1500 Rebel isn't your average half-ton. It was designed from the ground up as an off-road-oriented performance truck, and this 2017 example wears that identity well. At just under 95,000 miles, this truck is solidly mid-life for a well-maintained HEMI-powered 1500 — these engines routinely push well past 200,000 miles with proper care. The Crew Cab configuration means rear-seat passengers actually have room to breathe, and the 5.5-foot bed offers a practical balance between cab space and cargo capacity. The blacked-out exterior gives it a factory-aggressive look that aftermarket builds try to imitate.

2017 RAM 1500 Rebel Performance and Engine

The 5.7L HEMI V8 — A Benchmark Engine

Under the hood sits RAM's legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8, an engine that has earned its reputation over decades of use in trucks, muscle cars, and SUVs. Producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, this engine doesn't just move the truck — it moves it with authority. Paired with RAM's smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain delivers confident passing power on Oregon highways and the low-end grunt you need when the pavement ends.

The 4WD system on the Rebel pairs with a factory two-inch lift, Bilstein shocks, all-terrain tires, and skid plates — making it genuinely trail-ready, not just off-road-styled. Whether you're navigating a muddy forest service road in the Mount Hood National Forest or hauling gear to a coastal campsite, this truck is engineered for real-world Pacific Northwest conditions.

RAM 1500 Rebel Features and Interior

Built for Comfort Without Compromise

The Rebel trim sits above the Sport in RAM's lineup and brings a unique combination of aggressive styling and genuine daily-driver comfort. Inside, expect Rebel-exclusive badging, available heated front seats, a sport steering wheel, and RAM's intuitive Uconnect infotainment system. The Crew Cab layout gives you four proper doors and rear seating that works for adults — not an afterthought fold-down bench. Front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and available remote start round out the comfort and convenience picture.

The Rebel also brings exterior exclusives that set it apart on the road: a blacked-out grille, unique 17-inch black wheels wrapped in all-terrain rubber, and aggressive front and rear fascias that signal this truck's off-road intent before you even fire it up.

RAM 1500 Rebel Reliability and Ownership

The RAM 1500 generation spanning 2009–2018 is widely regarded as one of the most refined half-ton trucks ever built. Owners frequently praise the ride quality — the coil-spring rear suspension gives the 1500 a car-like smoothness that competitors' leaf-spring setups can't match. The 5.7L HEMI is a known quantity with a long track record of durability, and the 8-speed transmission introduced in later years improved both efficiency and smoothness considerably.

Common ownership notes include staying current on spark plug changes (typically at 100K intervals), maintaining the transmission fluid, and keeping an eye on the MDS (Multi-Displacement System) — the fuel-saving feature that deactivates cylinders at highway speeds. None of these are serious concerns; they're just part of informed HEMI ownership. Overall, buyers of used RAM 1500s in this mileage range consistently report high satisfaction when the vehicle has been reasonably maintained.
