Standard on the Rebel are LED headlamps, taillights and fog lamps, an electronically locking rear differential, 33-inch tires, tow hooks, an assisted tailgate, a power sliding rear window and the 12-way adjustable seats from the Laramie. It looks far meaner than any other trim level. The Rebel trim goes for sporty over luxurious and gets a unique, aggressive front grill along with blacked out exterior accents. Instead, it makes do with power door locks and windows, remote keyless access, a rear-view backup camera and of course, a Uconnect system with a 5-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth streaming audio. Intended mostly as a work truck, the Tradesman does without a fancy grill or exterior chrome accents. The most basic Ram 1500 is the Tradesman trim. Ram's eTorque system is optional on this engine, though opting for it will add up to 130 lb-ft of torque when needed. For drivers that need a V8, a 5.7L Hemi engine available that makes 395 horsepower. The alternative is the return of the 3.0L Ecodiesel engine providing a hefty 480-pound feet of torque and 260 horsepower.

Ram's eTorque mild hybrid system is standard on this engine, providing start/stop technology and short-term torque assist when needed. The base engine is a 3.6L V6, making 305 horsepower.

All models are available in either 2-wheel drive or 4x4 configuration with an 8-speed automatic as the only transmission choice. The Ram 1500 comes in no less than six different trim levels however, drivetrain choices are pretty straightforward.
