Latest limited edition Ram 1500 pickup will feature a number of upgrades from FCA's Mopar parts division.

Mopar '16 Ram Rebel

While we don't know what's going to happen down the road, if the first couple of months this spring are any indication, FCA's truck division is currently on track to creating a "special edition of the month" club. That's because, following close on the heels of the Stinger Yellow Ram 1500 announced in May, Mopar today unveiled yet another special edition based on the 2016 Ram 1500 Rebel trim.

Called the Mopar '16 Ram Rebel, the pickup will have a limited run of just 500 examples, upgraded with a number of the parts division's Custom Shop options.

"We are excited to team up with our friends at the Ram Truck brand to offer the first limited-edition Mopar vehicle for full-size truck enthusiasts," said Pietro Gorlier, Head of Parts and Service (Mopar), FCA – Global. "The already formidable Ram 1500 Rebel is a perfect canvas for unique Mopar accessories and performance parts developed to reinforce the rugged personality of the Rebel."

While, in the past, Ram has released a number of special edition pickups, the Mopar '16 Ram Rebel represents Mopar's first modified truck – as it follows the Mopar '10 Dodge Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger, Mopar '12 Chrysler 300, Mopar '13 Dart, Mopar '14 Challenger and Mopar '15 Charger R/T.

Creating the Mopar '16 Ram Rebel

Based on the Ram 1500 4x4 Rebel Crew Cab, two color choices will be available: Flame Red/Brilliant Black two-tone or Brilliant Black monotone. Mopar then added a custom package of accessories including:

• An aluminum dual bezel sport performance hood with a matte-black hood graphic
• Off-road wheel flares
• Mopar blue-and-black graphic stripe accents on both sides as well as the tailgate
• A skid plate for the power steering box and
• A black front bumper skid plate substitutes for the standard billet silver color
• 17-inch satin black wheels
• A serialized Mopar '16 glove box badge
• Stainless steel door sill guards (front sill guards embossed with the Ram logo)

Factory standard features include:

• 7-liter HEMI engine paired with
• An eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission
• Transfer case and front suspension skid plates
• Black tubular side steps
• Spray-on bedliner
• A tri-fold tonneau cover with the Ram logo

Mopar '16 Ram Rebel options

Owners wishing to further personalize their '16 Ram Rebel can opt for such additional niceties as a Mopar cold air intake and cat-back exhaust system.

But wait, there's more!

According to FCA:

As with previous limited-edition Mopar vehicles, the Mopar '16 Ram Rebel is delivered with a custom owner's kit that features Mopar '16 merchandise, a brochure and a unique metal birth certificate that highlights truck specifications, date of manufacture and the proprietary number. Kit contents are stored in an attractive case and packaged in a Ram-branded tool bag.

Boo-rah!
