no winch option of you opt for the cummins.
Yeah, the photo of the trailer control knob also shows the old style UConnect icons.I haven't seen that video but it looks like they got into the details, which I like. That's just like Ram to put out an inaccurate picture. I was hoping for the Articulink but didn't expect it. Do you have a link to that video?
I agree that Ram needs to make some move now that this 4.5 gen platform has been around for 4+ years at this point. I dont think the crazy price increases are unique to Ram though. My brother just ordered a new truck and a King Ranch Tremor MSPR was more than my 22 3500 Limited HO. We're going to be a in a spot where these trucks are $100k+ moving forward, regardless of brand.While I do like the looks of this I think RAM is late to the party, this should have been released a couple of years ago. We will see how this compares to the all new 23 Tremor but in my opinion this Rebel still comes in behind the 22 Tremor. What's up with the pricing on these and RAM in general, prices seem to have skyrocketed, curious to see what Ford and GM prices do? Id say the average price has gone up 10k since the 22 models went on sale and the only upgrades are a 12 instrument cluster and new tow mirrors..... cant forget the non functional sport hood .
Anyone else think RAM is falling behind GM and Ford. Ford and GM are releasing all new models and Ram continues to add cosmetic upgrades to existing models. To be fair I guess we have to wait for 24 to see what Ram does since this is when GM releases their new HD. However, Ram better bring over the 5th gen cab with some upgrades and add power as well to stay competitive. For 23 MY the Ford seems like the clear winner on looks and paper but we will see how it performs in the real world.
Hahaha I totally agree with this one!!!They could always throw in a flipping telescoping column !!!!
Here's a video on this with the CEO in Texas.DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS: Meet The 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel Crew Cab 4×4:

Ram Trucks has officially pulled back the covers of its new Rebel package for the 2023 Ram 2500 at this year’s State Fair of Texas. The new model expands the brand’s off-road dominance with yet another off-road package for customers.

The column shift is on the Cummins, not the hemi.Here's a video on this with the CEO in Texas.
Interesting... No dial a real column shift? On the 6.4? Not sure. And I'm still trying to figure out the real "locker" thing. It says "electronic" locker. I notice in the vid that it has a separate switch for the rear "locker" (with anti-slip differential) like a Power Wagon, but what is the difference between that and the one I have on my 4WD package? Just a switch? They didn't address any "height" issue like more inches??? I do like the Ram Boxes but know that is a "preference" some don't like and would never buy. They do appear to have a slightly different set of wheel accessories. The cruise control buttons are not like the old ones that have been there since like 2014... But it does appear the gear switches (up down) are still there... Not sure what is just to the left of cruise buttons. I would have thought they would have put a winch on this though. We all know there is plenty of room down there in front seems like a no brainer. I mean they took the locking front end off and that is the sharpest distinction between a "real" power wagon vs this... At least give us a winch...come on...
But, all in all, I'm not seeing a whole lot of difference between this and a 4WD package on previous year models and some visual stuff like the hood and Rebel front end... Oh, and the new mirrors... Wish they had talked about them and shown them work...
The column shift is on the Cummins, not the hemi.
The rear locker is the exact same that son the power wagon. It’s a helical limited slip with an electromagnet activated clutch that locks it when you push the switch.
The steering wheel has finally been updated and is using the switches that the 1500s, Jeeps, and other vehicles have been using for a number of years. The switches next to the cruise control are the distance setting for the adaptive cruise.
The Hemi has an optional winch, the Cummins does not as there is an intercooler there.
I do really wish I had a rear locker though...
