Dodge Rebel

[delfinomuro]

So dodge is coming out with the Dodge Rebel, the same league as the Ford Raptor.
I like it, I don't know bout the grill but it's pretty sick.

What you guys think? Just something I wanted to share with u guys.

I like it, however looks like the only change is a blacked out grill. I think the Raptor has more body mods that make it look tougher- IMHO

Not a big fan of the grill. The lower grey bumper cover (?) makes it look similar to the GMC All-Terrain concept from a few years ago.

You know, i'd think that it would be a better design on this and the new ford if they would just quit asking 20 something boneheads to come up with **** and get a focus group together of real MOPAR /FORD guys and gals to see what comes out of 200 combined years of MOPAR/FORD knowledge and experience. DUH. I mean, almost all of the timeless designes of both companies came out of an era when there were no computers. Just guys with imagination and some freakin clay. They should quit trying to reinvent the wheel.

True that, they should've done more mods

I do like it too....
But they are walking a "thin-line" with the front end...
It is ALMOST on the line of the failed Toyota Tacoma star War's "Storm trooper" look...

Here's 'Rams' story http://www.detroitnews.com/story/bu...o-show-ram-unveils-new-rebel-pickup/21675497/ Hardly close to the Raptor's league.

"The Rebel also extends Ram's reach into buyers who want the image of a serious off-road machine but can't afford the pricier Power Wagon."

Sounds like a bunch of blacked out (unpainted) plastic added to a run of the mill pickup.

Looks tough. As for the grill, it would look better with just the RAM script written across it without any of the framing design that it currently has

It's not raptor competition, that's what the ramrunner is for

At least the cross hair grille is gone.....

At least the cross hair grille is gone.....

I like the cross hair grille...but then again, I am resistant to change.

At least the cross hair grille is gone.....

That's why I liked the Sterling

I like it....I hope it is as tough as it looks tho....I'm waiting for somebody to put a rebel flag on it..

I like it, there's room in the market for a limited truck, like the Ford Raptor,
the Ramrunner wasn't "allegedly" really a good road vehicle,
too much body lean/role etc., striped down & set up for strictly off road,
more than a dual purpose rig, like the Raptor or "possibly the new Rebel is"...

IMHFO they should have done it on a
shorter wheel base/smaller/narrower & much lighter more nimble like the Dakota {& Durango maybe} Platform too...

my $0.02 cents

Yeah but the rebel is more of a light duty power wagon rather than a high speed off roader like a raptor. I wouldn't ramp the rebel over any dunes

:icon_scratch: Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I don't think so .......

It's getting stale for me after 25+ years of it......

 

[Budnicks]

[Basket case]
