2020 Ram 1500 Rebel EcoDiesel Review: The Ideal Vehicle... For Some!

Auto123 reviews the 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel EcoDiesel.

I took the wheel of this black-and-white behemoth exactly one week after the first press conference given by the Premier of Quebec in connection with the novel coronavirus pandemic. At that time, the whole of Canada was beginning its fight against Covid-19.

This also meant that I was able to test-drive this menacing-looking full-size Ram pickup on fairly empty roads. At one point, I traveled a normally congested section of highway in the west end of Montreal without any other vehicles in sight. It’s a situation that likely won't happen again soon...

No surprise, the Rebel package, introduced for the 2015 model year on the older-generation pickup, is once again part of the product offering for the 2020 Ram 1500. This rugged variant has been pretty universally well-received since its introduction. This year there’s a little more to the Ram 1500 Rebel, which can now be ordered with the new version of the EcoDiesel V6 engine (which is more powerful for 2020), in addition to Ram’s vaunted multi-function tailgate that makes loading smaller items in the cargo bed easier.
