Which Ram 1500 Model Is Best for Off-Roading?

There are two trims you should seek out if off-roading is your jam. The first is the Rebel. A locking differential, tow hooks, skid plates, off-road-tuned suspension components, a 1-inch factory lift, hill descent control and 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires are among its list of standard equipment – when four-wheel drive is added. Note that upgrading to four-wheel drive costs an extra $3,500.

The other is the brand-new TRX model. It's the best off-roader in the lineup, and Ram envisions it as a direct answer to the Ford Raptor. It has the usual off-road features offered by the Rebel, but it takes things a step further with add-ons like an off-road chassis and suspension, upgraded Bilstein shocks, and a larger air filter to help it survive dusty conditions.
