I have a 2020 Rebel with the Ram Box and regular Hemi, coming up on 29,000 miles. Very good cruiser vehicle, I took it out to South Dakota from Georgia, did just fine and comfortable. I have not had one thing go wrong with the truck, just regular maintenance on it. Great truck so far.
Beautiful trucks. I’m a ford guy, own an F150 and love the power and comfort….. but do you notice how clean the engine bays look on RAMs vs the spaghetti matrix of hoses and plumbing on a ford?
I’ll never forget this, and I know somewhat unrelated, but this was never more apparent than when I was at an auto show in ~ 2008. Comparing the GM 5.3 to fords (then 5.4)…..I could have fit a briefcase on either side of the GM engine but looking at the spaghetti mess of hoses and wiring in the Ford I couldn’t find a place where I could drop a wrench and have a snowflakes chance in hell of hitting the ground. Both trucks did all the same things. I’m not a Ford hater by the way, they make some great products these days.
Have to agree you open the hood of that cool looking bronco and it's like someone threw up in the engine bay.really Ford that's the best you can do? it's almost like they slammed the hood and said. F k it . For 60k it looks like that wow you don't even wanna show anyone the engine . Wonder how that's gonna be 10 yrs from now with a 100k good luck
I sold my 2017 Rebel this year. Only two negatives I can say about it, 15MPG and the halogen headlights were not good. The interior ergonomics were fantastic with tons of usable storage space and every knob and button was easy to use and in the right place.
@@TFLnow I did not have a pressing need for a truck so I sold it to take advantage of the high value of used trucks. I used the proceeds to pay down my mortgage which will now be payed off in 2022. If/when the market returns to normal I'll be looking at a hybrid 1/2 ton pickup. The current leading candidate is the new Tundra.
@@sonsofliberty3081 The dealer had added aftermarket wheels and tires. They looked great but were a sizeable MPG penalty. Memory says they measured at 34+ inches. We bought it at Twilight and I didn't notice the wheel and tire swap until days later. LOL. Sticker was 54k, bought it at 44k, four years later sold it for 40k back in June. Might have gotten a little more if I had waited longer.
@@MrCh1cken another big mpg suckered is tire tread. In my semi I had open shoulder lugs because I took a lot of stuff into job sites like heavy equipment. I needed tires and I didn't have many options at the place I was at because at a truck stop they stock more closed shoulder tires for company trucks and were out of what I get when I usually get back home. I ended up getting the closed shoulder and picked up almost a whole mgp. Now when you get 7mpg and get to almost 8mpg at 150k+ miles a year. You notice it. I still have to have a small lug on my pickup though. I feel helpless if I don't, mostly because we don't live in or around town.
Isn't that twelve inch screen a bit like having a television set? What's so great about having such a huge screen? Their 8.4" Inch screen seems plenty big. What's the main advantage of that twelve inch screen please? I'd get that Rebel if it was available with a front bench style seat, rear reclining seats and the full air suspension. I think you said your Rebel has the air suspension so I'm glad for that at least. Do you know if the Rebel is available with the larger fuel tank and the multi function tailgate and the new full reflection LED headlights and 360° camera system? I'm sure it's available with the trailer tow package and etorx engine?? Thanks 👍
@@Hundert1 interior was designed for the 12in looks better but that’s subjective, if it’s a work truck/family hauler the smaller screen probably better cause you get big turn knobs for climate controls
I wish automakers would just make LED headlights standard on all their vehicles especially for what people are playing for them now a days. I can’t believe a $56,000 truck still has halogens.
@@nickphillips4863 I get you can upgrade them but I feel anything over $40,000 should come with LED headlights as standard. I was looking at a $60,000 truck and it didn’t come with LED headlights if every manufacturer is concerned about peoples safety and that’s big push for them all of their vehicles should come with them standard. That are phenomenal to have. After I bought our first vehicle with them I’ll never buy another one with out them.
I agree, even a base Toyota corolla has standard LEDS and Mazda for example all vehicles come standard. To me LED is be best safety aspect, if you can see you can avoid lots of hazards. Is not like they turn or stabilize, is just a bulb. Most dealers don't have their trucks with that option, they could have all other options except the headlights.
I have the 2020 Ram North Edition, pretty much same as Back County Package. On North Edition I have the sport package Bighorn with led lighting which matches the Rebel lighting. Perfect truck all round.
Anyone else rocking a Built to Serve edition? Basically the original back country but with the upgraded headlights? A simple Bilstein lift and you’ve got yourself and amazing value pickup. Only 40K into it on my 2020!! Plus a 1950lb payload and 11,500lb tow capacity. Pretty great all around value
If I wasn’t going to do major off roading I would get the Back Country it is a great looking truck but if I was off roading like you guys at TFL up in the Rockies the Rebel would be my truck. Thanks for the review of the 2 trucks Alex.
Just bought a 2022 back country I love it 64 bed Rhino liner Bed cover Is the trailer break controller is amazing you can adjust the steering of the trailer This truck is loaded 2 years ago They had a big horn edition with the off road group Tried to buy one the dealers said they didn't exist I had looked out among the lot The salesman tried to put me in a rebel So I bought a used 18 from another dealer 2 Wheel Sport package drive
I had a 08 Big Horn that had a lot of upgrades it was nice. My Bighorn BackCountry has a smooth, nice ride On roads, has an eltronic stabilizer bar. It smooths out rough roads as well. This is not new I had a 2003 Laramie that I run 33x12.5 Procomp all terrians. I would go on a trip and take a shortcut road that sod trucks used it was unpaved with dips. The truck ran very smoothly,I could do 60 on that road once after a storm. I did catch air, but it planted fine. So they ride great on both surfaces.
I'm glad I waited They gave me a great deal on my trade in the truck is Made in USA It handles and drives fantastic Considering what they gave me from my trade was above board and a $3000 rebate There was a no brainer The interior It's beautiful The 8" screen is set up for iPhone or android it's on the 5G platform In my opinion the only other truck That could show it Up would be the TRX With double the cost
@@nickamorello4562 yeah that sucks you can't option that. The after market LED are really good nowadays. You will find something that will work I'm sure
I custom ordered a Backcountry in October. They said it would be 12-14 weeks which kind of sucks, but I'm getting it just the way I want it, and for $8k less than a rebel... For that I can get a carli suspension and 35 inch tires which will out perform any stock rebel ***Edit I just picked up the truck today 4/2/22 It took exactly 24 weeks from the time I ordered it***
@@davidr8292 ALL dealers are charging MSRP right now. It’s a sellers market. Used vehicles are selling for a lot more, and the new ones have supply issues… computer chips etc…. We won’t be getting deals on new rigs anytime soon I think. 😏 My build came out to $55,625
As much as I love these Rams, I just bought the new '22 Nissan Frontier and it's a phenomenal truck. If you're in the market for a midsize or just a pickup in general, I recommend checking it out. A new Ram was a bit out of my price range and I didn't want another vehicle that got 15 mpg.
back country has a nicer grill, cooler looking rims, and i like the seat material more cause i hate leather seats. and the most important part the fact that you can get a double cab makes it better all around. back country for the win!
53k is budget as far as a ram goes. But it gets you all the same stuff as the rebel besides the seats and red interior accents. A bighorn with decent options is still 53k anyway according to my window sticker
I actually prefer it in mine. Opens up a bunch of space. Electronic shifting doesn't require clunky shifters. I can see why some would miss the conventional setups.
Great video mate! I love my 2020 ram 1500 bighorn 4x4. I got it blacked out with level 2 equipment group and ram boxes. I got it for $50k and only $2000 down during covid. I tried to get another one last month and even though I could get one for the same price my payment would be $200 more, plus I'd have to put $6k down...sucks I shoulda got 2 back in 2020 lol. I really like these new backcountry models though. After seeing youtube videos of Ram trucks at SEMA I like how the bighorn can be transformed into the new outdoorsman concept, which I will certainly explore!
Great comparison! Regarding the Backcountry, I believe it comes standard with the 3:92 gears and locking rear axle as part of the package. We bought the Backcountry last Friday; I wanted the Rebel, my wife liked the Backcountry. It appealed to her more as a "mature" truck, where the Rebel with its red accents, lack of side step, etc. felt more like what we would have had 30-years ago. Ours also came with the 12" touch screen, and like you, that was the last thing I wanted... but married guys-- smart married guys-- learn to make compromises LOL! Should also mention that we never do off-roading. We do however, travel a lot of logging roads, side roads and the occasional country field. So all in all the Backcountry fits our needs better. But I still like the looks of the Rebel by a large margin ;)
Why do off-road trucks come with a very off road worthy side steps? Either get rid of them or make the package a little extra and add in the power running board rockrail. And this has the lower front spoiler so this isn't a real offroad.
Nice job Case, thanks for the update on your Rebel. I like the looks of the new Backcountry. The problem is when I went to configure one you can only get the package on a Crew Cab with the 5'7" bed not the 6'4" bed. That's a deal breaker for me.
Anyone know if you're getting the Hemi V8 why would you opt for the non eTorque option if there's no upcharge for the eTorque? Also can someone explain the different axle ratios in simple terms? For example, the Laramie offers the 3.21, 3.92 or 3.55. I know the 3.92 allows for better towing numbers and I'm assuming has the lowest mpg - but what about the other options?
I don’t have the eTorque but what I’ve read about it is just something else to fail . The 3.21 will give you better mpg in the highway but less acceleration . I have the 3.92 and love it since I do mostly city driving but I’ll guess the 3.55 will be the best all around
My friend's Rebel scared him to death. The rear end locked up while he was driving down the road and almost pulled him into the other lane of traffic. This is the second friend that had a problem with Dodge/Ram 1500 4x4. I don't think I can go with Ram regardless of good they look. I hope you don't have the problem.
Backcountry sounds awful. Just call it the outdoorsman again. I have a 21 rebel love it but it does suck on gas. I also think the factory dura tracs are trash and wear badly. Had a 17 rebel with one air suspension issue, so went without this time very happy.
I am a fan of your channel I watch almost every video but I cannot watch the ones with Alex as the host. His voice is just irritating. I love everyone else but I can't listen to him.
Back Country looks good but I hate 2-tone. Makes a truck look like an old man's truck. Someone tell me when Ram is going to update the Hemi or offer some new motors that can compete with the 3.5 EcoBoost and the 6.2 Chevy!?
I have a 2020 Rebel with the Ram Box and regular Hemi, coming up on 29,000 miles. Very good cruiser vehicle, I took it out to South Dakota from Georgia, did just fine and comfortable. I have not had one thing go wrong with the truck, just regular maintenance on it. Great truck so far.
I have a 2019 bighorn at 50k and it's been absolutely amazing to drive. Super comfortable!!!
Beautiful trucks. I’m a ford guy, own an F150 and love the power and comfort….. but do you notice how clean the engine bays look on RAMs vs the spaghetti matrix of hoses and plumbing on a ford?
Brad, I never liked Fords, until 2021. Now they are nice in&out, like the powertrains, like the power-boost. Good luck.
I’ll never forget this, and I know somewhat unrelated, but this was never more apparent than when I was at an auto show in ~ 2008. Comparing the GM 5.3 to fords (then 5.4)…..I could have fit a briefcase on either side of the GM engine but looking at the spaghetti mess of hoses and wiring in the Ford I couldn’t find a place where I could drop a wrench and have a snowflakes chance in hell of hitting the ground.

I got a Backcountry last week. I ordered it in July the day after they went on sale.
Been a MOPAR fan for 50 years & Rams just keep getting better

The BackCountry is good for guys who want trucks with truck feature who aren't truck guys.

Small suggestion, use PPF on your tailgate. Can cut as wide as you need it. Do door pockets, too.

Agree on the Tank size !
Nice truck. I'm very happy with my ram. Swapped out the factory tank with the 121L from the scrap yard.
Great review Alex! Very informative!
I have the same year truck as your rebel and LOVE IT... the 23 gallon tank does drive me crazy though...
I just built the Canadian version. 66k for a Truck with Halogen head lamps still. I'd have to opt for Rebel.
off road group gives you the rebel lift on models it can be equipped on!
Option restrictions on Bighorns. No premium light group, Ram boxes or blind spot monitoring.
Very detailed, and terrific review!
Just curious, what is the ride quality compared to stock suspension? Nice truck. I'm in the process of researching so I can build one. Thanks

RAM is really missing out on the mid size truck market...they have been missing out since they discontinued the Dakota in 2011.
I think I’ll take the Rebel! What the fuel economy on your truck? What was you out the door cost?
Thanks Alex. Like both trucks. Like that RAM uses coil springs.
RAM es RAM.... Excelente Camioneta
Did that Tape ever come off without destroying the paint on the tailgate?
back country has a nicer grill, cooler looking rims, and i like the seat material more cause i hate leather seats. and the most important part the fact that you can get a double cab makes it better all around. back country for the win!
Max Steel is the way to go. Do they have the same transfer case?
My Softopper scratches my rebel tailgate too lol! I usually tuck in the flap
Is either one available with a bench style front seat like the Laramie is? Are both available with the multi function tailgate? Thanks 👍
I can’t order one for less than 53k. What exactly is “budget” about the backcountry?
53k is budget as far as a ram goes. But it gets you all the same stuff as the rebel besides the seats and red interior accents. A bighorn with decent options is still 53k anyway according to my window sticker
How do you like the dial shifter on the Rams?
I actually prefer it in mine. Opens up a bunch of space. Electronic shifting doesn't require clunky shifters. I can see why some would miss the conventional setups.
Tires. The most easily replaceable/upgradable part of a vehicle was a selling point? Am I wrong in thinking that was a silly statement?

Seems like when it’s decently loaded the backcountry is only 2k alway from a standard rebel
I can’t believe a 60k truck is considered budget
You need some White Knuckle Rock sliders.
My friend's Rebel scared him to death. The rear end locked up while he was driving down the road and almost pulled him into the other lane of traffic. This is the second friend that had a problem with Dodge/Ram 1500 4x4. I don't think I can go with Ram regardless of good they look. I hope you don't have the problem.

It's the same as the FX4 package.
The rebel many times over
how do you not have a genY hitch on your personal truck :O
Backcountry sounds awful. Just call it the outdoorsman again.
I have a 21 rebel love it but it does suck on gas. I also think the factory dura tracs are trash and wear badly. Had a 17 rebel with one air suspension issue, so went without this time very happy.
I would get a Back country with the LED light option.
According to this channel the backcountry quad cab was to start at 41k. Completely wrong and never corrected or owned up too!
that 12 inch touch screen shows all the fingerprints & smudges, looks horrible and is the 2nd biggest problem with touch screens.
thats why I keep handywipes so its no problem
What kind of gears on the backhoe version ?
All RAM 1500s (including the TRX) use an 8 speed automatic transmission.
@@damilolaakanni I meant rear end gears mate. Like 3:92s

Holy shit. What happened to affordable trucks?
They're kinda coming back...if you can deal with a unibody front wheel drive hybrid truck, i.e the Maverick. It can't tow more than 2000 lbs though.
Why tf does a 2022 60 grand truck have halogens… why

You said budget? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You don’t speed yet you have a radar detector?🤨
Meh
Nice truck but those Goodyears suck. Period. Puncture easy and bad wear... If you off road there're Literally junk and there are 50 better options.
The background music, while he is going over the Back Country is super annoying.
Neither!
I am a fan of your channel I watch almost every video but I cannot watch the ones with Alex as the host. His voice is just irritating. I love everyone else but I can't listen to him.
My problem with ram trucks is that they look nice but their quality just isn't there
I look like your rebel more
56k for halogen headlights 🤮
Can’t even get them on Bighorns this year due to option restrictions
@@tinshield really ? It gives me the option
@@JohnnyDeJesusRodriguez it does on the website but when the dealer builds the order it will be restricted
Back Country looks good but I hate 2-tone. Makes a truck look like an old man's truck. Someone tell me when Ram is going to update the Hemi or offer some new motors that can compete with the 3.5 EcoBoost and the 6.2 Chevy!?
Unfortunately the auto makers seem to be going to smaller and smaller engines in a lot of cases… Looks like the V-8’s days are numbered…😟
I love that red 🤤
😁😄👍❗
