Watch How the Ram Rebel Got its New Front Grille

Ram Rebel - RamDealerNY Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge

What is more of a summer thought than that of grilling up dinner?  Ram has released a new video of them talking about grilling, only in this case, it’s the kind that is at the front of the truck.

The Ram Rebel is the newest Ram truck and one of the most noticeable things off the bat is that Ram has a beefy new front grille for it.  In the newly released video, engineers at Ram are interviewed on the history of the Ram grille.  While the grille is certainly iconic now, it wasn’t that major back then.  A Ram truck’s grille was changed every two to three years and it was usually just the insert or the headlights that changed.

In 1994, Ram introduced the grille as we know it today.  It was a shoot in the arm for the truck market and gave Ram trucks a unique look with the crosshair design.

Ram challenged their engineers and designers to shake up the front grille for the new Rebel.  To get to the end result that we see now, they thought of what was going on today.  Michael Gillam, Senior Creative Designer at Ram Truck Studios, points to the recent beard craze that got them thinking of what a beard would look like on a truck.  Now that you know that, it’s impossible to unsee it on the Rebel.

It’s a great watch to see how the Rebel and the updated grille came to be as well as a brief history lesson on Ram trucks.  Check it out here:

Truck Sales on the Rise as Ram Introduces the Ram 1500 Rebel

2015 Ram 1500 Rebel

Good news for the truck world; sales have been on the up and up.  They are up 21.9 percent since just 2013 and that growth looks to be continuing in comparison to all the other vehicles in the US.  It is clear to see that many of the major US auto makers will be concentrating a great deal of effort in this market, and that is something that Fiat-Chrysler has made clear.  Over the past year their dedication to being one of the premier truck makers in the US has been made clear.  This year should be a major leap forward for the brand.

The Ram truck method of staying competitive with other trucks such as the Ford F-150 Raptor is the new Ram 1500 Rebel.  The new truck is more of a sports model with a meaner exterior design including a blacked out grille that has the brand name on it.  The Rebel comes with the choice of a V6 or a Hemi V8 engine to give the driver the power and capability that a truck owner needs.  The V8 even comes with an eight-speed auto transmission for better fuel consumption.

The Ram 1500 Rebel is a looker that doesn’t hold back on what it can do.  That imposing all black grille gives it a unique look among the rest of the trucks and really sells the idea of a powerful truck.  The question now is the Rebel going to be enough to help the Ram truck brand to pull up some during this next year against the more cemented brands.  Only time will tell, but if the past few years of Ram’s commitment to quality is any indication, the other trucks better look out.
