If you're hunting for a capable, head-turning truck that can handle everything the Pacific Northwest throws at it, this 2017 RAM 1500 Rebel for sale at Prestige Motors Yakima in Yakima, WA is worth a serious look. Finished in Brilliant Black Crystal Pearlcoat and priced at $25,999, this Crew Cab 4WD Rebel combines off-road attitude with everyday usability — and it's ready to work as hard as you do.
About This 2017 RAM 1500 Rebel
The RAM 1500 Rebel is not your average half-ton pickup. RAM built this truck specifically for buyers who wanted more off-road capability straight from the factory — without having to modify a base trim. At 105,615 miles, this truck is well into its stride. The HEMI V8 is known to run strong well past the 150,000-mile mark with basic maintenance, so there's plenty of life left in this one. The Brilliant Black Crystal Pearlcoat exterior gives it an aggressive, blacked-out presence that turns heads on Yakima Avenue just as easily as it handles a rutted forest road in the Cascades.

2017 RAM 1500 Rebel Performance and Engine
Under the hood sits RAM's legendary HEMI 5.7L V8 with Multi Displacement VVT — a powerplant that has earned its reputation across millions of trucks over decades of production. The engine produces around 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, giving this Rebel the muscle to tow up to 9,290 lbs when properly equipped. Paired with an 8-Speed Automatic transmission, power delivery is smooth and confident whether you're merging onto I-82 or climbing a mountain two-track outside of Naches.
The 4WD drivetrain is purpose-built for conditions around Yakima County — from snow-packed Chinook Pass roads in winter to dusty off-highway routes in summer. The Rebel rides on a factory-lifted suspension with Bilstein shocks and comes standard with 33-inch all-terrain tires, meaning it arrives ready for adventure without a single modification needed.
RAM 1500 Rebel Features and Interior
The Rebel trim level brought a unique combination of off-road hardware and interior comfort that set it apart from both the base RAM and the luxury-focused Laramie trims. The Crew Cab body style means four full-sized doors and genuine rear-seat legroom — a practical choice for families, work crews, or anyone who regularly hauls passengers.
Inside, expect features like RAM's Uconnect infotainment system, a large touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, and available navigation. The interior uses rugged, easy-clean materials that hold up well to the outdoor lifestyle most Rebel owners live. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and a sport performance hood with functional air intake are all part of what makes the Rebel feel like a premium off-road package rather than a stripped-down work truck.
RAM 1500 Rebel Reliability and Ownership
The 2017 RAM 1500 has a strong reliability track record, particularly when powered by the 5.7L HEMI V8. This generation of the RAM 1500 — internally known as the DS platform — is widely regarded as one of the most refined and durable half-ton trucks of its era. The 8-Speed transmission addressed earlier concerns some owners had with the older 6-speed units, delivering smoother shifts and better fuel economy.
Common owner feedback on the Rebel centers on how well it handles both daily driving and weekend off-roading without feeling compromised in either setting. The coil-spring rear suspension — unique to RAM among domestic half-ton trucks — gives the Rebel a noticeably smoother ride than competitors running leaf-spring setups. At this mileage, a pre-purchase inspection is always smart, but buyers should feel confident that a well-maintained HEMI 1500 has significant life remaining.

The Rebel trim adds factory off-road suspension tuned by Bilstein, a raised ride height, 33-inch all-terrain tires, unique Rebel badging and styling, a sport performance hood, and skid plates — features you'd normally have to add aftermarket on lower trims.

What should I check when buying a used RAM 1500 Rebel?
Focus on the condition of the suspension components (Bilstein shocks can wear over time), the HEMI's spark plugs and serpentine belt service history, transmission fluid condition, and any signs of off-road damage to the undercarriage. A pre-purchase inspection from a trusted local mechanic is always recommended.
