The interior of the new Ram is a marvel every automaker ought to study-not just for their own trucks, but for every SUV, sports car, and sedan they build. The Rebel plowed over potholes and rough spots without notice, something that doesn't even happen in other pickups.or, hell, even luxury cars nowadays, what with high-end automakers trying to reduce sidewalls to near-invisible thickness. Those giant off-road-ready Goodyears- 33-inch Wrangler DuraTrac tires, in case you were curious-proved as well-suited to New York City's mean streets as they are pounding through mud and over shattered stone.Even without the delightful air suspension, though, the Rebel rode delightfully, with near-unibody comfort and barely a hint that the suspension was ready at any moment to take on more than half a ton of added load in the bed. While all previous-gen Rebels scored Ram's four-corner air suspension, the new one only offers it as an option coil springs are standard, and came equipped on the tester I logged several hundred miles on over the course of the Christmas break. Rides well, as every new Ram 1500 does.Every variation on the new Ram looks good, but the added inch of suspension lift, blacked-out nose that goes heavy on the pissed-off bull allusions, and hood that looks like a rankled cat with its hair up all dial the Rebel to near-monster truck levels of attitude.
