Don't know why I haven't found this thread till now !? One worthy of discussion, least for me, because I've been conundrum'n over a REBEL vs. BIG HORN Off Road Package ! More so because I'm "scared" of the Rebel price tag (minimal build) vs. Big Horn with a Larger # of add-ons to get it closer to a Rebel !

Rebel thoughts -- Don't really have need for the more "aggressive" stance, but I LIKE the Grill More.
33" tires, nah ! All Black (mostly vinyl) Interior, nah !
Big Horn thoughts -- Hmm, if only I could exchange for the Rebel Grill ! ! 32" on/off road tires - plenty;
only fear, their going to be Hankook crap ! I'm really liking the black/brown
Interior (1st one w/brown cloth seats). Max. Steel or Rugged Brown Exterior !
Leaning to Max Steel cause it's a Clear Coat ! Wish the R.B. were Clear Coat !
BOTH -- Built as V6 - Love the V6/8-spd. in my Jeep G.C. ! With the reduction of ~ 225 lbs. and
eTorque / ~ + 10% mpg . . . well, can't complain about that !
One more week to go and the Shock Numbers will tell ALL when "Build & Price" - let's hope
"The Price is Right" !?

I just ordered the '19 Laramie with the 3.92 gear ratio and Off Road Package....I traded in my '17 Ecodiesel (ED). My Ed had so many issues, was sluggish in cold weather, and was not responsive at all.

Anyone know which shocks are on the Rebel vs the non-Rebel with Off-Road package? Same shocks on air vs non-air suspension for non-Rebel Off-Road models?

Bilstein shocks are on the one without the air suspension.

Well, I'll ask the obvious Other Question . . . Does anyone know which shocks are on the NON-Rebel (for example a Big Horn with the Off Road Package + On/Off road tires ?

Only thing I can find is it says Off Road shocks so they could be anything.

Based on that I'd say the shocks are different between the off road group and the Rebel. Off road group shocks are probably still an in house shock while the Rebel has the Bilsteins.

Can someone post some real life photos of the '19 Ram 1500 with the off road package. Also, any word on if the off road package will slow delivery time down?

I'm not too sure, I know it includes the skid plates which were showing up as late availability but I'm not sure if they're past that now or not.

this new off road group really raises the bar for Ram. Knowing the elocker will engage and disengage and engage......makes it all the better. 10mph is a good number to have it kick out.

Can't wait to see a comparison on an actual drivable loose surface to see the difference between open diff, limited slip, elocker, off road package and Rebel. @Jared Balfour when you get the chance to review this wonderful truck, please be sure (which I have no doubt you will ) to try a loose hill and note the rear axle option.

If I don't make a purchase sooner than later, and this package makes it too the 2500, I may literally have to play Eni mEni mini mo to pick.

Great problem to have
