Thinking of buying the 2023 Ram 1500 Rebel?

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2023 Ram 1500 Rebel for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2023 Ram 1500 Rebel, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Before you sign for the 1500

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 203 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

The numbers in plain words

Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo and four-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

By the EPA's combined rating of 9.7 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 29 litres. Every 100 km costs about $15.04 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,000 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who the 1500 suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Space and size

It is built for loads that would never fit in a trunk.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Which one to look for

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $150.40 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
