Minnesota gives you plenty of reasons to want an off-road-ready truck — gravel back roads, muddy spring trails, deer leases, lake cabins, and the occasional field that doubles as a driveway. The 2027 Ram 1500 Off-Road lineup has a trim for every level of that, from a value-focused trail truck to a widebody desert-runner. Here is how they compare.

Warlock
The Warlock is the value entry to the off-road lineup, and it brings real trail hardware. It rides on 18-inch black aluminum wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires, adds front and rear performance-tuned Bilstein shocks, underbody skid plates, front tow hooks, a 1-inch raised ride height, and an electronic locking rear differential. Selec-Speed Control helps on descents.
Inside, it keeps things capable and clean with a 7-inch cluster, front LED fog lamps, and Mopar rubber floor mats — a no-nonsense trail truck for the buyer who wants capability without the premium price of the flagship.
Rebel and Rebel X
The Rebel is the purpose-built off-roader of the group. It offers available air suspension that lifts to about 10.7 inches of ground clearance, a 12-inch digital cluster, Hill Descent Control, Selec-Speed Control, available lower two-tone paint, and a sport performance hood. It is built to handle rougher trails while staying comfortable on the road.
The Rebel X builds on the Rebel Level 2 with extras like a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, console-mounted performance shifter, steering-wheel paddle shifters, premium leather and vinyl bucket seats with red stitching, a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen, a 12-inch digital cluster, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. It is the trail truck for drivers who want premium tech with their capability.
BackCountry
The BackCountry is built for the trails with a 1-inch raised ride height, lower two-tone black paint, 18-inch black aluminum wheels, off-road tires, black badging and bumpers, tow hooks, underbody skid plates, and an electronic locking rear axle. It is available with Big Horn equipment groups and adds a BackCountry instrument-panel badge, Selec-Speed Control, available 12-inch Uconnect NAV radio and digital cluster, and class-exclusive second-row in-floor storage — a great mix of trail capability and everyday usability.
RHO — the off-road flagship
The RHO is the widebody high-performance flagship of the off-road lineup, and it is a genuinely serious machine. It runs the 540-horsepower 3.0L Hurricane High Output engine and rides on exclusive Bilstein Blackhawk e2 active-damping shocks with 35-inch Goodyear tires and 11.8 inches of ground clearance. A performance hood with functional air intake feeds the engine, and the body is 8 inches wider with a 6-inch wider track than the Rebel.
It is built to work, too: the RHO is rated up to 8,370 pounds of max towing and 1,530 pounds of max payload. Inside you get leather-trimmed bucket seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters, MOLLE storage on the seatbacks, a surround-view camera, and nine drive modes covering shifting, suspension, power, and torque.
