Ram Rebel Ground Clearance

The Rebel provides 10.3 inches of total ground clearance with its 4-corner air suspension system that allows drivers to adjust their ride height automatically or independently.  The suspension is very active and can level the load, so your truck bed’s weight is distributed evenly.   

Included with that ground clearance you get an off road suspension, locking rear differential, and a lot of internal upgrades as well.

Typical Towed Objects Weight

Here are some typical weight ranges for objects that are towed by Trucks.  You can match that with the towing capacity of the model you are interested in to see if it can safely pull it.  Some of these weights are unloaded weights so be sure to do the math if you want to load up the item with extra equipment or toys.

Tear Drop Trailer (lbs) – 800 to 3,500

Pop Up Campers (lbs) – 1,500 to 4,500

Travel Trailer (lbs) – 1,200 to 10,000+
