Why Didn't We Get Another Tundra? 2021 Ram Rebel Overland Build - Pros / Cons - Truck Mods
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 06. 2021
- Since my Toyota Tundra was totaled, it was time for another overland rig to build up and go exploring with.
To the surprise of many, I ended up buying a 2021 Ram Rebel and will be modifying it according to my taste.
In this video, I will explain the reason for choosing the Rebel instead of another Toyota Tundra. Some Pros and Cons with the truck based on my initial impressions, and mods planned for the immediate future.

I will always miss Shadow the Tundra. Pouring a 40 for her daily .
O.E. for the O.G.
For the homies that have passed on 😀🤙🏽
RIP Shadow!
Great video man! Can't wait to see what you do next! Happy Father's Day bro!
I think you won’t be disappointed with the ram. It’s a solid truck. The one thing I wanted to share with you is the aftermarket exhaust…the problem I had was when the truck went into eco mode and it turned off the cylinders I got a terrible drone noise…i ended up using a programmer to turn off eco mode to fix the problem.
i mean the ram rebels are cool trucks but the tundra has a special place in my heart
Great new truck you are going to love it... Right now the best resale for pickups is Ram... if your putting on a cap I would still get the same floor package I love the IRS system from Africa for caps with the grill package on the side... Love your show and good with the Ram and family.... The Banks family
Mine too 😔
@@stanfordbanks3399 Hey There - I have a Ram 1500 and I’m curious about what you were saying about putting on a cap and the floor package. Also you mentioned the IRS system from Africa and a grill. Basically I’m asking you to explain those things to me because I’ve never heard of them before. If you could take a minute to help me stop being clueless I would really appreciate it lol. Thank you in advance. Cheers
SmartCap lets you build and organize your truck bed exactly how you want it. But that’s just the beginning, so put on your thinking cap, and let the adventure begin…
@@stanfordbanks3399 I googled it and it came up RSI not IRS. Just fyi
I'm loving this change you've made however unfortunate it's been. I'm sorry that you had the total loss of your Tundra. In my family my wife drives a Tundra and I have a Ram 1500. We're big fans of you and what you've posted on social media overall. My wife and I have done some mods on her Tundra but now it's my turn. I'm so stoked to see what you have in store for us Ram guys. Please keep posting! Thanks for doing so brother!
Tundra guy here but I gotta say Ram has come a long way as far as reliability. And the tech is awesome. Not a bad decision at all. I'll definitely be watching
That wrap looks great! My ‘21 Rebel I ordered in February just arrived at the dealer. It’s out getting window tints, hope to have it by the weekend! I traded an ‘18 Rebel and prior to that had a ‘13 RAM Sport, next to no issues over the past 9 years with my RAM’s. And this is from someone that swore off Dodge in the late 80’s.
Welcome to the Rebel club bud. I’ve had my Rebel for 2yrs, 48K miles and have had Zero issues. Absolute monster off-road. Get the lift kit on it through the dealer so it doesn’t impact the warranty. Be interested in seeing your mods. I’m exploring caps for mine right now as well.
I definitely like the look of the Rebel, I am sure it will work out well for you
Jason
Thanks Jason. I hope it will, but just in case reliability becomes an issue I might use the buddy system with you 😁
Welcome to the RAM family.
I’m a ‘19 Rebel owner and love mine! Welcome to the fam. You just got a new follower.
Happy Father’s Day Edward! Looking forward to this “Raw” Rebel build.
I was going to say, it's raw not shadow 2.0 lol
As a fan of your content and 2021 Rebel owner, solid choice. I look forward to seeing what you do with the vehicle. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my Rebel on and off-road.
Good luck with the new truck Edward! We will be here to experience this journey alongside.
Right on! I’ve got an ‘18 Ram 1500 Limited I’ve been building out for a few years now. Looking forward to seeing this come together!
Happy first Father's day my friend!!! Very cool rig & glad to see you excited for the new build. I could definitely see the emotions in the last vid about Shadow.
The new truck looks great! Best of luck with it and take your time and totally enjoy your build.
Excellent choice on the Ram Rebel. Cant wait to see the mods and future reviews. Keep up the good work.
Really happy that you got your new truck, excited to see the adventures you will have.
Solid work on the Rig! Also great video quality!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Awesome choice! I'm glad you went with a Rebel, as I have a 2020 Rebel, with a Snugtop Rebel on top, and a Roofnest Condor XL on top of that. I am really looking forward to see the mods you choose! I've enjoyed everything you've done with Shadow!
looking forward to seeing your new adventures and upgrades to the ram. I've been following you for a while and enjoy your videos. cheers to new beginnings!
Love It!! Continuing to evolve, and embrace your new journey!
I’m a big ram guy, just got a 24 rebel to build for overlanding, but no hate for the tundra, great truck, great beefy look to it, reliable for a full size truck, just prefer the ram 🤝
Great pic. I love my 2500. The wrap looks awesome, can't wait to see what else you have in store for the truck and the adventures.
Yesssss!!! So excited! I've been bored on CZcams like when is there going to be a good video when I got notified that you uploaded one :D
I'm loving your content! I hide in the background, but look forward to your videos! Happy Father's Day, and look forward to seeing more of your adventures!
Happy for you and your family brother! Cannot wait to see the finished product! 🍻🔥
Congrats on the truck! This video got an instant subscription from me. I bought a Tacoma in 2005 then a brand new one in 08' and that continues to be my daily driver but I'm saving for this Ram Rebel so I can't wait for future vids. Rock on 🤘
Subscribed, awesome to see more content coming out for the Ram Rebel. I've got my 2020 and I love it so far. I'm doing the same in terms of running the wheels and tires for as long as I can before I upgrade (most likely early 2022). Im looking forward to seeing what comes next for this build.
Nice, looking forward to all the coming mods!
Wow that's a sharp looking truck, congratulations! I wouldn't 2nd guess reliability of the Ram. I say that because I went from a Tacoma to a Ram 2500 diesel. After 2 years and 35,000 miles the only issue was a thermostat but that's on Cummins more than Ram. I had 2 tacos and without going into detail they were far from trouble free, although I do think they are well made and I liked how they drove. Bottom line is everything has issues, drive what makes you happy. I installed dura tracs about 6,000 miles ago, deep snow performance is fantastic.
That's going to be one hell of an overlander when your finished with it have fun buddy looking forward to seen it come along
Congrats man! last video hit me right in the feels. Sucks losing something you are so connected too. Looking forward to the new build. You should definetly share all your mod installs!
Got a 2020 Rebel, loveee it! No problems so far what so ever. I drive in 4 wheel high ALL THE TIME non stop even in the summer.
Love your truck man those rebels are nice for sure. I like the aggressive look they have. I recently was in the market for a off-road camping type truck to build on and was deciding between a rebel and a Jeep gladiator. I ended up getting a gladiator which I love. As far as reliability is concerned I feel like with all the newer vehicles it’s mostly just dependent on maintenance. As long as you take care of it, it will last. No truck brand is perfect. Enjoy it brother looking forward to see the build progress!
Can wait to see what you do with this truck brother!
I have a 19 Ram DT BigHorn (4x4 w/ v8) with the level 2 equipment. I also have aftermarket wheels, tires and suspension (18" Rims, 35" tires, 2.5" level). So far I havent experienced any electrical or hardware issues in the 39,000 miles i have on it. Ram has been good to me so far. Good luck with the new truck!
Congratulations on the new rig. Can’t wait to see the build
Truck looks great.
Looking forward to future videos and your short and long term review on the Rebel
Happy Father’s Day
I had a very similar experience to you....had a fully built tacoma for overlanding and had an unfortunate accident on a water crossing resulting in a total loss. i moved to the diesel gladiator and i couldn't be happier. looking forward to following your build! i think this is going to be a great a platform!
Happy Father’s Day man, my first as well. Excited for this Ram and future content.
Welcome to the 5th Gen RAM Fam man. I literally found your channel because of your wrap video on your Tundra. Believe it or not its actually one of the most comprehensive videos on DIY Vinyl wrapping on a full sized truck on CZcams. I used it as a guide for wrapping my own RAM, and while its unfortunate about your Yoda, this is actually really awesome to see you in a Rebel now. Can't wait to see the content you pump out with this beast!
found your channel because I am looking into getting a rebel... about to binge watch your channel lol good stuff
Excited to see the new build coming...
Happy first Father’s Day.Good looking ram can’t wait to see your build.Take care.
After the heartbreak in that last vid, it's great to see you motivated by your new rig!
Nice Truck! Hope it serves you and your family well. That wrap is on point.
Nice Rebel ….. looking forward to seeing the mods and adventures 🇺🇸
Can't wait to see the finished results... nice truck.
Great video! Love the clip from the black to wrapped. I was like, what the!? am I going crazy
I’ve been following your channel for probably a few years now and loved what you did with the Tundra but I’m really excited what future episodes will bring since I’m a fellow 5th gen Rebel owner. A lot of the reasons you mention in your video are the same ones which led me to choose the Ram but I also have similar concerns. A tough one would be overcoming the lack of support for the platform when you are probably used to the plethora of aftermarket components for Toyota’s. Anyhow keep up the good work. 👊🏼
Good call to avoid the excess upcharges!! The used car market is insane! Look forward to hearing all about the truck and how it holds up over the years!
Good choice on the truck sir. I have a 2020 Big horn with the off-road package. LOVE IT!
Congratulations on new ride
Sweet vid bro, I think I know what I'll be buying next for my forever vehicle!
Happy Father’s Day and great looking rig. Looking forward to more great videos
Disregard the negative comments. It’s your truck, not theirs, and it’s your hard earned money and not theirs. So build what you want. Every brand has pros and cons, like you said, there’s no perfect truck.
That's right Brother! Run what you brung and let's have some trail fun.
Yup. No back seat driving. Smoothest full size truck out right now. Enjoy.
People are exaggerating the reliablity of Toyota and understating the reliablity of ram.
I know people who have had tundras last forever. I also know people who have had their dodge ram last forever.
Love it, looking forward to the upcoming mods and adventures 👍
Great looking truck Edward. This is going to be a fun buildout. Looking forward to seeing what your choice of camper/tent turns out to be. Lets get some camping in together!
Looking forward to seeing more of your Shadow 2.0 build
that wrap looks great, man! Love the color.
Great video my friend. I bought the 21 rebel and I almost got all of the packages on it. I did get the 4 corner air suspension on mine and it is worth it. Just drove a 2600 mile road trip and I felt the difference. Keep up the Rebel videos.
Yes! love your channel and have a rebel overlander myself. Can't wait to see what you do with it!!
Excited to watch this build!
You def made the right choice ! If your baby loves it that’s all that matters, that locking diff is a beast.
Congratulations on the new Rebel, Edward! Brother, I think it is a sweet machine and I nearly bought a Dodge Ram truck, all black. I opted for a '19 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van instead. I'm about 80% completed on my conversion. In two months, I will leave my bricks and mortar abode in Virginia and begin my adventure, i.e. traveling and living throughout the lower 48, Canada and Alaska. I will most likely be based in Sacramento, CA, at my sister's home. I hope to I get an opportunity to meet all of you guys up in the Northwest as you all are top notch people and overlanders. My rig won't be set up or capable of 4X4 activities initially as I want to live in it almost full time.
I have a 2020 Tundra SR5 double cab TRD with the 6'7" bed. I have had it a year now. 20k miles. The options I had on it was all I wanted and Ram, Ford F150, Chevy/GMC, would have cost about 5k more. I generally don't off road in it but live in the country with a lot of dirt roads. Volunteer Firefighter with a lot of tree down calls. Carry a chain saw, straps&chains and have pulled sizeable trees off the road. It is a "beast!" Metallic gray like your "beloved" Shadow! Great job on your videos and you can make your new Ram Rebel into what you want I am sure! Good for you!!
Love your content and outstanding video production!
nice truck buddy.... happy for you :-] cant wait to see all the mods !
I have a bedslide in my F150, love it. Wish I did it sooner. Great for camping and also still hauling things. Making a kitchen setup that attaches to the bedslide that can come out when not needed. Good luck with the build.
Love your videography!!! I also traded my Tundra in and started a 2020 RAM 2500 build, with many pros, and cons. I started wanting Diesel to start and worked from there now my Rig is KNOW as the BEAST!! rolling on 40s..
Edward happy to see back on the trail 🤙🏻 always support a fellow overlander !
Family first as a dad myself I 100% agree with you my friend!
Thanks Cory! Happy Father’s Day 🙌
The ending was classic!!! Love the truck! Congratulations! I can’t wait to see how Shadow 2.0 turns out. Ps I’m also the one that sent you the auction page of Shadow 1.0.
New to the channel, thank you for sharing your adventures. I enjoy relaxing videos of the great outdoors. Also in a few years going to buy a new truck so it’s good to see different takes of what is offered in the truck market.
Love ur videos just discovered them thanks a lot for posting them
Great video. Will be curious to see how you transform this truck.
Edward and family....
Happy Father's Day Amigo.
Great video.
Well thought out...
👊
Congrats on the buy. I think you will enjoy the new truck. From having driven most of the trucks including the Tundra I just couldn't pass on the Rebel (first gen). You can't beat the fact that you can fit up to 315/70/r17 with no lift at all and no cutting needed. Now running carli king performance suspension and it drives like a Cadillac pretty much. As far as reliability I would say look at it this way, the engine and transmission are solid and they perform great while having more power. The fuel economy will be better and it will simply be more comfortable plus safety is a key factor as well. My truck has over 200k km on it and most has been modified and have done countless jumps on the truck still kicks ass. The only issues I had was the cruise control acting up and the exhaust leaking. Do the maintenance and it will be amazing. In order to be innovative you have to push the reliability I believe. I worked at a Toyota dealership and honestly they break just as much ( water pumps, wheel bearing, steering racks, and the leaf springs strangely enough). Also look at the sales. It can't be that the wast majority of truck buyers are dumb. Toyota makes such a small percentage of the sales and I wonder why if it is the " greatest truck to be made". Keep up the great videos and dont worry about the reliability. It will prove itself. 😁
Awesome truck looking forward to all the vids
Amazing Vid, and love the personal opinions!
Glad to see you come to the Ram Family. I loved your content before, no I think I’ll like it even more!
Very nice, love the Rebel!! Can’t wait to see how you outfit her! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Take it from a long-time high-mileage Ram 1500 owner: Follow the maintenance schedule, and that includes servicing that ZF transmission prior to 100k miles. Do that and you will be rewarded. My purchased-new 2014 is at 150k miles and runs like new. I doubt you’ll still have your original brakes like I do, but be advised that if you take care of the truck, it will more than take care of you.
I've had my 2019 Ram 1500 Sport for 18 months and it's been brilliant and how you treat your truck is how reliable it ends up being.
The true reliability face will show up after car/truck sees 3 years of seasons. Living up to weather of each season is what ages car/truck mostly, and is not that much a mileage. Glad you have your truck doing well!
Happy Father's Day, Edward! Best wishes to you and yours, too!
Subbed. I’ve had my 2021 Rebel for a few mo the now and have done several mods to it. LOVING the truck and the interior is just killer. If you haven’t added the Sprint Booster to yours I’d highly recommend it! Takes that little bit of throttle lag right out. I’ve got the Trigger 4 system in mine with Rough Country Black series pods and light bar on my camper shell. It’s a sweet setup!
Congrats! Looks great!
Losing the tundra was bitter sweet but you definitely made a good replacement. Can't wait to see the new adventures on the channel to come.🤙🏾💯
Lol was just thinking now you gotta wrap this one! Beautiful truck, enjoy it.
I am not a Ram fan, but I really like the way you are evaluating it. I look forward to your thoughts on it. Keep up the great content!
The Rebel, TRX, and Power Wagon are all badass.
Congrats!!
Happy father's day! Diggin your new ride!
Right on "Bruddah Ed"! Likin' da new ride! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Ol' Scooter"…down in East Texas!
Ive had 3 late model rams. NEVER been back to dealer with any of them! Best trucks weve ever owned!! Best motors. Best trannys. Best interior. Not close
Awesome wrap color Edward. Tundra guy here as well but the Ram looks good. Gonna be nice to follow the build process!
Sweet new setup. Looking forward to the mods.
As always, love it. Looking forward to hearing your opinions off road. They family will love it. We gotta get the trucks together, maybe spawn some little baby Ram’s 🤣🤙🏼
That is how I will give Chloe the “birds and the bees” talk! Lol
Nice rig. Good choice with the wrap
Happy Father's day Edward. Kinda late being early Monday morning. Be safe. Cheers
Love my rebel! Hitting subscribe, Looking forward to your build.
