Detroit Auto Show highlights most trucks that go on sale this year - Chron.com

Ford pulled off a real coup, stealing the show with its exotic Ford GT. But when you want to get work done, haul stuff home for your DIY project, hunt or fish or tow a trailer, the pickup is the go-to tool in most people's garage. 2015 Ram 1500 Rebel. The Ram 1500 Rebel gives truck buyers 10 trim levels to choose from. Available exclusively as a crew cab and 5-ft. 7-inch bed, Rebels get an adjustable air suspension that raises the truck an inch for more ground and tire clearance. The Rebel comes with 33-inch Toyo Open Country A/T all-terrain tires in size LT285/70. They're mounted on 17-inch silver and black aluminum wheels and the fender flares from the Ram 2500 Power Wagon. The combination of larger tires and a suspension lift delivers a ground clearance of 10. 3 inches, which Ram said is "best-in-class". Bilstein supplies front and rear shock absorbers with specific tuning and a new steering calibration is matched to the Rebel's increased ride height. The Rebel has its own, all-new grille that's blacked out and drops Ram's usual "cross-hair" design in favor of a silver RAM badge. The Darth Vader theme continues inside, where the instrument panel, armrests and central console armrest are black. Source: www.chron.com
