Ram Enters 2024 Rebelle Rally with 1500 RHO and Team Brute Squad
Now that the Asia Cross Country Rally 2024 has concluded, rally and race fans are looking for the next big event that will test the mettle of an automobile. The 2024 Rebelle Rally has recently started, and Stellantis returns with a new model to enter the race. Last year, Jeep produced a new film to honor International Day of the Girl and highlight its entry into the 2023 Rebelle Rally with a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Rubicon and Team 4xEventure. This year, another beloved Stellantis brand joins Team Brute Squad with a 2025 Ram 1500 RHO.
Just what is the Rebelle Rally? This isn’t just a race to the finish line. This is an eight-day course that runs from Nevada to California, and covers more than 1,440 miles of desert and off-road terrain to challenge the capability of any vehicle. The first all-women’s off-road rally and the longest competition of its kind in the lower 48 states, the Rebelle Rally is going for its ninth year anniversary in 2024, the rally consists of two classes – 4×4 vehicles with a two-speed transfer case and X-Cross vehicles without a two-speed transfer case. A competition for stock, OEM vehicles with minimal street legal modifications, Ram enters the 2024 Rebelle Rally with a 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, navigated by automotive journalists Jill Ciminillo and Kristin Shaw.
