2013-2018 Dodge Ram Rebel Black / Red Stitching Leather Heated Steering Wheel.

The black leather steering wheel with red stitching is a distinctive feature of the 2015-2018 Ram 1500 Rebel. It's also a highly sought-after OEM upgrade for owners of other 2013-2018 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models who want to add a sportier, more aggressive look to their truck's interior.

Key Features

• Materials: Typically made of a combination of smooth black leather on the top and bottom, with perforated leather on the sides for better grip.¹

• Stitching: The signature red stitching provides a striking contrast and the "Rebel" aesthetic.

• Design: It often features a thicker, more contoured grip than the standard steering wheel on lower trim levels.

• Compatibility: This steering wheel is a direct fit for all 2013-2018 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models. The design and mounting points for the steering wheel itself are the same across these years and models.

Important Considerations for Upgrading

When buying this steering wheel, it's crucial to understand the different features and what you may need to swap or modify.

• Heated Functionality: The Rebel steering wheel was available with or without a heated function.

  • If your current steering wheel is heated, you must purchase a Rebel steering wheel with the heated element to retain this function.

  • If your current steering wheel is not heated, you can install a heated Rebel wheel, but it will not work without additional parts (a different clockspring, wiring, and programming with a tool like AlfaOBD).

• Steering Wheel Controls: The steering wheel itself does not contain the controls (buttons for radio, cruise, etc.). The control buttons and the airbag are separate components. You will need to transfer your existing controls and airbag to the new Rebel steering wheel. This is a key benefit, as it ensures your pre-existing features will work correctly.

• Airbag: The airbag from your original 2013-2018 Ram steering wheel is fully compatible and must be transferred to the new steering wheel.
