Stellantis has introduced the highly anticipated Ram Rampage pickup truck in Brazil, and it looks ready to go head-to-head with its competitor, the Ford Maverick. But that’s only if the company decides to sell it in America. 

In terms of performance, the Rampage boasts an impressive lineup of features. Equipped with the new Hurricane 4 engine delivering 272 horsepower and a stout 295 lb-ft of torque for a top speed of over 136 mph.

Designed with America in Mind

When it comes to design, the Rampage stands tall with its bold and aggressive lines. Whether you prefer the rugged off-road look of the Rebel version, the classic appeal of the Laramie with its chrome accents, or the sporty lines of the R/T, the Rampage offers a range of options to suit individual tastes. Note that those trim lines all share familiar names with American versions of the Ram 1500. And while we look for more clues that the Rampage will head stateside, we can’t ignore the stars and stripes embedded in the taillights.

Inside the cabin, the Rampage showcases the latest in technology and connectivity. With its spacious 12.3-inch touchscreen—the largest in its class—drivers can effortlessly access their favorite apps and functions. Seamless wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay ensures drivers stay connected and entertained throughout their journey.

The Rampage is equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features. From adaptive cruise control to blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning, Ram has checked all the boxes we’d expect for a safety suite set for the U.S. market.
