Stellantis has identified a unique gap in the European market—something that sits between compact crossovers and midsize pickups—and plans to fill it with the Ram Rampage. Originally designed and built in Brazil, this unibody pickup is set to make its European debut in two trims: the off-road-ready Rebel and the street-focused R/T.
While the Rampage’s design isn’t entirely new, it remains striking and practical. It closely mirrors the model launched in Brazil a few years ago, produced at Stellantis’ Pernambuco plant. Measuring 5,028 mm in length, 1,886 mm in width, and 1,716 mm in height, it offers a more manageable footprint for Europe’s narrower streets compared to full-size pickups like the Ram 1500.
The two trims cater to different driving needs. The Rebel comes with 235/65 R17 all-terrain tires, emphasizing its off-road capability, while the R/T is designed for street performance, featuring a stiffer suspension, larger 19-inch wheels with 235/55 tires, and a slightly lower ride height of 10 mm. Ram describes the Rampage as a “premium compact lifestyle pickup,” but beyond marketing buzz, its 980-liter cargo bed and diesel-equipped maximum payload of 1,015 kg are its most practical highlights.
Engine options reflect the trim distinctions. The Rebel uses a 2.2-liter “Multijet” turbodiesel four-cylinder generating 200 hp and 450 Nm of torque, capable of reaching 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds with a top speed of 196 km/h. The R/T is powered by a 2.0-liter gasoline unit from the “Hurricane” family, producing 272 hp and 400 Nm, and accelerates to 100 km/h three seconds faster, topping out at 220 km/h thanks to an electronically limited system.
Both models come equipped with four-wheel disc brakes, independent suspension, hill start assist, and hill descent control. Advanced driver-assistance technologies, including Highway Assist and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, enhance safety and convenience. Inside, the cabin is modern and connected, featuring a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
The Rampage’s European launch coincides with the arrival of the new Toyota Hilux, although the two vehicles are not direct rivals. The Hilux is a body-on-frame midsize pickup designed as a workhorse, targeting competitors such as the Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok. Notably, the Rampage is also not Ram’s smallest pickup—that title belongs to the Ram 700, a rebadged Fiat Strada sold in Latin America. Despite earlier speculation, Stellantis has confirmed that the Rampage will not be offered in North America.
With its blend of compact practicality, lifestyle-focused design, and capable powertrains, the Ram Rampage aims to carve out a new niche for European pickup buyers who want something smaller, more versatile, and distinctly Ram.
