2024 Ram Rampage

Overview

The full-size Ram 1500 has long been one of our favorite pickup trucks and soon, Ram will offer up a Honey, I Shrunk the Truck version of the bestselling Stellantis product. The Rampage, known as the Ram 1200 in other markets, has been rumored for the U.S. to compete against other compact pickups such as the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. While it's currently available in Brazil, the all-wheel-drive Rampage could appear in the U.S. as soon as 2024. Despite its economy packaging, the Rampage doesn't skimp on the luxurious features we've come to love in a full-size truck, such as a power-opening tailgate. Like other compact pickups, the Rampage will likely use unibody construction, possibly the same platform found under the Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo Tonale. More details and a full reveal are expected sometime next year.

What's New for 2024?

The U.S. variant of the Ram Rampage is speculated to be revealed in 2024 as an all-new pickup. This new mini-truck will likely join the Maverick and Santa Cruz for the U.S. in the compact-truck segment.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

While Ram hasn't announced Rampage pricing or trim levels yet, we can make an educated guess as to its pricing. We expect the Rampage to begin well above the Ford Maverick's incredibly affordable sub-$25,000 starting price, which will likely mean it has a better interior with more standard features. The Rampage may get an off-road-focused trim called the Rebel, similar to the Maverick Tremor, which will also serve as a middle tier. The R/T should have the most options, the biggest wheels, and a price that reflects it. It's also possible Ram throws the 288-hp PHEV powertrain from the Hornet R/T in there.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The Rampage that's currently sold in Brazil is a strong indicator that the littlest Ram could share the 268-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four from the Hornet GT. Regardless of the powertrain, all-wheel drive will be standard, and we're sure the nine-speed automatic transmission will carry over too. Instead of the diesel powertrain available in Brazil, we think the Rampage could also borrow the Hornet's plug-in-hybrid parts, giving it a 288-hp PHEV powertrain that combines a turbocharged 1.3-liter inline-four with an electric motor and a six-speed automatic. Could this be the return of the sport truck? We'll find out later as more details are announced.
