The 2024 [Ram Rampage]() is the first Ram product to be designed and built in Brazil, which is the only country where it'll initially be sold. While there's no official word on whether the Rampage will make it to the United States,[ sources recently told *The Drive*]() that it will. It looks like the perfect truck to rival the current compact and midsize truck offerings here. The [Ram]() Rampage is built on a platform that will also bear some American fruit, such as the [Alfa Romeo Tonale ]()and [Dodge Hornet](). There's a choice of two different four-cylinder engines, a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel is the base engine with 170 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The upgraded engine is a 2.0-liter turbo-four "Hurricane 4" with 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet, which comes in the Rampage R/T, Rebel, and Laramie. Both engines get a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can spot the Rampage R/T from its 10-mm lower ride height and 19-inch wheels. It also gets stiffer suspension for slightly better handling. The Rampage Rebel gets unique wheels and all-terrain tires. The Laramie is the luxury trim, with chrome trim, flashier 18-inch wheels, and plusher brown leather. Of the three Hurricane 4-powered models, the R/T is the quickest, hitting 60 mph in 6.9 seconds, while the other two do the same sprint in 7.1 seconds. The Ram Rampage Turbo Diesel starts at $50,295 (239,990 Brazilian Real) but if you want to upgrade to the more luxurious Laramie diesel model, it'll cost you $52,391 (249,990 Real). The Ram Rampage Rebel also costs $52,391 (249,990 Real), while the Hurricane 4-powered Rampage Laramie costs $54,486 (259,990 Real) and the Rampage R/T is the most expensive, at $56,582 (269,990 Real). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With its muscular looks, the Ram Rampage perfectly matches the design language of its larger, older Ram siblings, just in a smaller package that's perfect for taking on the Ford Maverick. The Rampage will likely be announced for the U.S. market later this year, which means we should see a small pickup truck grudge match soon enough. ![]() ![]() ![]() *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
