Expected Pricing
Timeline & Trims
- Arrival: Officially slated for a 2028 release according to Stellantis' five-year plan, though Stephen notes this typically means we could see a physical reveal or launch as early as late 2026 or early 2027.
- Trim Levels: The truck is expected to mirror its current South American market offerings by coming to North America in both a street-performance R/T variant and an off-road-focused Rebel trim.
Sizing & Bed Dimensions (vs. Ford Maverick)
Stephen compares the exact dimensions of the current Brazilian-market Rampage against the Maverick, noting that while the Rampage is slightly shorter overall, it boasts a wider body and a longer bed volume:
- Length: 197.9 inches (slightly shorter than the Maverick's 199.6 inches).
- Wheelbase: 117.8 inches (vs. the Maverick's 121.1 inches).
- Width: 74.2 inches (a full 1.7 inches wider than the Maverick's 72.5 inches).
- Bed Length: 57.1 inches (longer than the Maverick's 54.4-inch bed).
- Bed Volume: 34.6 cubic feet (vs. the Maverick's 33.3 cubic feet).
- Bed Width: 41.5 inches between the wheel wells (slightly narrower than the Maverick's 42.6 inches).
Powertrain & Mechanicals
- Engine: While international markets get a 2.2L turbo-diesel, Stephen expects the North American model to use the 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 "Hurricane" engine.
- Output: In its current state, this engine pushes 272 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
- Drivetrain: Power is routed through a 9-speed automatic transmission to a front-wheel-drive-biased all-wheel-drive system (similar to the Maverick's setup).
Interior & Technology
Stephen points out that the Rampage's cabin is already "good to go" for North American consumer expectations, featuring:
- A 12.3-inch center touchscreen alongside a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster.
- Premium touches like wireless phone charging, 6 USB ports, full LED headlights, upgraded materials, and an available Harman Kardon premium sound system.
- Visual styling that heavily borrows from a scaled-down, "baby" Ram 1500.
Expected Pricing
- Stellantis explicitly highlighted plans to introduce more affordable models, teasing nine upcoming vehicles under $39,000—including two priced under $29,000.
- Stephen strongly expects the base Rampage to be one of those sub-$29k vehicles to directly combat the base Ford Maverick XL (which starts around $27,145), with high-end trims like the R/T or Rebel pushing closer to $40,000.
