Compact Pickup Sighting Hints At Ram’s Deeper European Testing Plans​

The timing couldn’t be more interesting. On the very same day that Ram Trucks Europe announced it would showcase the Brazilian-built Ram Rampage at Fieracavalli 2025 in Verona, our good friend Walter Vayr (@GabetzSPYUnit) spotted a Laramie-trimmed Rampage being road-tested near Turin, Italy. The coincidence has sparked fresh speculation that Ram could be quietly preparing its compact pickup for potential European validation.

Why isn't this handsome truck not in the North American market? It's got to be better than the fugly Ford Maverick.

Two things.
I would bet if this gets the green light for Europe, they will see it in their show rooms before the U.S. sees our midsize Ram.
Second, I bet the folks in South America (and maybe Europe) LOVE seeing the U.S. flag in those tail lights!!! lol

I agree. Can’t see why the U.S. can’t have this Rampage (compact) along with the new mid-size (Dakota?) Ram that’s coming. Seeing the U.S. is supposed to be the richest country in the world. Blows my mind that the poor countries are getting these vehicles and the U.S. is not. Does Stellantis not like American money? Now this is not about Trump or tariffs. These trucks have been in production in these country’s long before both. I would guess this falls on the bad decisions Carlos made?

I admit I was mystified by the decision not to import the Rampage to the states, but I acceded reluctantly to wiser folks calling the shots. Mea Cuppa .
I now realize the Rampage “easy fix”, though attractive, was flawed on two fronts.
First conformity to US safety/emission codes and second a sustainable domestic manufacturing site that would avoid tariffs The new administration encouraging the move to America manufacturing now playing out smartly at Stellantis has given validity to that decision as a mid-size and compact Ram pickup will both be built here in the U.S. in compliance with codes and political realities long term.
Yes I was wrong and the delay will play out to two great products that might not be quick, but wise. Got it wrong, Ram leadership got it right.
