I have been seeing a lot of rumors saying that both Ram and Jeep will be producing both a compact and a midsize pickup truck for the US, but not having seen this on MoparInsiders, I don't know what is real and what is just AI. I have seen articles and YouTube content talking about
1. a future US-spec Ram Rampage compact pickup,
2. a future US-spec unibody Jeep Comanche compact pickup,
3. in addition to the known upcoming "unnamed" Ram midsize pickup to be built at Belvidere now being reported to be built on a shortened version of the STLA Frame platform,
4. and potentially a next generation Jeep Gladiator based on the upcoming Jeep Wrangler (J7O) or the previously mentioned Ram midsize; both I have heard.
Some of the info I've read is contradictory and some of the info is presented as fact though details are lacking or simply speculative. However, if what the AI is generating is correct, then Stellantis will be producing 4 new trucks for the US (outside of the next generation fullsize trucks). How much of this is real? And if so, where will this avalanche of new trucks be built? And what platforms will the be on? Or is this all just AI generated fiction?
 
I don't know, but I've been told next gen Wrangler in '28 so I'd expect Gladiator in '29. I would think that if they want to launch the Dakota (or whatever they'll call it) again they would want to do that before the next gen Gladiator.

If they do it correctly (no weird, overly complex powertrain) it will most likely be my next truck. My current lease will be up in 2029 and I'll be salivating over a new Dakota if they build it correctly.
