Meet The 2025 Ram 1200 Midsized Pickup For Mexico

Chinese-Built Midsized Truck, Looks To Offer A Budget-Friendly Offering For Mexican Customers...

Ram Mexico is expanding its lineup for 2025 by introducing the 2025 Ram 1200. While new to the Mexican portfolio, this vehicle has been produced for other brands in the Stellantis portfolio, such as Fiat’s Titano and Peugeot’s Landtrek.

Produced in China, the Ram 1200 is a body-on-frame midsized pickup based on the Chinese Kaicene F70 and Changan trucks. Although it shares the same sheet metal as its Fiat and Peugeot siblings, the Ram 1200 differentiates itself with a unique grille design and R-A-M text on the tailgate. It is available in two cab configurations (a two-door Regular Cab and a four-door Crew Cab) and three different trim levels (Tradesman, Big Horn, and Laramie) to accommodate the needs of the Mexican market.

Trim Levels and Features –

Both the Big Horn and Laramie are available in three color choices: Dark Gray Metallic, Metallic Red, or Gray.

So where does this sit in reference to the Ram Rampage. Honestly it would be cool for the Rampage to come to the US on the STLA Large platform with the 4Xe powertrain.

I love Stellantis, especially Dodge, Fiat, & Alfa Romeo. But Chinese made? No thank you. Given Communist China's belligerence to its neighbors and desire to dominate, I avoid "Made in China" items.

They are not communist they are Totalitarian Capitalists.... there is a difference. Think of it more as China Corp. They don't pretend to be communist anymore, not only do workers not own the means of production, but the leadership is also not directly elected. Its not for sale here anyway, if you want a Chinese car you have to go to Volvo, Buick, Polestar,....

Do it the Chinese way, glean as much information from this truck, especially economy of manufacture techniques and reverse engineer your product from that information. One aspect would be a market penetration test case to see its potential stateside with a few for customer evaluation in real world setting. It seems Ram has been slow in developing something for Belvedere as announced. Wish we had more information. Glad Ram has access to this small truck but they can do better with what comes, hopefully we learn what it is in the near future. Not thrilled with anything from China.
