New Details Emerge On European-Market Ram Rampage

Ram is gearing up to bring some serious truck attitude to Europe with its compact Rampage. Already a hit in South America, this tough little pickup is aiming to shake up a market dominated by car-based utilities and small crossovers. Thanks to new information from Ram, we now have a better idea of how the European lineup will look — with the Rebel and R/T trims delivering the rugged capability and performance Ram fans expect.

Built To Command Attention –

While many compact trucks try to blend in, the Rampage refuses to be ignored. It has a bold, upright stance, tough body lines, and a wide grille that instantly identifies it as a Ram. High-strength steel construction underpins the entire truck, offering durability whether commuting around town or heading off the beaten path. Wheel options push the aggressive look even further, especially on the R/T, which gets a sporty lowered profile and dual exhaust tips promising serious power under the hood.

Powertrain Options: Diesel Efficiency Or Gasoline Muscle –

Europe will get two engine choices built to match the missions of each trim:

Rebel — Diesel Strength & Efficiency
Powered by a 2.2-liter Multijet II turbo diesel four-cylinder engine, the Rebel generates 200 horsepower and a stout 450 Nm of torque (332 lb-ft). Ram says the Rebel can haul up to 1,015 kg of payload — a big number for a compact truck. Paired with an advanced 9-speed automatic transmission, this setup provides a great balance of capability and fuel economy.

R/T — Hurricane4 Turbo Performance
If speed and excitement are priorities, the R/T’s turbocharged 2.0-liter Hurricane4 gasoline engine is the way to go. With 272 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque (295 lb-ft), it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 6.9 seconds — quicker than many compact performance cars. A top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph) and a sport-tuned exhaust deliver driving fun that’s rare in this segment.

Across the board, four-wheel-drive (4×4) comes standard with an intelligent auto-traction system that distributes torque instantly between the axles. A dedicated 4×4 Low mode allows the truck to tackle loose terrain and steep obstacles with confidence.

Ready For Real-World Work – 

The Rampage isn’t just a lifestyle machine — it was engineered to be a real truck. With up to 980 liters of bed volume, LED cargo lighting, a protective bed liner, and available tonneau cover, it is fully equipped for everyday hauling. An adjustable bed divider allows users to manage cargo loads more effectively, and optional power running boards make getting in and out easier.

On the Rebel, Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires give true dual-purpose flexibility, making it just as comfortable trekking to the mountains as it is pulling family duty in town.

Technology & Comfort That Elevate The Game –

Inside, the Rampage looks and feels like a premium SUV — not a traditional compact pickup. A large 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen sits horizontally atop the dash, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with support for connecting two smartphones at once. A 10.25-inch fully digital instrument panel keeps the driver informed with custom layouts.

Even the seats go above expectations, offering 12-way power adjustment with 4-way lumbar support for both front occupants. Rear passengers get their own vents for added comfort. Premium materials separate the trims: the Rebel features an all-black leather look, while the R/T adds suede inserts with bold Ruby Red stitching and sporty accents. A Harman Kardon™ premium audio system with 10 speakers and a subwoofer is available — standard on the R/T — bringing a crisp soundtrack to every drive.

Convenience features like keyless entry, remote start, wireless phone charging with device cooling, and up to six USB ports (including three fast-charging Type-C outlets) ensure the Rampage has the latest tech Europeans expect.

Confidence-Boosting Safety –

The Rampage comes loaded with modern driver-assist technologies. Forward Collision Warning with autonomous braking helps avoid unexpected trouble. Blind Spot Monitoring increases lane-changing safety. Lane-Keeping and Lane-Centering Assist help the driver stay on a straight course during long highway stretches. Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts speed with traffic for an easier commute.

A full suite of airbags — including front, side, curtain, and a driver’s knee airbag — ensures the cabin is well protected. Disc brakes front and rear, plus traction and roll-mitigation software, add peace of mind when conditions get rough.

Designed For Global Market, Still Proudly Ram –

Ram will offer seven colors in Europe: Diamond Black, Billet Silver, Sting Gray (Ceramic Gray), Maximum Steel, Patriot Blue, Bright White, and Flame Red. For those who want a tougher look, the optional Rambar accessory adds a rugged off-road aesthetic, while heavy-duty molded floor mats help keep the cabin clean after exploring muddy trails.

A Compact Truck With Big Ambition –

The European compact pickup market has room for something bold — something true to truck roots rather than crossover compromise. The Rampage looks ready to fill that role. Between its diesel Rebel workhorse and high-performance R/T, Ram is making a statement: size doesn’t limit capability or excitement.

Europe, get ready. The Rampage is coming. And it’s bringing some attitude with it.
