Ram Brazil Teases Limited Edition Rampage Rebel

Ram Brazil is stirring excitement among Brazilian truck enthusiasts with a teaser video showcasing a new limited edition variant of its popular Rampage Rebel pickup. Although the video is short on specifics, it reveals that the new model features hood decals similar to those on the performance-focused Rampage R/T, alongside bed side “Rebel” decals, red interior stitching, and a new exterior shade of either red or orange. It’s hard to tell from the video.

The Rampage: A Compact Powerhouse – 

For those unfamiliar with the Rampage, it is a compact pickup similar in size to the Ford Maverick. Built on the Small-Wide 4×4 LWB architecture shared with the Jeep® Compass, the Rampage also borrows the Compass’ front doors, windshield, and A-pillars. Despite its compact size, the Rampage is renowned for its power and performance.

The Teaser Video – 

The teaser video does show us a few tidbits about what the new limited edition truck has in store. It looks like the truck will get the same hood decals as the Ram Rampage R/T, with bed side “Rebel” decals, red interior stitching, and a new shade of either red or orange. Its hard to tell.

The Hurricane4 Engine – 

At the heart of the Rampage’s impressive performance is the Hurricane4 engine, a first for vehicles manufactured in South America. This 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine delivers 272 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. Made entirely of aluminum, the engine features direct injection and double variable valve control, ensuring high performance.

Belonging to the Stellantis Global Medium Engine (GME) family, the Hurricane4 engine includes advanced technologies like a low inertia twin-scroll turbocharger, an electronic relief valve, and a refrigerated exhaust gas recirculation system. These innovations contribute to the Rampage’s exceptional performance among regional pickup trucks.

Performance and Specifications – 

The Hurricane4 engine is standard across all Rampage versions, but the R/T variant exclusively features this powertrain. The R/T accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.9 seconds and has a top speed of 137 mph. Other versions also offer impressive performance, with a 0-60 mph time of 7.1 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph.

Equipped with a dual exhaust system, the Rampage produces an engaging sound, particularly in the R/T model. The Rebel and Laramie versions feature a Sport button on the steering wheel, which enhances the digital instrument panel’s appearance, sharpens accelerator and steering responses, and adjusts gear changes at higher RPMs. In the R/T, this button is customized for the variant, further enhancing these parameters.

Advanced Transmission and Drivetrain – 

To handle the engine’s power, the Rampage uses a 9-speed automatic transmission with a rotary selector similar to the Ram 1500. Drivers can also manually shift gears using the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The Rampage comes standard with automatic 4×4 traction, distributing power between the two axles and offering a low-range mode activated by a button on the center console.

Looking Ahead – 

While details about the new limited edition Rampage Rebel are still under wraps, the teaser video has certainly piqued interest. Whether it turns out to be a Rampage Rebel G/T, Night Edition, or a special anniversary model, it’s clear that Ram Brazil is continuing to innovate and excite its customer base with high-performance, stylish pickups. Fans will be eagerly awaiting more information on this intriguing new variant.
