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.

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.

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.

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.
