Ram Rampage Starts at €44,000 in Europe, Above a US Ram 1500
Stellantis is selling the Brazilian-built Ram Rampage compact pickup in Europe from €44,000, a higher starting price than the full-size Ram 1500 in the US.
Stellantis is bringing the Ram Rampage, a compact pickup built in Brazil, to Europe at a starting price of €44,000 ($49,200) before taxes, according to Carscoops. That is above the US starting price of the much larger Ram 1500, and the Rampage is not sold in the United States.
The Ram 1500 starts at $42,025 for the Tradesman trim, and the better-equipped Big Horn costs $47,280, Carscoops reported. The European Rampage is a four-cylinder unibody truck, while the 1500 is a full-size truck with a six-cylinder engine.
Two trims, a price above Brazil’s
The Rampage debuted in South America three years ago. Europe gets only two high-spec versions: the off-road-styled Rebel and the sportier R/T. In Brazil, pricing currently runs from R$199,990 to R$225,490 ($36,300 to $41,000), depending on the specification, so the European price is higher.
The importer KW Auto handles distribution in major European markets. First deliveries are expected in February 2026, according to Carscoops.
Equipment and powertrains
Both trims come with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster, leather upholstery, 12-way power front seats, Harman Kardon audio and Level 2 driver assistance. The Rebel adds plastic body cladding and 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires. The R/T has a sportier body kit, a lowered suspension, a louder exhaust and 19-inch alloy wheels.
- Rebel: 2.2-liter turbodiesel, 197 hp (147 kW / 200 PS).
- R/T: turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine, 268 hp (200 kW / 272 PS).
Neither engine is electrified. Both send power to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission.
The truck is 198 inches (5,028 mm) long and sits on the Small Wide unibody platform, which is sourced from the Jeep Compass, with a multilink rear suspension. Bed capacity is 980 lt (34.6 cubic feet). Payload ranges from 1,653 to 2,238 lbs (750 to 1,015 kg).
Few direct rivals in Europe
In South America the Rampage competes with the Ford Maverick and the Renault Niagara. In Europe it will be the only compact unibody pickup, so the alternatives are traditional midsize pickups. In Germany, the Ford Ranger starts at €46,590 ($52,200) and the Toyota Hilux at €46,746 ($52,300).
What it means for US truck shoppers
US buyers cannot order the Rampage. For comparison, the European starting price sits between the Ram 1500 Tradesman and the Big Horn in dollar terms, as Carscoops converted it. The currency conversions are Carscoops’ figures and exclude European taxes.
Ram is working on a new midsize Dakota with a ladder-frame chassis for the US, Carscoops reported. It will differ from the South American Dakota, which rides on Chinese underpinnings. Pricing and a launch date for the US Dakota were not given.
