According to Ram, the name 'Rampage' is taken from the English word, meaning "agitation, noise, uproar, fury". The name was also reused from the 1980s Dodge Rampage coupe utility.[4]
Overview edit
The Rampage is built on the Small Wide global platform shared with the Jeep Compass, Jeep Commander, and Fiat Toro. It is the largest model that uses the platform and received 60 percent of new components on the platform alone, in addition to the bodywork. Ram claimed that 86 percent of high- and ultra-strength steels are used in the Rampage. Many components are shared with the Jeep Compass and Commander, such as the front door panels, windshield, and interior parts and trims. The wheelbase is 4 mm (0.2 in) longer than the Fiat Toro due to adjustments done with the suspension.[5]
The bed is 1,450 mm (57.1 in) long (2,100 mm (82.7 in) with tailgate open) and 1,055 mm (41.5 in) wide, with a volume of 980 liters. For the gasoline model, the capacity is rated at 750 kg (1,653 lb), while the diesel model is rated at 1,015 kg (2,238 lb).[5]
Production of the Rampage officially started on June 6, 2023 through a ceremony at the Goiana plant owned by Stellantis. The ceremony was attended by president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.[6] Stellantis has invested R$1.3 billion to develop the new vehicle, involving more than 800 engineers and technicians accumulating 1.2 million of work hours. It went on sale in Brazil on June 20, 2023, with deliveries starting in August.[7]
