RAM SUV

Looks like there will be a SUV format of the RAM truck in the works. Stellantis is investing a bunch of money into the Warren Truck assembly plant.

I'd consider it. If it doesn't have e torque or a hurricane.

Hopefully it'll get a 6.4

They could call it the Ramcharger.

Thay can call it a Ramcharger...but I think we all know it will fall woefully short...

Different sheet metal on the grand wagoner.

Bring back the ECODiesel!

Hope they don't price it like an Escalade, or G-Wagen...

I don't get it. Why compete with themselves. They already have the durango and a bunch of suv jeeps. The whole point of ram splitting off from dodge is to be exclusively pickups... To be fair though, they do have the promaster which is not a pickup.

I've never heard that before. Is this something RAM published?

They do need a competitive product in the full-sized SUV market to challenge Tahoes, Suburbans, and Expeditions. They offered the Grand Wagoneer to compete with Escalades and Navigators.

Wasn't the whole point of the 2009 bankruptcy split of Ram from Dodge to make Ram a strictly truck brand? WTH would they go back and blend it again?

 

[crash68]

Dodge and Ram was split by Chrysler to separate the performance oriented Dodge cars and SUVs from RAM trucks and commercial vehicles.
Ford and GM are the two main manufacturers of full sized SUVs, and they sell a bunch of them. Why wouldn't Ram want to get in that market.

This thing sounds like it's body-on-frame, truck based. SUVs grew out of trucks, for the most part. GMC started out as trucks only, and sells SUVs. If they start selling a unibody Rampage mini-pickup will we all come unglued? LOL

No e-torque please

Ram split from dodge so it could be sold off when Daimler Benz was ready to cut Chrysler loose.

What’s wrong with the Durango? My wife loves hers. Just do updates to that.

Durango is a midsize SUV
Looks like they are going for the fullsize market

I wish I had never sold my 86 Ramcharger Prospector.

 

[Fatbob Frank]

My '90 5.9L EFI was awesome too...
Shoulda kept it...

Rumor has it that it's going to sit on the power wagon frame.

That’s interesting as the grand wagoneer uses a modified ram 1500 frame.
