Ram has opened European orders for the Ram Rampage, with first deliveries due in February 2027 through official importer KW Auto. The Rebel 2.2 turbodiesel targets load carrying, while the R/T 2.0 turbo gasoline chases acceleration. Ram's announcement supplies no U.S. launch date or U.S. MSRP.
Rebel vs. R/T: The Numbers That Matter
Both trims pair a nine-speed automatic with on-demand 4x4, 4WD Low mode and hill-descent control. The Rebel develops peak torque at half the R/T's engine speed, which should help the diesel move heavy loads without chasing revs.
| Specification | Rampage Rebel | Rampage R/T |
|---|---|---|
| Engine displacement | 2,184 cc turbodiesel | 1,995 cc turbo gasoline |
| Power, U.S. hp equivalent | 197 hp (200 metric CV) | 268 hp (272 metric CV) |
| Peak torque | 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) at 1,500 rpm | 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) at 3,000 rpm |
| Maximum payload | 2,238 lb (1,015 kg) | 1,653 lb (750 kg) |
| Wheels and tires | 17-inch; 235/65 R17 all-terrain | 19-inch; 235/55 R19 |
| Claimed 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) | Ram does not state | 6.9 seconds |
The Italian release quotes metric horsepower; the table converts those ratings for American readers. The R/T reaches 137 mph (220 km/h) and adds a sport exhaust alongside suspension that sits 0.39 inch (10 mm) lower.
By comparison, the Ram Rampage Rebel carries 35.3% more payload and generates 12.5% more peak torque. That makes it the stronger load-hauling choice on paper.
Compact Dimensions, Real Cargo Space
Rampage combines unibody construction with independent MacPherson front suspension and a multilink rear layout. Independent suspension lets each wheel respond separately to bumps, supporting Ram's focus on daily comfort; a road test must establish how well the tuning works.
| Dimension or capacity | U.S. units | Metric units |
|---|---|---|
| Overall length | 198.0 inches | 5,028 mm |
| Published body width | 74.3 inches | 1,886 mm |
| Wheelbase | 117.9 inches | 2,994 mm |
| Cargo-bed length | 57.1 inches | 1,450 mm |
| Bed width between wheel arches | 41.5 inches | 1,055 mm |
| Cargo-bed volume | 34.6 cubic feet | 980 liters |
Pro-Tip: Which Rampage Should You Choose?
- Pick the Rebel when tools, passengers and outdoor equipment dominate your payload budget.
- Consider the Ram Rampage R/T when acceleration matters more than maximum carrying capacity.
- Verify towing paperwork: Technical sheet lists just 882 pounds (400 kg) of maximum trailer weight. Confirm the current approved rating before planning trailer trips.
Cabin Technology and European Pricing
In addition, Rampage offers a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster, leather seating and Harman Kardon audio. Adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance and automatic emergency braking support the driver; Level 2 assistance still requires driver supervision.
Pricing needs a written dealer quote. Stellantis advertise a starting equivalent of about $48,630 before taxes. These figures reflect European prices, not U.S. MSRPs. @ KW Auto.
