This large SUV will go into production in 2028 and could revive the Ramcharger name.
Earlier this month, Stellantis announced plans to build an all-new large SUV at the Warren Truck Plant. The company didn’t reveal much about the model, but did disclose that it would be offered with both an internal combustion engine and a range-extended powertrain.
Production is slated to begin in 2028, and it seemed like it would be the next-generation Jeep Grand Wagoneer or a twin of that model. Now it appears the latter scenario was correct as Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa has confirmed that a large Ram SUV is coming soon.
Speaking during the company’s third-quarter shipments and revenue call, Filosa discussed their $13 billion investment in the United States. While he mostly reiterated what we already knew, the executive said that Ram’s year-over-year sales have increased by 26% and this new investment will fuel continued growth.
As Filosa explained, “We are bringing a much more comprehensive product range.” This includes a return to the mid-size truck and large SUV segments by 2028. The former is the much-anticipated successor to the Dakota, while the latter could be a proper Ramcharger, now that the name is free.
If that wasn’t exciting enough, Filosa revealed that “Ram will further showcase its trademark passion with two new SRT performance products.” These will be introduced in the coming months, and one will likely be a successor to the TRX.
Previous reports suggested that this truck could go into production early next year and would likely feature a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine with at least 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) and 702 hp (523 kW / 712 PS) of torque. However, if Ram wants to beat the F-150 Raptor R, they’ll need to offer more than 720 hp (537 kW / 730 PS).
The second SRT variant is more mysterious, but Philosa mentioned a “completely different value proposition.” This suggests that the second model could be significantly more affordable than the TRX.
We can envision several scenarios, including the Ram 1500 RHO becoming an SRT variant. It’s also possible that the company is developing a dedicated street truck, similar to the Dude concept, which was showcased at SEMA.
