Stellantis is gearing up to expand its pickup truck lineup in South America with the introduction of the new Ram 1200. Now, ahead of its official debut, it appears that leaked photos and details of the truck have surfaced online, revealing its design and pricing specifics in Mexico. The Ram 1200 is a sister model to the Fiat Titano and Peugeot Landtrek midsize trucks, all of which share their ladder frame underpinnings with the Chinese Kaicene F70 and Changan pickups, setting them apart from the smaller unibody Ram Rampage.
While we cannot confirm the authenticity
of these images that were shared to us by Auto Cosmos, they depict the complete
lineup of the Ram 1200, showcasing both single-cab and double-cab variants. The
bodywork seems identical to the Fiat and Peugeot iterations, save for the Ram-specific
grille. Notably, Tradesman trims sport unpainted plastic bumpers, while Bighorn
and Laramie models boast body-colored bumpers adorned with LED DRLs and
chrome-finished grilles.
Although official data regarding the dimensions
of the Ram 1200 is not available, it’s expected to closely resemble the
specifications of the Fiat Titano, which measures 5,331 mm in
length in the double-cab configuration. As such, it’s anticipated to be
comparable in size to popular models like the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger. All
versions of the Ram 1200 will feature a turbocharged 2.4-liter gasoline engine
producing 207 hp and 320 Nm of torque. The
four-cylinder unit is sourced from the Peugeot Landtrek and can be combined
with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Power is directed to
the rear wheels, except for the range-topping Ram 1200 Laramie, which boasts a
4WD system.
According to Auto Cosmos, the Ram 1200
will be imported from China, diverging from the manufacturing location of the
closely related Fiat Titano, which is produced in Uruguay. The entry-level
Tradesman Regular Cab trim is purported to offer a loading capacity of 1,200 kg and a towing capacity of 3,000 kg. Pricing in
Mexico ranges from MX$ 444,900 (US$ 26,729) for the bare-bones Tradesman and
climbs to MX$ 668,900 (US$ 40,206) for the high-spec Laramie. Sales are
expected to start in June, with local distributor Mirador Automotriz having
already shared the leaked photos on social media.
The new Ram 1200 will compete against
popular rivals such as the Toyota Hilux, Chevrolet S10 Max, and Nissan
Frontier. Given its focus on the South American market, similar to other
region-specific models, we anticipate it won’t be available for sale outside of
South America.
