What was a rumor has been given substance — Ram will be introducing a new midsize truck in the near future. Around 2022, we should be seeing Ram’s vision for a smaller truck rolling into dealerships. Though not many details about the project are known just yet, it has been confirmed that the truck is in the works.
Here’s what we know about the upcoming midsize Ram truck:
All-New Truck
This all-new midsize Ram truck is so new it doesn’t have a name yet. It’s possible Ram may resurrect a name from similar models that have gone out of production, but it’s just as likely it will be the start of a new era. This truck will be smaller than the heavy and light duty, which is the Ram 1500. In a time when larger and stronger trucks are seeing a rise in popularity, this truck will be a solid option for drivers who don’t need the power and size from the bigger models.
What We Know
We know Ram has made an official announcement that they are following through on their plans to create the unnamed midsize truck around 2022. Right now, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ram’s parent company, is looking for a cost-effective way to produce the new truck. There is currently no Ram model that falls into the midsize truck category, so they will have to start from the beginning to produce it. The last midsized truck FCA produced was 2011’s Dodge Dakota.
What to Expect
FCA CEO Mike Manley recently said in an interview with Automotive News that Ram is striving to fill in the gap their lack of a midsize truck leaves.
“I want that problem solved, frankly, because it’s a clear hole in our portfolio,” Manley said in the interview.
Since the midsize Ram will be smaller than the car company’s other options, we can expect to see a smaller pricetag. In order to lower the costs for customers, the truck will likely be built in their Mexico factories, though that’s not certain just yet.
Ram’s Current Trucks
Though Ram has plans for an all-new midsized truck, we can rest assured that it will maintain its current reliable lineup. Once we get the new midsized worker, it will fill a hole in Ram’s offerings. The light-duty Ram 1500’s sales promise a solid future for the working person’s truck. From there, the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 pickups fulfill the heavy-duty truck needs of America. The specialty Ram Chassis Cab, Ram Promaster City, and Ram Promaster give us the business vehicles we need to keep our cities running smoothly.
With this spread of hard-working and trust-worthy vehicles, we’re excited to see what they do with the smaller truck class.
Keep an eye out for more news about Ram’s plans for their all-new truck. When they release it to the public, you can expect our team at Fremont Motors to be ready to give it a test drive. We can’t wait to see what the future of the truck world will look like.
