Ram Rampage Off to Rip-Roaring Start in Brazil

The Ram Rampage, essentially a miniaturized version of the Ram 1500, has just launched in Brazil, and the early signs point to a monster success. The first batch of 500 units set for production sold out in just 28 minutes once the online order books opened. 

Ram responded by making a further 1,100 units available to buyers. All of those have now also been snapped up. Deliveries of the model will begin in August. 

Those wanting a Ram Rampage for their very own needed to pay a deposit of around $200 USD. Those buyers quickest on the draw are also getting the Elite options package that adds three optional items at no extra cost. Those include a high-end Harman Kardon audio system, a passenger seat with 12-way power adjustment and LED interior mood lighting. The option is normally priced at $1,250 USD. 

The Brazilian Ram Rampage

In Brazil, the Rebel and Laramie versions are equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine, good for 170 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. The other engine offered is a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder delivering 272 hp and 295 lb-ft. The top-of-the-range R/T variant is only available with the gasoline engine. All models are equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
