Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

[Belvedere]

Your not going to get close to that in a midsized truck.

Haha...welll depending on the person. Big old Truck drivers would only say that semi are true trucks.

Folks that only drive small cars would think that a midsized truck or even half car/half truck is also big for them.

In this case, I try to stick to the midsized truck....just because it has a payload and towing numbers. I even know that some folks call the 1/2 ton trucks and just large vans.

The pricing is identical to the Ford Maverick pricing in Brazil. It's Mopar Insiders that got this wrong; not Ram.

 

[Dewey]

Why is it jacked up so high in the rear?Looks like a 70’s vehicle with maxed out rear air shocks.

In Brazil, maverick $5k cheaper. Still expensive for a small t"ruck" that is $50k.

Toyota tacoma base price is BRL 208,000 ( $44k)

For one, it's Brazil, not the US, so can't compare to what we pay here

I'm seeing some spread in the reported prices. TFL reports that the Maverick starts at 244,980 BRL, compared to 239,990 BRL for the Rampage, making the Rampage about $2,000 less expense.

Either way, it's a mistake to take these Brazilian prices and assume that Ram is overpriced compared to the competition, or that they'd list it at $50K+ if they sold it in the US.

Still overpriced in any country. I continue to say...if they can't match or beat the tacoma...it's a L for the rampage.

Article states that the rampage has a higher price in the Brazilian market..because of the premium trims.

U.s. market is going to get a watered down trims and package. Not impressed.

Sales will tell. It's a new entrance into the market.

I don't know how well the Maverick sells in Brazil, but the Rampage is competive with its pricing. So if Ram is making a mistake, so is Ford.

Likewise, if Ford Maverick sells well in the U.S. at its price (which it does), then we can reasonably expect the Rampage to sell well, too. And in my biased opinion, the Rampage beats the Maverick in the looks department hands down.

At least with the ram, they have a better shot to Crack the top 3 in full size trucks.

Midsized segment has alot of competition. Don't want to bring in a truck on a flooded market of midsized trucks. There are already 6 really good midsized trucks.

The one thing Ram has going for it is the history of the Dakota. If they can match that with the new option(not the Rampage) then they should sell well. The Rampage is a compact truck, not midsize.

Gotcha...then that's even worse because if it's a compact, they are literally competing for the same business in their own company with fiat and the fiat strada...which is also a compact. The strada...if my googling is accurate owns 50% of the market in Brazil. And they just redesigned it last year. They also have the fiat Toro in South America

The Rampage is a Fiat Toro. Slightly different metal on the same platform. Think Silverado and Sierra.

 

[Belvedere]

Regardless of price, I really like the Rampage. Not really in the market for such a thing, but I like the styling over the Maverick and Santa Cruz.

Id order one in white w black prob not gona have the v8 option like my 2005 had..

That picture is a TRX, not a Dakota. And I feel the Dakota never came to fruition as I haven't heard anymore about it

 

[Darksteel165]

0% chance there will be an v8 on the new Dakota. Can't even get it on a 1500 anymore.
