Is there a Fiat Strada badged as a RAM?

I was on the freeway the other day and saw what I think is a FIAT Strada badged as a RAM. It had out of state plates, possibly out of country.

Does anyone know anything about this? It was a strange sight.

Yes. Not for the US though.

While Ram has yet to announce a smaller pickup for the U.S., the brand is moving forward with a new generation of its 700 pickup, which it sells in Mexico.

I had no idea. I'm familiar with Fiat Stradas, but I didn't know they were badging them as RAMs in North America. I can see the use case of these in Mexico/Brazil, not sure if it will fit in the US. But hey, I was wrong about the Ridgeline too.

I think they could sell well here. Seems like small pickups are overdue for a return. Too bad I'm pretty sure it was never engineered for our crash standards. Maybe the next generation? Gonna have to wait and see what the FCA/PSA union brings.
