Overview

  • Production is slated for 2027 at Stellantis’ Belvidere, Illinois plant under a labor agreement.
  • The truck will slot below the Ram 1500 and target competitors including the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and Chevrolet Colorado.
  • Industry reporting indicates a body-on-frame architecture and crew-cab configuration, though final specifications are not yet announced.
  • The U.S. nameplate is undecided as the Dakota badge is being used on a separate Latin American model unrelated to the planned U.S. truck.
  • Powertrains and global or right-hand-drive plans remain under consideration, with reports pointing to petrol-focused options and stated interest from Ram Trucks Australia.
