Overview

• Ram publicly unveiled the Dakota Nightfall concept in São Paulo, reviving the Dakota name for its South American midsize segment.
• Stellantis confirmed the production model will be built at its Córdoba, Argentina plant in 2026 and sold across Latin America.
• The concept leverages a Changan F70 ladder-frame chassis with a 2.2 L turbodiesel engine, eight-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel-drive system.
• Ram of North America clarified that the Nightfall concept is not the preview of its separately developed U.S. midsize pickup slated for Belvidere, Illinois around 2027.
• Aggressive styling features—full-width LED lighting, Nightfall badging and beadlock wheels—underline its premium positioning above the unibody Rampage and constrain its appeal outside South America.
