Overview
- Stellantis confirmed the midsize Ram will be assembled at the Toledo Assembly Complex alongside the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator.
- Production is now reported to begin in 2028, updating earlier guidance that pointed to 2027.
- The program has shifted from the previously planned Belvidere, Illinois site, which is set to be re-opened for two new Jeep models.
- The truck is expected to use a body-on-frame layout likely shared with Wrangler/Gladiator, and its model name remains unconfirmed despite widespread Dakota speculation.
- The Toledo plan includes nearly $400 million in investment and could add more than 900 jobs, and Stellantis also confirmed a new U.S.-built four-cylinder engine while specific powertrains for the truck have not been detailed.
