Stellantis confirms new mid-size Ram pickup with production planned for 2027 (Instagram @ramtrucks)
Stellantis has officially confirmed that it is developing a new mid-size pickup for the Ram brand, with production expected to begin in 2027 at the Belvidere, Illinois plant.
The announcement followed a memo from the company’s COO, Antonio Filosa, and a statement from the UAW union, which also revealed that the plant, closed in 2023, will be reopened for this project. Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis emphasized the desire to offer a more affordable option in the pickup truck market as current model prices continue to rise.
With the discontinuation of the Ram 1500 Classic, the new mid-size pickup will fill the gap between smaller models and the brand’s larger trucks.
Additionally, Stellantis has committed to producing the next generation Dodge Durango in Detroit and investing in Jeep facilities in Ohio, resolving disputes with the UAW union.
The confirmation of the new model highlights the company’s efforts to expand its vehicle lineup and meet the growing demand for more compact and affordable pickups.
