A midsize Ram pickup truck, possibly a domestic version of the unibody Ram Rampage, will be built at Stellantis' currently dormant Belvidere, Illinois plant.

Stellantis will move ahead with plans to build a midsize pickup truck—likely for the Ram brand—at its idled assembly plant in Belvidere, Illinois, in 2027.

The fact that one of the big three American automakers has an unfilled midsize pickup truck slot in its lineup is borderline asinine. Although the segment lost some traction last year, midsize trucks are still hot sellers.

Stellantis has reportedly committed itself to reactivating the Belvidere Assembly Plant, with the intent to build midsize pickups. The resulting vehicles will undoubtedly settle years worth of rumors that Ram would eventually offer something to compete with trucks like the Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma.

Ram's been out of the midsize pickup truck game for over a decade, and the market is hot. As of last year, trucks like the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, and Ford Ranger are all new, and now Ram has confirmed that it will reenter the segment in 2027.

Ram will reenter the segment it left in 2011, with the new truck to be built at the plant in Belvidere, Illinois, which has been idle since 2023.

After years of rumors and speculation, Dodge has confirmed that a midsize Ram truck is finally on the way. Here's when you can expect it to arrive.

Stellantis confirmed with Motor1 today that the brand is building a new mid-size truck model. However, the automaker declined to provide further details. The confirmation arrived after Automotive News reported on a memo from Stellantis COO Antonio Filosa that said the automaker would build a new mid-size truck at its Belvidere,

Saving the Belvidere factory from permanent closure was a key part of a new contract with the United Auto Workers in 2023. Stellantis originally agreed to make an electric truck at Belvidere, create a new EV battery facility and expand its parts-distribution facility into a regional megahub.
