■ The Name: Ramcharger Returns


Stellantis has not yet announced a final official name, but multiple reports from reliable sources indicate the vehicle will carry the "Ramcharger" name — a nameplate Ram previously used in the 1980s for a short-wheelbase SUV rivaling the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, then later proposed as a name for the range-extended electric Ram 1500 before that model was renamed REV. The name's third return reflects Ram's serious intent to establish an independent identity for this vehicle.
■ Engines: What's Confirmed vs. What's Pure Speculation
Multiple reliable sources point to two primary powertrain options:
● A 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six — the expected primary option
● A Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) hybrid system — combining an electric motor with a gas engine for extended range
Important accuracy note: some early media reports have mentioned the possibility of a HEMI V8 engine, or even a high-performance version producing up to 700 horsepower (in an SRT-like direction). This has not been officially confirmed by Stellantis as of this report's writing, and remains unconfirmed media speculation — included here with clear labeling of the distinction from officially confirmed information.

■ Who Will the Ramcharger Compete Against?
The Ramcharger will go head-to-head with the giants of the American market: the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon, the Ford Expedition and Expedition Max, plus the Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada. It's expected to position itself as a relatively higher-value practical option compared to its luxury sibling the Jeep Grand Wagoneer — following the same logic by which the Chevrolet Tahoe positions itself as the more accessible twin of the Cadillac Escalade.
■ Expected Price
No official price has been announced, but industry estimates based on the vehicle's size and positioning suggest a starting point of around $65,000 (roughly SAR 243,750 at approximate exchange rates), potentially exceeding $90,000 (roughly SAR 337,500) for top luxury trims. These are estimates only, not official prices.

■ When and Where Will It Launch?
Production will begin at the Warren plant in Michigan during 2028, with North America as the primary target market. Stellantis has not announced any plan for the vehicle to reach Middle Eastern or Saudi markets as of this report's writing — and given the distant timeline (more than two years out), it's premature to predict Saudi market details with any accuracy.

■ FAQ
Can the Ramcharger be purchased now?
No. The vehicle won't enter production before 2028, and no arrival date for Saudi Arabia or the Middle East has been announced.
Is the name "Ramcharger" officially confirmed?
No, Stellantis hasn't officially confirmed it yet, but it's the most widely reported name in reliable industry coverage, based on its previous use by Ram.
Will it come with a V8 engine?
Unconfirmed. The confirmed engines from reliable sources are the 3.0L Hurricane turbo and a range-extended hybrid system. Any talk of a HEMI V8 or a 700-horsepower performance version remains unconfirmed speculation at this time.
How much will it cost?
There's no official price. Preliminary industry estimates suggest a range starting around $65,000 and extending beyond $90,000 for top trims — estimates only.
■ Conclusion
Ram's entry into the full-size SUV class is a genuinely historic step for a brand that spent decades without a competitor in this segment despite its strong standing in the truck market. But honesty requires clarifying: there's no 100% confirmed final name, no fully confirmed engines, no official price, and no arrival date for any market outside North America — and the launch itself is still more than two years away. For anyone who wants a genuine body-on-frame full-size SUV today, the alternatives are already available at AlRomaih Cars.
