Is Dodge bringing back the Ramcharger?
The short answer is no—there is no official confirmation that Dodge or Ram plans to revive the Ramcharger.
Historical context
The Ramcharger name dates back to the 1970s, when Dodge produced a full-size, four-wheel-drive SUV built on the D-series/Ram pickup platform. The name became associated with off-road capability and family practicality through the 1974–1993 production span. In recent years, brands have revived or repurposed classic names, but a faithful revival requires an official product program.
What the company has said (or not said)
The official stance from Stellantis, Dodge, and Ram on a Ramcharger revival has not materialized into a formal program or launch date.
- There is no official announcement or confirmation of a Ramcharger from Dodge or Ram as part of their current product roadmap.
- Ram's current strategy emphasizes electrified pickups and SUVs, including the expansion of BEV and hybrid powertrains across the lineup; no Ramcharger prototype or concept has been publicly disclosed in official channels.
- Trademark filings, domain registrations, and media chatter around the Ramcharger name appear in industry chatter, but such filings do not constitute a production program.
- With Dodge and Ram pursuing an electrified performance image, any revival would likely be positioned as an SUV with off-road capability and modern powertrains, possibly leveraging existing platforms.
- As with any revival of a classic name, official confirmation would come from a formal announcement or product reveal; at present, that has not occurred.
In sum, the lack of a formal announcement keeps the Ramcharger revival in the rumor column, though the name remains a touchpoint for fans of Dodge’s rugged SUV era.
Signals to watch
Those following the brands should monitor for official statements, trademark updates, and upcoming auto-show reveals that could signal a Ramcharger revival or confirm that the name will remain a historical badge.
- Official communications from Stellantis regarding future Dodge/Ram SUVs.
- Any new trademark, patent, or domain activity tied to the Ramcharger name.
- Auto-show debuts or concept presentations that reference a new rugged, large SUV under the Ram or Dodge banner.
- Spy shots or leaks that show a vehicle clearly carrying the Ramcharger name or branding.
Absent a formal announcement, enthusiasts should treat these signals as indicative only and rely on concrete statements from the company.
Context: current Ram and Dodge lineup
Ram has been expanding its lineup around the Ram 1500 family and related SUVs, including upcoming electric variants; Dodge has signaled a pivot toward electric muscle and performance. The broader corporate strategy emphasizes electrification, advanced technology, and performance branding rather than reissuing classic names without a clear market strategy.
Summary
At this time, there is no official plan to revive the Ramcharger. The name persists in historical memory and in rumor mills, but until Stellantis/Dodge presents a formal program, the Ramcharger remains a historical badge rather than a confirmed future model.
