Gabriel Henrique spotted the Ram 1200 in Pernambuco, wearing a very thin disguise which might or might not include padded fenders and a massive, oversized grille. He published the photos on the Pernambuco Exóticos channel, where they were picked up by Notícias Automotivas.
Notícias Automotivas wrote that this unibody vehicle will be more than 5 meters long and positioned against the Ford Maverick. They believed that the Jeep Compass-based vehicle would be made in Toluca, Mexico, for the United States, Canada, Mexico, and possibly South America. It will be powered by the 2.0 turbo engine and ZF nine-speed automatic, with optional all wheel drive. They also expected a plug-in hybrid to go up against Hyundai’s Santa Cruz. For Mexico and South America, the site expected to see a diesel.
