• The Ram 1200 debuted in Mexico as a midsize pickup with a 2.4-liter gasoline powertrain.
  • It shares its bodywork and underpinnings with the Fiat Titano and Peugeot Landtrek pickups.
  • The Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux rival is priced between $444,900-668,900 pesos (US$25k-$37k).

Stellantis’ Mexican buffet is expanding with a new midsize pickup, the 2025 Ram 1200. Don’t be fooled by the name, though—this rig owes more to its Fiat and Peugeot cousins, the Titano and Landtrek, than any true Ram heritage. All three share the same Chinese-built bones, so originality isn’t exactly on the menu as the 1200 is essentially a rebadged offering.

It’s important to distinguish this newcomer from the Ram Rampage, a unibody pickup truck already roaming the streets of other South American markets.

After leaked photos and pricing whetted appetites a few months ago, the Ram 1200 pickup truck has finally landed onto Ram’s Mexican website. This official reveal lifts the veil on the entire lineup’s specifications, offering a detailed look under the hood of what the 1200 brings to the table.

Borrowing its bodywork from its Peugeot and Fiat cousins, the Ram 1200 sets itself apart with a unique grille and a prominent Ram emblem on the tailgate. Iy comes in two configurations: a two-door Regular Cab and a four-door Crew Cab, both offering different bed lengths to suit various needs.

The entry-level Tradesman trim features an unpainted plastic bumper and rides on 16-inch steel wheels. Higher trims like Bighorn and Laramie upgrade to body-colored cladding, 18-inch alloy wheels, additional LED lighting (potentially fog lights or daytime running lights), and chrome-accented grilles.

Ram Mexico

Inside, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system reigns supreme, paired with an analog instrument cluster for a touch of classic feel. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility are present, ensuring your smartphone addiction can seamlessly flow into the cabin. Cloth or synthetic leather upholstery options cater to different preferences.

Safety features include the usual suspects: airbags (quantity depends on how much you value your passengers), parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera for navigating tight squeezes. Driver assistance is a bit thin on the ground, but at least you get trailer stability control, hill climb assist, and lane departure warning to keep things… interesting.

Powertrain options

As with the Fiat Titano and Peugeot Landtrek twins, the Ram 1200 is based on a ladder frame chassis, originating from the Chinese Kaicene F70 and Changan pickups.

Under the hood, a single turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine reigns supreme. It delivers a decent 207 horsepower and 226 lb-ft of torque, but some might yearn for a wider range of powertrain options. The engine can be paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.

While the Tradesman and Bighorn trims keep things simple with rear-wheel drive, the top-of-the-line Laramie boasts a proper 4WD system for tackling tougher terrains.

According to Stellantis, the Ram 1200 boasts a towing capacity of 3,000 kg (6,614 pounds), putting it on par with other midsize pickups in Mexico and around the globe. Payload capacity also falls within the expected range for the class, varying between 1,150 and 1,210 kg (2,535-2,668 pounds) depending on the specific version.

Local media Noticias Autocosmos reports that the 2025 Ram 1200 will be imported from China. Pricing starts from $444,900 pesos (equal to around US$ 25,100 at current exchange rates) for the base Tradesman Regular Cab 4×2 manual, climbing all the way to $668,900 pesos (US$ 37,800) for the top-of-the-line Laramie 4×4 automatic.

The Ram 1200 will face stiff competition in the Mexican market, going head-to-head with established players like the Toyota Hilux, the Chevrolet S10 Max (a rebadged Maxus), and the Nissan Frontier. At the moment, it is not clear if Ram plans on offering the midsize pickup to other markets.
