The first units of the Ram Dakota begin to hit the Brazilian streets this Wednesday (11). The brand officially started delivering the pickups to customers who participated in the pre-reservation, marking the definitive arrival of the model in the disputed segment of medium pickup trucks. For those who did not guarantee the vehicle in advance, the dealership network already offers units for test-drive throughout the country.

Available in Laramie and Warlock versions, Dakota seeks to balance the characteristic luxury of Ram with the robustness required for off-road. While the Laramie focuses on a “lifestyle” and technological profile, the Warlock takes a more aggressive stance, with raised suspension and mixed-use tires, aimed specifically at the off-road audience.

Under the hood, both configurations share the 2.2 turbodiesel engine, capable of delivering 200 hp of power and 45,9 kgfm of torque. The set is managed by an eight-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 traction with reduced. Performance is complemented by active safety features, such as adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning, items that reinforce the model’s technological package.

Inside, the highlight is the 12.3″ multimedia center and the configurable 7″ digital panel. The on-board experience is enhanced by premium material trim and electric adjustments in the front seats. In addition, Ram bets on customization via the Mopar line, offering accessories such as an electric top, retractable running boards and a trailer hitch with a capacity of 3.5 tons.

To consolidate the after-sales strategy, the pickup arrives with a five-year full warranty. There is also the Ram FlexCare program, which allows the advance contracting of service packages with fixed prices, facilitating the owner’s financial planning. With these deliveries, Ram expects to expand its share in the domestic market, where medium pickup trucks continue to rise strongly.
