Show to the world less than a year ago, the new Ram Rampage unibody pickup now follows in the footsteps of the 1500 Limited, 2500 Laramie, 3500 Laramie, and Classic Laramie with a new Night Edition trim level that was just introduced in Brazil, during the Agrishow.
Building on the 2024 Ram Rampage Laramie, the new Night Edition specification, which features a few exclusive touches, sits alongside other models from the car manufacturer's portfolio at the aforementioned event, which kicked off on April 29 and will end its gates today (May 3).
As its name implies, the dark trim characterizes the new model. It has glossy black on the headlamp frames, front grille, side mirror caps, and window surrounds. The 18-inch wheels feature the same look, and the skid plate, badges, and door handles sport a Granite Crystal finish. The rear bumper and tailpipes follow this theme, rounding out the updates on the outside.
Opening the door of the 2024 Ram Rampage Laramie Night Edition will reveal lots of black leather upholstery. The black leather was wrapped around the seats, door cards, and instrument panels. The model also has a black headliner and black speakers. This upholstery has replaced the Mountain Brown leather normally found on the Rampage Laramie.

As you can expect from such a vehicle, it features lots of gear. The automaker mentions the 12.3-inch infotainment system with smartphone integration, a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster, dual-zone climate control, LED ambient lighting, electrically adjustable front seats, and a Harman Kardon audio system with ten speakers and a subwoofer.
Keyless entry and go start are also included on the Ram Rampage Laramie Night Edition, alongside a generous amount of safety gear, such as lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, front collision control with autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control, and so on.
Ram says the 2024 Rampage Laramie Night Edition is available exclusively with a Hurricane four-banger. The 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline burner pushes out 268 hp (272 ps/200 kW) and 295 pound-foot (400 Nm) of torque. A 9-speed automatic transmission delivers the power to the all-wheel drive system.
Pricing starts at R$277,990, which comes out to $53,915 at the current exchange rate, or RS15,000 ($2,910) more expensive than the regular Ram Rampage Laramie.
Ram pulled the wraps off the new Rampage last year. Production started at the brand's Goiana factory in Pernambuco, Brazil. The model is based on Stellantis' Small Wide 4x4 LWB platform, which mechanically ties it to other vehicles from the automotive giant's portfolio. The Alfa Romeo Tonale and Dodge Hornet duo, the Jeep Commander and the Compass are all based on this construction, which is an evolution of the Small Wide 4x4 architecture used by the Jeep Renegade and its Italian cousin, the Fiat 500X.
