There's a void in the midsize truck segment found in Auburn Hills, Michigan these dats. Since the departure of Dodge's Dakota, the FCA-turned-Stellantis chunk of the medium pickup category has been empty, but a leaked memo obtained by Crain’s Chicago Business makes clear that's set to change soon.

Ram will reenter the segment it left in 2011, with the new truck to be built at the plant in Belvidere, Illinois, which has been idle since 2023.
