New Ram SUV Imagined – Could This Replace The Grand Wagoneer?

The idea of a Ram sport utility vehicle has been floating around for years, but now it finally feels real. With Ram confirming that its first sport utility vehicle is in development, it is natural to start imagining what such a model could look and feel like. Think of it as a full size family hauler with the heart and attitude of a Ram 1500 pickup truck, designed for people who want serious utility without giving up comfort or presence on the road.

The most likely direction is a body on frame sport utility vehicle that borrows heavily from the Ram 1500 architecture. Visually, it makes sense to draw inspiration from the Ram 1500 Revolution battery electric vehicle concept unveiled in 2023. Picture a bold silhouette with a contrasting black roof, large glass surfaces that make the cabin feel airy, and muscular plastic cladding around the lower body. At the rear, a wide light bar and modern taillights give it a high tech look, while the front end stays a bit more traditional with a strong trapezoidal grille and slim horizontal headlights. A full width light strip connecting the headlights could echo the personality of the Dodge Durango, giving the new sport utility vehicle a recognizable family face.

With a long wheelbase and generous overall length, this Ram sport utility vehicle would be aimed directly at heavy hitters like the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition Max, and its corporate cousin, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. That kind of footprint means three row seating, serious cargo space, and towing numbers that appeal to families who haul boats, trailers, and weekend toys.

Under the skin, Ram is expected to offer both traditional internal combustion engines and a plug in hybrid range extended electric version. That mix would allow buyers to choose between familiar V6 or V8 power and a more efficient electrified setup. Production is planned for the Stellantis plant in Warren, Michigan, the same facility that currently builds the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. As the lineup evolves, the upcoming Ram sport utility vehicle could eventually take over that spot on the assembly line.

If everything stays on track, the first Ram sport utility vehicle should debut closer to 2028. Until then, it is a fun game to imagine how Ram will blend pickup toughness, modern technology, and real world family usability in one big, confident package.
