IMO, the Rampage looks more "Trucky" than a Santa Cruz, but less than a Maverick.
Correct, but there's a scale.

At the top of the scale, there are real trucks like the F150.

A notch lower, there are smaller trucks like the Colorado and Ranger.

A notch lower, there are SUVs with a bed on the back like the Maverick and possibly the upcoming Rampage.

And then, WAY down at the bottom of the scale, there's a car with a bed on the back called the Santa Cruz that looks like it's already been involved in a serious head-on collision.

Motor Trend just released it is not coming to the US. Fox News quotes RAM official saying SA only but they are looking that it eventually may come to US.
Just read s.America in 2024 and US 2025. Price could be up there 40s with some options. Then theirs the dealers markups could be closer to 50k, if you can get one at all. Just seen a maverick at local dealer 5k markup sold in few days.

We will not see this vehicle here for a very long time, if ever.

The key is to have a long company name so its harder to make a funny acronym! Like Toyota!

You mean "Totally Obnoxious Youth-Oriented Trashy Automobile"?

Or maybe "Torturous On Your Old Tired Ass" (which seems totally appropriate for the Tacoma...)

I don't think ANY brand is safe from these "reverse acronyms"...

Just saw one on the I10 freeway eastbound out of Palm Springs toward Phoenix. Passed us, so I only saw the passenger side and rear. It’s small. Looked like a weirdly proportioned Santa Cruz with a higher beltline and tailgate. It had Canadian plates.
