The Dodge Rampage was a concept car created by DaimlerChrysler that shares a name with a previous production vehicle that was marketed in the early 1980s. The Rampage Concept was first introduced at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show. The Rampage is as large as the current production model Dodge Ram and is larger than its 1980s predecessor.

The Rampage uses a 5.7 L Hemi engine with DaimlerChrysler’s Multi-Displacement System; this same engine is used in the Dodge Ram. Like its namesake, the Rampage Concept uses front-wheel drive, unusual for a pickup truck. The design of the Rampage is very modern, but still muscular. The Rampage has double-muscle flared fenders and 22 in aluminum wheels. The Rampage (for being a truck) is very functional since it features the “Stow ‘n Go” feature that all Chrysler minivans feature; this feature is a first for any DaimlerChrysler truck. It is also the first vehicle to feature the Stow ‘n Go feature with a front passenger seat.
