It’s not uncommon to see smaller, Fiat-based Ram pickups — like the Strada and Toro-derived and 1000 — roaming Latin American roads. Ram is working on yet another small truck for the region, specifically targeting the Brazilian market. And this one is carrying a lot of hype, if the initial teaser’s any indication.
