“The off‑road segment has been growing for a while now and Ram has been leading that charge with Warlock, Rebel, RHO and TRX,” Tim Kuniskis, head of the American Stellantis brands, said in a news release.
“BackCountry is another option from Ram for customers looking to get into this growing part of the market without breaking the bank.”
