The electric vehicle (EV) market is evolving fast, and Ram is not staying behind. With the all-new Ram 1500 REV, the company makes a bold entry into the electric pickup truck arena. Blending robust performance with futuristic EV technology, this truck is designed for drivers who need power, towing capacity, and long-range performance—all in one bold package.
Ram has long been known for its rugged, full-size trucks. Now, the Ram 1500 REV joins the race with dual electric motors, delivering an impressive 654 horsepower and up to 620 lb-ft of torque. Built on the all-new STLA Frame platform, this truck doesn’t just meet expectations—it aims to set a new benchmark for electric pickups.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes the Ram 1500 REV such a game-changer.
Dual Electric Motors Deliver Massive Power
The Ram 1500 REV comes with two electric motors, one on each axle, offering all-wheel drive (AWD) capabilities. These motors combine to deliver a thrilling 654 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful electric trucks in its class. With a 0-60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds, it proves that power and speed don’t have to come at the cost of sustainability.
Ram’s engineers have paid attention to the needs of truck enthusiasts who demand performance. Whether you’re towing heavy trailers, off-roading, or simply driving in urban traffic, the REV delivers torque and control where it matters most.
Incredible Towing Capacity
One of the most talked-about features of the Ram 1500 REV is its max towing capacity of 14,000 pounds. That’s a number that competes not just with electric trucks but with some traditional gas-powered models too. It also offers a maximum payload of 2,700 pounds, making it suitable for construction, farm, and recreational hauling needs.
Whether you’re towing a boat, camper, or heavy equipment, the REV is designed to handle the load with ease.
Two Battery Options: Up to 500-Mile Range
Ram understands that range anxiety is a real concern for EV buyers. That’s why the 1500 REV is being offered with two battery options:
- A standard 168 kWh battery, delivering an estimated range of up to 350 miles
- An optional 229 kWh battery, offering a segment-leading 500-mile range
This puts the Ram 1500 REV ahead of key competitors like the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T in terms of pure distance on a single charge. The 800-volt DC fast-charging capability enables drivers to add up to 110 miles of range in just 10 minutes, making long trips less stressful and more manageable.
For those planning road trips, off-grid adventures, or daily work commutes, this level of battery performance is a massive win.
High-Tech Interior and Utility Features
The interior of the Ram 1500 REV feels more like a luxury SUV than a rugged pickup. It features:
- A 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
- A head-up display
- Premium materials and finishes throughout the cabin
It also includes over-the-air updates, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and advanced driver assistance systems, making it not only powerful but incredibly smart.
Practical features like the RamBox cargo management system, a power tailgate, and a frunk (front trunk) also make it more useful than ever. There’s also bi-directional charging, allowing the REV to power tools, appliances, or even your home in an emergency.
Built on STLA Frame Platform
The Ram 1500 REV rides on Stellantis’ new STLA Frame platform, specifically designed for full-size electric trucks. This high-strength frame allows for better battery integration and structural rigidity. It also improves aerodynamics, helping the REV achieve more range and better performance across terrains.
The platform also supports four-wheel steering, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces and off-road trails. With an adjustable air suspension, the REV can adapt to different driving conditions, from highways to rugged terrain.
Pricing and Availability
While the official pricing hasn’t been released yet, it’s expected to start around $58,000 for the base model and go beyond $80,000 for the top trims with the extended-range battery. Pre-orders have begun, and deliveries are anticipated to start in late 2024.
Ram will offer several trims, including the Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Limited, and Tungsten—each with unique features catering to different users from work fleets to luxury buyers.
Competing in a Hot Market
The electric truck segment is growing fast, with strong competition from Ford’s F-150 Lightning, Chevrolet Silverado EV, and Tesla Cybertruck. But the Ram 1500 REV seems ready to hold its ground with superior towing capacity, a luxury-grade interior, and unmatched driving range.
By staying true to its brand legacy while embracing innovation, Ram is ensuring that the 1500 REV is more than just an electric truck—it’s a statement of the future.
Final Thoughts
The Ram 1500 REV is not just Ram’s first electric truck—it’s a signal that the future of trucks is not only powerful and capable but also sustainable. With incredible towing, a massive driving range, and tech features that appeal to both traditional truck lovers and modern EV enthusiasts, the REV could become a top contender in the growing electric truck race.
This bold entry might just shift what people expect from a pickup truck.
