With the truck’s biggest rivals already out of the gate and the Tesla Cybertruck headed there, Ram is determined to beat the competition by releasing Pickup Driver’s electric pickup. Ever since the Ram 1500 REV whispered in the dark and glowed white, it promised best-in-class numbers. The 654 hp 2025 1500 REV offers a payload of 2,700 lbs (1,225 kg) and a payload capacity of 14,000 lbs (6,350 kg), while offering 500 miles (805 km) range. ) towing. Ram is clearly desperate to become the leader in electric trucks, leaving him 2nd and 3rd in ICE’s past annual sales.
When news of the 1500 REV range extender option surfaced earlier this year, it seemed reasonable to assume that the aforementioned 500-mile range was the cumulative range of the battery and combustion engine generator. After all, 500 miles is battery power only, with an optional large 229 kWh battery pack.
Those who don’t want to pony up all those kilowatt hours can enjoy an estimated 350 miles (563 km) on the standard 168 kWh pack, potentially exceeding the Ford F-150’s EPA official 320 miles (515 km). There is a nature. ) estimated range. Either way, just plug it into a 350W 800V super fast charger and you’ll be up and running 110 miles (177 km) in about 10 minutes.

Ram will be detailing the 1500 REV XR (probably “Xtended Range”) in the future. 500 miles is plenty of range for a typical point-to-point commute, but the “class-breaking” internal-combustion-boosted range cuts battery life significantly, especially for those looking to tow heavy loads. Should be worth it – range only.
We’ll see how Ram’s estimates go once the 1500 REV passes official EPA testing ahead of its 2024 market launch, but there’s no question that Ram is taking its market-leading promise seriously. is not. Other estimates include the aforementioned 2,700 lb payload and 14,000 lb towing target, 620 lb ft (841 Nm) of torque along with 654 hp (481 kW), and 0-60 mph (96.5 km/h). will be ) as low as 4.4 seconds.

The 1500 REV has electric AWD with 335 hp (250 kW) electric drives front and rear. Each e-drive unit contains a motor, gearbox and inverter, and the front axle module comes with an automatic wheel end disconnect that provides the truck with more efficient rear wheel drive capability in the right conditions. I’m here. The rear drive module includes an option for an electronic locking differential for improved traction in slippery conditions.
The REV’s standard active leveling four-corner air suspension with adaptive damping is both road and off-road capable and has five settings (Entry/Exit, Aero, Normal, Off-Road 1, Off-Road 2) . The suspension is the exact height that lifts the body of the truck with 275/50R22 Pirelli Scorpion all-season tires, but the fact that there are two separate off-road settings makes his 4-wheel motorized on nearly unnavigable terrain. A good sign for those who want to. The track promises him a full river crossing of 2 feet (61 cm).
Ram also thinks of the 1500 REV as a rolling charging station with bi-directional charging capability at home or on the go. A 7.2 kW power panel on the bed combined with a 3.6 kW panel on the flank provides the ability to power external devices, from off-grid charging other Stellantis vehicles, to powering homes during power outages, to running camp. Offers. field or tailgate equipment. Vehicle-to-grid charging promises the possibility of optimizing the timing of optimal electricity tariffs.

All these features make the 1500 REV the most technologically advanced truck in Ram’s history. Drivers can access information from the heads-up display and the most advanced Uconnect infotainment system to date, easily connecting to the available 12-inch or 14.5-inch tablet-style center display.
Meanwhile, passengers can avoid driver distraction via a 10.3-inch touchscreen embedded in the dashboard. Passenger display can access mobile his device content such as web browsing and apps via HDMI connection, display ride information in ‘co-pilot’ mode or display external camera view of him can.

The 1500 REV will be equipped with advanced driver assistance such as hands-free active driving assist and automatic parking. A 23-speaker Klipsch “Ultra Premium” audio system helps bring audio to the same level as other tech suites.
Ram plans to launch the 2025 1500 REV next year in five trims: Trademan, Bighorn/Lone Star, Laramie, Limited and all-new Tungsten. The truck is currently on display at the 2023 New York International Auto Show, which opens to the press on Wednesday and opens to the public on Friday.
