  • Ram 1500 REV

    Today at the New York International Auto Show, Ram Truck unveiled the 2025 Ram 1500 REV – a brand-new, all-electric light-duty pickup truck. It is the first of its kind from Ram Truck. In the years to come, Ram will offer electrified options throughout its entire lineup. These solutions will feature cutting-edge advanced technology and will be disruptive in the market.

    “The all-electric Ram 1500 REV is a monumental milestone on our continued journey to offer the industry’s best electrified solutions and further fortifies our award-winning lineup,” said Mike Koval Jr., Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “We believe in bringing the right range of powertrain solutions to our customers and will continue to redefine the pickup truck segment. Our all-new Ram 1500 REV pushes past the competition in areas customers care about most, including range, towing, payload and charge time.”

    Customers can choose between two all-electric options with the 2025 Ram 1500 REV. The first option is a standard 168-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack that can cover up to 350 miles on a single charge. The second option is a large 229-kWh battery pack that can cover an impressive 500 miles on a single charge. With 800-volt DC fast charging, both options can add up to 110 miles of range in just 10 minutes, making charging quick and convenient for customers.

    The Ram 1500 REV has the ability to charge other Stellantis battery-electric vehicles through vehicle-to-vehicle charging, as well as provide power back to the grid through vehicle-to-grid bi-directional charging. This allows for flexibility in charging options. The truck can also send power to a home during a storm, power a tailgate party, or provide power at a camp or jobsite. There is an onboard power panel in the truck bed that can provide up to 7.2 kW of power, and an available onboard power panel in the front trunk (frunk) that can provide up to 3.6 kW.

    The 2025 Ram 1500 REV has impressive performance numbers, such as a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds, 654 horsepower, and 620 lb.-ft. of torque. It also has a maximum payload capacity of 2,700 pounds, can ford up to 24 inches of water, and can tow up to 14,000 pounds.

    Ram is dedicated to being a leader in powertrain innovation and meeting the demands of truck buyers with their lineup of vehicles. They currently offer the most fuel-efficient 4x4s and the fastest, most powerful pickup trucks straight from the factory.

    The 2025 Ram 1500 REV comes in five trims: Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Limited, and a new Tungsten trim.

    The Ram 1500 REV is a significant contribution to Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. This plan aims to provide innovative, clean, safe, and affordable mobility solutions, and Stellantis is investing more than €30 billion in electrification and software to deliver battery-electric vehicles that meet customer demands by 2025.

    Additionally, the Ram 1500 REV XR with an even greater range than the original model will be introduced after the all-electric Ram 1500 REV.

    No-compromise electrified benchmark with segment-leading capability, power, performance and efficiency

    The Ram 1500 REV offers consumers exceptional performance with dual 250-kilowatt electric drive modules that provide all-wheel-drive capability. These modules combine the motor, gearbox, and inverter.

    The 2025 Ram 1500 REV has one module located on the front axle with an automatic wheel-end disconnect feature that allows the front wheels to rotate freely in specific situations to increase efficiency. There is also a 250-kW module positioned on the rear axle, which comes with an electronic-locking rear differential.

    The standard battery pack of the Ram 1500 REV, which has a capacity of 168-kWh, has a target range of up to 350 miles, while the optional 229-kWh large battery pack has a target range of up to an exceptional 500 miles. Both battery packs can provide an additional 110 miles of range in just 10 minutes of 800-volt DC fast charging, with a maximum charging rate of 350 kW, offering a swift and convenient recharging solution.

    The Ram 1500 REV can make lives easier by providing vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-home, and vehicle-to-grid bi-directional charging that can power a home during a storm, run tailgate parties or provide energy at campsites or job sites. The truck also has an onboard power panel in the bed that can provide up to 7.2 kW of power, while the available onboard power panel in the front trunk, known as the “frunk,” can offer up to 3.6 kW.

    The 2025 Ram 1500 REV is constructed on the all-new STLA Frame, which is purposely created for full-size electric vehicles with a body-on-frame design. The frame is made of lightweight but strong advanced materials to enhance stiffness and durability. It has a wider middle to incorporate the battery pack with the frame rails’ protection, and a full-length aero belly pan contributes to a .340 coefficient of drag, making it the most aerodynamic truck in its segment.

    The Ram 1500 REV also boasts of excellent ride and handling with its multi-link independent rear suspension and segment-exclusive active-level, four-corner air suspension with adaptive damping. The adjustable air suspension has five modes to choose from: entry/exit, aero, normal, off-road 1, and off-road 2. Its 22-by-9-inch aluminum wheels with 275/50R22 Pirelli Scorpion all-season tires provide unmatched wear resistance and reduced road noise.

    The Ram 1500 REV offers Hands-free Active Driving Assist and ParkSense Automated Parking System for autonomous driving.

  • New Ram 1500 earns its first TOP SAFETY PICK PLUS award by IIHS!

    2020-Ram-1500-910Ram 1500 Crew Cab full-size pickup has been named a Top Safety Pick Plus for 2019 – the highest rating given by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

    The rating applies for 2020 Ram 1500 lineup and 2019 trucks produced after May this year and when equipped with adaptive LED projector headlamps and Ram’s own Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system and Forward Collision Mitigation.

    New Ram 1500 also features a patented approach to frame-rail construction that features spayed front frame-rails for better crash energy management in certain types for frontal collisions.

    For all six crashworthiness tests conducted by the IIHS, three simulate frontal impacts and for all of these Ram 1500 recorded “good” results in each. For the remaining three exams, the vehicle also did well. These are side impact, rear impact, and a rollover.

    What is also unique for the 1500 lineup, is that it uses an Integrated Radar Camera Module, which accommodates Forward Collision Mitigation. The IRCM consolidates radar and camera components behind the vehicle’s rearview mirror, which simplifies their interface but also keeps important technology out of harm’s way.

    Meanwhile, Forward Collision Mitigation in Ram 1500 earned a “superior” rating from IIHS. The optional feature ensures sensor-fusion technology, which blends camera capability with radar detection in order to determine when an impact is imminent. Also, the system warns the driver to take action in order to avoid collision. If the driver fails to act on time, the system may activate the vehicle’s brakes if a risk of collision occurs.

    Top Safety Pick Plus also is given when the vehicle is equipped with LED projector headlamps that have high-beam assist. The technology was improved this May, earning the highest IIHS rating of “good”.
