Unveiling the All-Electric Ram 1500 REV: Redefining Truck Performance

The automotive world is witnessing a paradigm shift, and leading the charge is the all-new Ram 1500 REV. This groundbreaking electric pickup truck isn’t just an eco-conscious alternative; it’s a bold statement of uncompromised capability, power, and performance, all while delivering exceptional efficiency. For drivers who demand the best of both worlds – rugged dependability and cutting-edge technology – the Ram 1500 REV emerges as the definitive choice.

The 2025 Ram 1500 REV is engineered to deliver a new echelon of performance thanks to its dual 250-kilowatt electric drive modules (EDMs). These sophisticated units seamlessly integrate the motor, gearbox, and inverter, providing robust all-wheel-drive functionality. Optimizing efficiency is a key design principle, with the front axle EDM featuring an automatic wheel-end disconnect. This innovative system allows the front wheels to spin freely under specific conditions, reducing energy consumption and maximizing driving range. Complementing the front EDM, a 250-kilowatt EDM is positioned on the rear axle, with an available electronic-locking rear differential for enhanced traction and control in demanding situations.

Powering this impressive performance are advanced battery pack options designed to conquer both daily commutes and long-haul journeys. The standard 168 kilowatt-hour battery pack targets an impressive range of up to 350 miles, ensuring ample capability for most drivers. For those seeking unparalleled range, the optional 229 kilowatt-hour large battery pack extends the targeted range to an unsurpassed 500 miles. Addressing the need for rapid recharging, both battery packs boast 800-volt DC fast charging capability at up to 350 kW. This allows drivers to add up to 110 miles of range in a mere 10 minutes, providing a swift and convenient solution to keep you on the move. Beyond conventional charging, the Ram 1500 REV introduces game-changing bi-directional charging capabilities, offering vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-home, and vehicle-to-grid functionality. Imagine powering your home during a power outage, running equipment at a tailgate party, or providing electricity at a campsite or job site – the Ram 1500 REV is a mobile power source ready for any situation. Furthermore, integrated power panels enhance utility, with an on-board power panel in the bed delivering up to 7.2 kW and an available panel in the frunk providing up to 3.6 kW.

Underpinning the Ram 1500 REV’s exceptional capabilities is the all-new STLA Frame. This body-on-frame design is purpose-built for full-size electric vehicles, utilizing advanced high-strength steel to achieve a lightweight yet incredibly stiff and durable structure. The STLA Frame is strategically widened in the central section to efficiently house the battery pack while maintaining robust protection from the frame rails. Aerodynamic efficiency is further enhanced by a full-length aero belly pan, contributing to the truck’s segment-leading slipperiness with an estimated 0.340 coefficient of drag.

Drivers of the Ram 1500 REV will experience class-leading ride and handling characteristics, thanks to a multi-link independent rear suspension. Standard on the Ram 1500 REV is a segment-exclusive active-level four-corner air suspension system with adaptive damping. This sophisticated system allows for five distinct modes: entry/exit, aero, normal, off-road 1, and off-road 2, adapting ride height and suspension firmness to optimize comfort and capability across diverse terrains. Complementing the advanced suspension are all-new 22-by-9-inch aluminum wheels paired with 275/50R22 Pirelli Scorpion all-season tires. This combination strikes an ideal balance between wear resistance and reduced road noise, ensuring a refined and comfortable driving experience.

The Ram 1500 REV integrates cutting-edge autonomous vehicle technologies, including Hands-free Active Driving Assist and ParkSense Automated Parking System. Active Driving Assist provides both hands-on-wheel/eyes-on-road and hands-free/eyes-on-road automated driving capabilities, utilizing lane centering with adaptive cruise control. This advanced system leverages a suite of sensors, including radars and cameras, to determine suitable roads for automated driving, enhancing safety and convenience on compatible roadways.
