One of the more exciting developments from Ram is the introduction of the 1500 REV Pickup. At the heart of the Ram 1500 REV is the STLA Frame, setting the stage for unparalleled performance.
With zero emissions and an impressive manufacturer’s estimated total driving range of 350 miles using the standard 168-kilowatt-hour battery pack or up to 500 miles with the optional 229-kilowatt-hour large battery pack, the Ram 1500 REV is ready to push boundaries and do something new. Launching from 0-60 mph in a mere 4.4 seconds, capable of fording up to 24 inches of water, and boasting a max towing capacity of 14,000 pounds, this electric truck is much more than a typical ICE truck.
Moreover, the 1500 REV joins the Ram family with five trims- Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Limited, and the all-new Tungsten trim. Each trim adds a unique touch to the iconic Ram legacy, seamlessly blending style and substance. Ram hasn’t been steadfast in developing electric tech, but now that the brand is on board, the future is greener than ever.
Of course, this fully-equipped pickup won’t hit markets until Q4 of 2024, so we’ve all had time to consider it. Could Ram beat out the Ford F-150 Lightning? What about the Chevy Silverado EV? The GMC Sierra EV Pickup is also an impressive model coming to markets soon. Could we see electric trucks dominate the space? Only time can tell. For now, here’s why the Ram 1500 REV is special.
