After formally unveiling its first electrical truck earlier this yr, the Ram 1500 REV, Ram Vehicles is engaged on its second mid-size EV pickup. The automaker confirmed the idea off to sellers this week, and studies counsel it resembles the Ram Revolution idea.
We acquired our first glimpse of Ram’s EV pickup truck in idea type, known as the Ram 1500 Revolution, on the Shopper Electronics Present in January after a number of months of teasing what it will appear like.
The truck featured a number of improvements like removable third-row seating, grand saloon doorways, and powered, automated steps. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares claimed the electrical truck would “outperform all rivals” on towing, vary, payload, and cost time.
After a constructive response to the idea, Ram revealed its first electrical truck set to compete towards the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T, the 2025 Ram 1500 REV, in manufacturing type through the Tremendous Bowl in February. Though it didn’t embrace most of the idea options, Ram’s EV truck generated sufficient consideration that the automaker closed reservations after solely 5 days.
Regardless of the success, Ram is already engaged on its subsequent mission, a mid-size electrical pickup. This week, sellers had been proven an unique sneak peek on the idea.
Ram prepares sellers for its second electrical truck
In accordance with a report from Automotive Information, one supplier says the design is just like the 1500 Revolution idea proven in January, in contrast to the manufacturing model of its first truck.
Seller and former Stellantis supplier council chairman, Randy Rye stated regardless of him being led to consider the mid-size truck could be one thing extra conventional, it “surpassed his expectations” and was “spectacular,” bearing a resemblance to the automaker’s first idea.
Rye instructed Automotive Information, “we’re going again in that recreation,” referring to the mid-size pickup market, saying, “for sure, it seems like a Ram.” He added:
I have a look at among the different midsize choices out there, and I’m not going to choose on the person manufacturers, however I don’t suppose they at all times favor their mom model. The midsize ones have appeared to get away, and so they don’t look the identical.
As Rye tells it, Tavares and different Stellantis firm officers hung out explaining electrical autos and their capabilities, saying the presentation helped staff stroll away with “a special mindset about what EV actually means.”
Earlier studies have urged that Ram’s second electrical pickup is designed to fill the hole left after discontinuing the Dakota in 2011 and that demand for smaller vans is choosing up.
The information comes shortly after Ford revealed plans for a second electrical truck at its BlueOval Metropolis EV mega-campus on Friday (you possibly can learn extra about that right here).
