About RAM Trucks Ram 1500 REV
RAM Trucks didn't rush to launch its first fully electric pickup, but it came packed with technology and features never seen on other vehicles in its class.
Stellantis knew that pickup lovers were not very fond of electric cars, so it tried to convince them with one that could outperform any other truck in its class. Moreover, it offered them not just a utility vehicle but one that could provide on and off-road performance, comfort, a touch of luxury, and huge versatility.
RAM vehicles looked mean, and the automaker wanted to keep that, and it did. At the front, it placed an illuminated badge that took center stage on the grille. It was flanked by arrow-shaped LED lights and headlights. The 1500 REV front fenders were flared to allow 275/50R22 wheels. Finally, at the back, the car featured as an option a powered tailgate (up and down) adorned by an illuminated red RAM badge.
Inside, depending on the trim level and options, the 1500 REV featured a 12.3" digital instrument cluster, a 14.5-inch touchscreen for the Uconnect 5 infotainment unit, and a 10.25-inch display on the passenger side. In addition, customers could choose a head-up display. But Stellantis also knew that customers used pickups also as recreational vehicles, besides their utilitarian destination, and provided them with V2L capabilities. In the frunk, the vehicle featured a 3.6 kW outlet, while at the back, it was fitted with a 7.2 kW plug to power tools, refrigerators, homes, or charge other BEVs.
