Designed to deliver exceptional power, efficiency, and versatility, this innovative extended-range electric truck (EREV) is expected to hit the market in the second half of 2025, ahead of the fully electric Ram Rev.
Built with cutting-edge technology and engineered for real-world performance, the Ramcharger is redefining what a half-ton truck can do here at Landmark Dodge of Morrow.
Heavy-Duty Performance in a Half-Ton Package
The 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger boasts impressive hauling and towing capabilities. With a payload rating of 2,625 pounds, it surpasses many traditional half-ton trucks. Thanks to its advanced five-link independent rear suspension, reinforced hubs, and ultra-high-strength forged suspension links, this truck is engineered for heavy loads with confidence. The maximum towing capacity reaches 14,000 pounds when equipped with a load-distributing hitch, ensuring that trailers, boats, and heavy equipment are handled with ease.
Electrified Power for Ultimate Performance
The Ramcharger’s advanced powertrain combines the best of electric and gasoline technology for maximum capability. Two permanent-magnet motors provide propulsion—offering 335 horsepower (front) and 333 horsepower (rear)—delivering incredible performance. A Pentastar V-6 engine generates additional power through an onboard generator, ensuring consistent energy flow whether driving in pure electric mode or utilizing the range-extending gas engine.
For those seeking exhilarating performance, Sport mode unleashes 647 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque, launching this truck from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. Even with a fully depleted battery, the system ensures smooth operation, maintaining speeds up to 114 mph and tackling steep grades effortlessly while towing.
Smart Battery and Charging Capabilities
The Ramcharger features a 91.8 kWh liquid-cooled battery pack, offering a 145-mile electric range. With DC fast charging, drivers can recharge from 20% to 80% in just 45 minutes, while the onboard 11kW AC charger enables a full charge in about 8 hours. Additionally, the 27-gallon fuel tank provides an extended total range of 690 miles, making long hauls and remote adventures worry-free.
Innovative bi-directional charging technology allows the Ramcharger to power a home during outages, supplying up to 30 kW/day for 11 days. It can also share its charge with other EVs, making it an excellent tool for off-grid excursions and emergency situations.
