2027 Ram 1500 REV: Range-Extended Electric Truck Specs and Range for Ontario Buyers

September 24th, 2026 by

2027 Ram 1500 REV range-extended electric pickup truck

How Far Can the 2027 Ram 1500 REV Drive?

The 2027 Ram 1500 REV targets up to 690 miles of total driving range. It reaches that number by pairing an electric drive system with an onboard gasoline generator. On battery power alone, the truck targets up to 145 miles. After that, the gas engine starts and recharges the pack while you drive.

This is not a battery-electric pickup. Ram cancelled its all-electric full-size truck. It then moved the REV name to this range-extended model, shown previously as the Ramcharger. The difference is practical. The truck never depends on public charging to finish a long trip or a heavy tow. Weighing electrified powertrain types against one another? Our PHEV vs. hybrid vs. full EV breakdown covers how each one behaves day to day.

How the Range Extender Works

A liquid-cooled 92-kWh battery pack works alongside an onboard 130-kW generator. A 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine drives that generator. The gas engine never drives the wheels. It works purely as an electrical generator. It replenishes the battery and feeds the electric drive modules directly when demand spikes. Stellantis press materials for the 1500 REV confirm there is no mechanical path from the engine to the wheels.

What 145 Miles of Electric Range Covers Around Ontario

For commuters around Ontario, 145 miles covers most daily local driving. None of it burns gasoline. Longer highway trips and heavy hauling ask for more. The 27-gallon fuel tank keeps the generator fed toward that 690-mile total.

What Are the Performance and Horsepower Specs of the 2027 Ram 1500 REV?

The 2027 Ram 1500 REV targets 647 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque. Both come from its dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain. Ram targets a 0–60 mph time of 4.5 seconds.

Power delivery relies on dual electric drive modules. One sits on the front axle and one on the rear. The front module adds an automatic wheel-end disconnect. It lets the front wheels spin freely in certain conditions, which cuts drag and improves efficiency. The front axle re-engages when traction or hard acceleration calls for it. That restores full eAWD capability.

Chassis and Suspension

The truck rides on the STLA Frame architecture. It is a high-strength body-on-frame platform built specifically for full-size electrified trucks. A multi-link independent rear suspension replaces the solid rear axle. Ride quality is smoother and handling is steadier as a result. Standard active-level four-corner air suspension adds five selectable modes: entry and exit, aero, normal, off-road 1 and off-road 2.

Power Mode Selector

Drivers manage energy and performance through four selectable settings.

Electric+ Mode

Runs the truck on battery power. The generator engages as soon as it is needed.

E-Save Mode

Preserves battery charge by controlling when the generator engages.

Eco Mode

Prioritizes efficiency. Climate control draw is reduced to save power.

eAWD and eSport Modes

Additional settings that optimize energy use or sharpen performance.

What Is the Maximum Towing and Payload Capacity of the 2027 Ram 1500 REV?

Towing and Payload Ratings

The 2027 Ram 1500 REV targets a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds with a class 5 hitch. Maximum payload reaches 2,625 pounds when properly equipped. Ram positions both figures as best in the light-duty class.

The range-extended layout matters most under load. Towing near the limit drains a conventional electric truck quickly. Here the onboard 130-kW generator keeps continuous power flowing to the electric drive motors. Capability holds without forcing charging stops. Cross-shopping the segment? Our Ram 1500 vs. Silverado 1500 vs. Sierra 1500 comparison lines up the light-duty contenders side by side.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.

Worksite Utility

RamBox Cargo Management System

Lockable, weatherproof bedside storage bins with drain plugs. A 115-volt 400-watt auxiliary outlet sits on the driver side of the bed.

Exportable Power

An onboard power panel in the bed provides up to 7.2 kW. Bi-directional charging can send power to a home or another vehicle.

Power Tailgate

Available power opening and closing. Control it by key fob, a button in the overhead console, or the tailgate handle.

What Trim Levels Will the 2027 Ram 1500 REV Offer?

The Three-Trim Lineup

Ram lists the 2027 Ram 1500 REV in three trims: Tradesman, Laramie and Tungsten. Pricing has not been published for any of them. Final figures and package availability will come from the manufacturer closer to retail launch.

Tungsten sits atop the lineup. Ram calls it the most luxurious Ram 1500 built to date. Its equipment includes 22-inch aluminum wheels and premium leather 24-way power-adjustable front seats with heating, ventilation, memory and massage. A suede-wrapped headliner runs across the cabin. Audio comes from a 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere system, driven by a 24-channel 1,228-watt amplifier with a 12-inch subwoofer.

Federal and California Incentives

Federal clean vehicle tax credits under IRC section 30D were terminated for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. Current purchases do not qualify for a federal clean vehicle credit. The Congressional Research Service documents the repeal. State and local utility programs may still offer separate charging equipment rebates. Our guide to California EV and PHEV incentives in 2026 covers what remains available.

How Fast Does the 2027 Ram 1500 REV Charge?

The 2027 Ram 1500 REV can add up to 50 miles of all-electric range in about 10 minutes. That takes 400-volt DC fast charging at up to 145 kW. The smart charging port uses a lockable, weatherproof enclosure with a quick-release mount. It handles three levels of charging.

Charging Levels

Charging Level Power Source What It Delivers
Level 1 120-volt household outlet Trickle charging, best suited to overnight top-offs on light daily driving
Level 2 240-volt home or public charger Dedicated home wall-charger setup for routine overnight charging
Level 3 (DC Fast) 400-volt DC public charging Up to 50 miles of all-electric range in about 10 minutes at up to 145 kW

One Pedal Driving and Energy Tracking

One Pedal Driving Mode adds efficiency. Easing off the accelerator engages regenerative braking. The truck slows down while kinetic energy converts back into electricity. Drivers can track power flow, battery and energy levels, and nearby charging locations three ways: the Uconnect 5 system, the digital cluster display, or the Free2move Charge app. Setting up charging at home first? Our Level 1 vs. Level 2 home charging guide for California walks through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2027 Ram 1500 REV

Is the 2027 Ram 1500 REV an all-electric truck?

No. The 2027 Ram 1500 REV is a range-extended electric truck. Electric motors drive the wheels at all times, while an onboard 3.6L Pentastar V6 acts solely as a generator to recharge the battery on the move. Ram cancelled its battery-electric full-size pickup and applied the REV name to this range-extended model.

What type of engine does the 2027 Ram 1500 REV use as a generator?

The 2027 Ram 1500 REV uses a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine paired with an onboard 130-kW generator. The V6 operates strictly as a generator, converting mechanical energy into electrical current that feeds the liquid-cooled 92-kWh battery pack and the electric drive modules rather than connecting to the drive wheels.

Does the gas engine in the 2027 Ram 1500 REV directly drive the wheels?

No. The gasoline engine has no direct mechanical path to the axles or wheels. Propulsion is handled exclusively by dual electric drive modules on the front and rear axles. The V6 operates solely to recharge the battery and supply supplemental electrical current to the motors during high power demand.

What warranty coverage comes standard with the 2027 Ram 1500 REV?

Ram’s baseline new-vehicle coverage is a 3-year/36,000-mile basic limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. Ram has not published high-voltage battery or electrified-component warranty terms for the 2027 Ram 1500 REV. Confirm current coverage with the dealership before purchase.
