Ram says the 1500 is also getting a new rear axle for 2025. All three engines will be offered exclusively with the company's TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic. If not, it should at least be in the ballpark. Ram offered no specs on the 3.6-liter Pentastar as an actual engine (as opposed to a generator), but it's safe to assume it carries over its 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. Ram says the 20 maxes out at 11,580 pounds of towing capacity and a maximum payload of 2,300 pounds - both less than what you get from the Ramcharger, but still quite respectable. of torque, while the High Output engine is rated at 540 hp and 521 lb.-ft. The 3.0-liter Hurricane engine is rated at 420 horsepower and 469 lb.-ft. For now, that sub-model is "shelved," in Ram's words. No V8 or diesel will be offered in the 15. We'll get both variants in the Ram, in addition to the returning 3.6-liter Hemi V6. The rollout of the Hurricane I6 started with the volume-driven Jeep Grand Cherokee and the upmarket Jeep Wagoneer. That the 5.7- and 6.4-liter Hemi V8s are being thrown out in favor of Ram's new Hurricane inline-six engine is certainly significant, but it's just not that much of a surprise. In any other year, the death of the Hemi V8 would be a headline-dominating piece of information, but ironically drowned out by the silent Ramcharger. While that may be the biggest news for the 2025 Ram lineup, that's not the end of it. Even with that huge, heavy battery pack, this thing can haul a lot of mulch. That's paired with a 2,625-pound payload capacity. In fact, with a max tow rating of 14,000 pounds (class V), it even out-pulls the outgoing gasoline-powered Ram 1500, which offers max trailering of just 12,750 pounds. For all intents and purposes (and importantly, compliance with government mandates), this is battery EV.īut don't worry, it's still a truck. The 3.6-liter Pentastar is exclusively fitted to act as a generator for the battery pack, and there is no physical output from the engine that can turn the Ramcharger's wheels. Sure, it has both gasoline and electric motivators under all that sheetmetal, but only the electric motors can drive the axles. They're fed by that Pentastar V6, which serves as a 130-kilowatt generator mated to the 92-kWh battery pack. The front unit produces 250 kW (335 horsepower) and the rear another 238 kW (320 hp). That should be good enough to propel it to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds - just 2/10ths slower than a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. On top of its 690-mile effective range, Ram says the new electric truck will produce 663 horsepower and 615 lb.-ft of torque. The Ramcharger should be able to dismiss just about any performance anxiety, in fact. 20 adds Hurricane I6 power - and 'unlimited' range Ramcharger EV Ready for a 700-mile electric truck?
