2026 Ram 1500 REV Specs, Dimensions, Features – The biggest of the two battery options available for Ram’s first all-electric pickup boasts an incredible 229 kWh and can tow up to 14,000 pounds.
After Stellantis’ truck brand’s impressive January CES unveiling of the Ram Revolution concept, a much more traditional-looking 2026 Ram 1500 REV made its premiere this week at the 2023 New York Auto Show.
The production-intent pickup still makes a lot of aggressive, class-leading claims about its range and towing capacity, even though it has toned down the look and removed some of the more striking features, such as the full-length cargo pass-through that I was really looking forward to in the concept. 2026 Ram 1500 REV Specs
2026 Ram 1500 REV Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior & Interior
During its first year of production, the 2026 Ram 1500 REV will be available in five trim levels, with the new Tungsten variant at the top.
A 23-speaker Klipsch audio system with state-of-the-art rear-seat center channel drivers built into the front seat backs is part of the luxurious interior of the 1500 REV Tungsten.
Ram’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system, which includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.5-inch vertical center screen, and the carmaker’s first 10.25-inch passenger screen, will be used by front-row passengers. (A descendent of the 1500’s House Stellantis, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer’s co-pilot display is similar.)
The entry-level models will come with a 12-inch touchscreen, while the other trim levels include Limited, Laramie, Big Horn/Lone Star, and Tradesman.

Engine & Performance
Naturally, Ram’s first electric vehicle runs on batteries and will initially be available in two different variants. An optional 229-kWh big battery increases the predicted range to 500 miles, while the basic 168-kWh pack is expected to provide up to 350 miles of cruising range. Without backup power, that works out to around 2.2 miles per kilowatt-hour in the most basic calculations.
Ram also hinted to an even longer-range Ram 1500 REV XR at the unveiling, but it didn’t say how it planned to accomplish this “class-shattering range.” I assume the XR will have a 2WD variant that boosts consumption rather than capacity because a car this size probably doesn’t have much more bulk money for a larger battery.
The 1500 REV can go from 0 to 60 kilometers per hour in 4.4 seconds with a maximum power output of 654 horsepower and 654 pound-feet of torque.
Ram is a prime example of the STLA Large body-on-frame chassis’s remarkable carrying capacity, which includes the ability to tow up to 14,000 pounds and transport a payload of 2,700 pounds. Ram doesn’t specify if a certain package or piece of towing gear is necessary.
The manufacturer also provides 15 cubic feet of underhood storage, which is situated beneath the powered hood, where the engine would typically be in a pickup-shaped vehicle, and Ram Box bedside storage bins for further functionality.
In addition to the 7.2-kW power outlet in the bed, users could find it helpful to have a 3.6-kW AC inverter plug in the frunk to power their toys and portable electronics. The 1500 REV’s bidirectional J1772 CCS charging interface will also enable vehicle-to-home, vehicle-to-vehicle, and vehicle-to-grid connections. 2026 Ram 1500 REV Specs
2026 Ram 1500 REV Fuel Economy
It is comparable to other electric pickups of similar size, but not being as efficient as the current generation of smaller electric SUVs. On the other hand, the 303-mile Rivian R1T is now available in a 135-kWh version (EPA 2.1 mi/kWh), while the 131-kWh battery in the Ford Lightning Extended Range is good for about 320 miles (2.1 mi/kWh).
Naturally, the Ram wants to outdo the longest-range vehicle by one mile, or more precisely, by more than 150 miles, with an extra 100 kWh on board.
Filling such large reserves without taking all day requires a dependable charging method. Up to 350 kW of 800-volt DC quick charging is compatible with the 1500 REV. (Of course, the Ram is at least somewhat future-proof, but real 800V/350kW chargers are still a little hard to find in the US.)
With a 10-minute session, the truck should be able to use up to 110 miles of electricity. Even so, charging at home with slower Level 2 electricity is probably going to take at least overnight.
