2026 Ram 1500 REV Limited Caught Testing Ahead of Launch​

Electric Power Meets Real Truck Capability​

We are getting closer and closer to the official launch of the 2026 Ram 1500 REV, and real-world testing is clearly ramping up. Thanks to MoparInsiders reader and longtime supporter Alex Givens, we now have a fresh look at a Ram 1500 REV Limited prototype that was spotted sitting quietly in a public park during validation testing. While it blended in at a glance, this truck represents one of the most important launches in Ram’s modern history.

I wish they would release some news on this thing. It is exactly what I am looking for for my camping setup. No gas around town, plenty of towing distance, can power my camper on my property over the summer and i need a couple more hundred payload lbs. I don't want to go with a 3/4 ton as it wont fit in my garage and would rather not have hail damage every year.

Same here, the proposed Ramcharger (now REV) fits my use-case perfectly. I signed up for the original REV and the original Ramcharger "early adopters" place-keeper at Ram, but I've never heard a peep from Ram after signing up.
.
At this point, given that Ram has been totally silent on the "REV" extended-range-EV, canceling the full battery-electric truck, canceling all Jeep 4xE and Pacifica plug-in hybrids, and with the continuing big changes the White House is making with respect to exhaust emissions and fuel economy regulations, I won't be surprised if Ram cancels the "REV" extended-range EV truck, too. I have not heard anything about them canceling it, I'm just saying that with the rapidly-falling-out-of-favor EV market, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up dropping the EREV truck.
.
I hope Ram pushes through whatever issues they're having and actually comes to market with the EREV truck - it has so much value for a certain segment of the market.

I read in one article that they are cancelling EV and PHEV programs to concentrate more on developing range extended EV's like this. So I'd be surprised if they cancelled it.

I hope you're right. I also hope Ram is taking its sweet time in order to make the REV EREV a high-quality launch and a reliable product. A lot of people love their Jeep 4xE vehicles, but frankly, the 4xEs have had a lot of recalls, some for fire hazards, and they've also been beset with user complaints for general poor reliability/quality. Given how far Ram's sales have fallen in the past two years, they really need to demonstrate top-notch execution on the REV EREV truck, not rushing it out the door to create market buzz.

My daughter has a love/hate relationship with her 4xE Wrangler. She loves it when they're able to use it but hate how often it's been in the shop in the 2+ years they've owned it.
