Will the V6 run all the time?

[HSKR R/T]

Right. And the details of exactly that are what I was asking about and speculating about.

Like, just for example, can it pull it when the battery is at minimum SOC at the start, with max load (14K #), and maintain the speed limit (up that whole grade they talk about)?

I don't think a Pentastar could do it. I don't think a Hemi could do it. I also don't think a Ramcharger could do it. But I would LOVE to be proven wrong!

Guess we will find out when it gets released for public testing.

What is your definition of "speed limit"? Per J2807, it can't fall below 40 MPH at any time, so per J2807, 40 MPH would be "speed limit". But if you are talking posted speed limit, depending on what the posted speed limit is, I'd guess that a Ramcharger starting with empty battery and pulling 14,000 lbs on ICE-generator alone probably won't be going 60 MPH.

Yes, I meant the speed limit of the road, not the minimum speed specified by the test.

And I agree with you.

I was able to find the "maxspeed" overlay in Open Street Browser, which indicates that the Davis Dam test course along route 68 from Laughlin, Nevada area to Union Pass in Arizona is 65 MPH. I've never been there so I can't vouch for the accuracy of that OpenStreetMaps overlay. I believe those "maxspeed" values are for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles, probably heavy trucks and possibly vehicles towing trailers have different speed limits.
