Ram Trucks Teases Big Reveal for June 8th
Fighter Pilot Easter Egg Point to the HEMI®'s Return

Ram Trucks is stirring the pot in classic Mopar fashion. If you’ve been following their official social media channels, you may have caught a brief—but loaded—video teaser dropped yesterday.
The teaser video, titled “Fire up the engines—Big things are on the horizon. 06.08.25,” features Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis and YouTuber Heavy D (@heavydsparks) chatting at a catering table. The mood shifts when a guy in full fighter pilot gear walks up, grabs a cookie, and casually strolls off with a helmet in hand—after complimenting Kuniskis’ jacket.
Now, here’s where it gets really interesting.
Just days ago, we published an article about a leaked image sent to us from the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (SHAP) broadcast sheet. It showed pilot builds for the highly anticipated Ram 1500 Ramcharger Range-Extending Paradigm Breaker (REPB) and a mysterious program labeled “F15 Pilot.” Internally, “F15” is the codename for the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8, known as “Eagle.” And yes—the name directly references the F-15 Eagle fighter jet.
So, we don’t think the guy wearing pilot gear is just a coincidence.
While nothing’s official yet, the writing’s on the wall—the HEMI V8 is making a comeback.

It also fits the timeline Kuniskis laid out in a bold LinkedIn post back in April. He stated that 25 new product announcements are planned over the next 18 months, and that it all starts on June 8th.
“Four months ago, I returned to the Ram brand with a clear mission: to build exciting trucks,” Kuniskis wrote. “Since then, we have been shaping the next evolution of Ram — a bold new chapter that honors the legacy of the brand while redefining its future.”
We’ll be watching closely on June 8th—and we’ll have full coverage when Ram drops the hammer.
