Who is Cybertruck? Ram unveils an All-Electric Pickup Concept, Loaded with Future-Forward Technology

Ram Trucks Although it was a bit late for the party, it still made it.

Detroit automaker revealed its first electric car truck Concept, the 1500 Revolution was presented at the Consumer Electronics Show this week. EV’s new features and gadgets will make it stand apart in a crowded field, despite its tardiness.

The 1500 Revolution or something similar was imminent. Ram, which used to be a Dodge model line before it was spun off as its own brand, hasn’t hidden that it was working on an electric version of the 1500. That doesn’t make the prototype Ram brought to Las Vegas any less impressive, though. The Ram EV is as future-forward if the production model remains true to the original concept. Rivian, Ford F-150 Lightning Or even the long-hyped, perpetually delayed Tesla Cybertruck.

Because it’s just a concept, details about the 1500 Revolution’s powertrain are scant at this point. What we do know is: according to several outlets, is that the pickup will be built on parent company Stellantis’s body-on-frame EV platform and have two motors, one on each axle, giving it four-wheel drive. Although no power figures were quoted, we’d expect it to at least be able to compete with the top-of-the-line F-150 Lightning, the Platinum, which can generate 563 hp, 775 ft lbs of torque and tow up to 10,000 pounds. There was no word about driving range, either, but we’d expect it to come in between 250 and 300 miles, if not higher. It was also not mentioned about the combustion-based range extender This was briefly discussed last year.

The prototype shown at CES doesn’t look radically different from the current 1500, though it’s definitely sleeker and more modern. It extends 18 feet bumper to bumper and has one of the largest cabins we’ve seen on an electric pickup, and that includes the gargantuan GMC Hummer EV. It also features a distinctive LED light package that includes a large illuminated Ram logo between its headlights. This is where the grille on a gas powered truck would be. The bed features a row of jump seats, power midgate, and a pass-through area that allows cargo to be carried as far as the vehicle. The pickup is equipped with a set 24-inch wheels and 36-inch tires.

The truck’s two-row cabin looks to be absolutely gigantic. The truck’s two-row cabin is just like other battery-powered models. It also has a number of screens, including a 28 inch dual-display touchscreen infotainment screen perched high on the middle stack. The two screens are great, but the best part is that you can take out the bottom half and use it as a tablet. You’ll also be able to use the system to trigger Level 3 autonomous driving (during which the rectangular steering wheel retracts) and Shadow Mode, which allows the truck to follow its driver while they’re on foot. You can also adjust the cabin’s electric chromatic glass roof using individual panels, as well as suicide doors and a removable console for more space.

Of course, it’s not clear whether the 1500 Revolution is a near-production vehicle or just a tech demonstration. Ram will soon release a battery-powered 1500, however, and it will certainly be a vehicle to watch, even if it only has half of the features shown in concept.
