Set to release towards the end of 2024, the ramnew electric truck will offer a range of up to 500 miles, 650 horsepower, and a towing capacity of up to 14,000 pounds.
The capabilities of electric vehicles are rapidly expanding, as seen recently with the new 2025 Ram 1500 REV. As shown at the New York Auto Show and reported on by outlets like Autoblog, this new electric truck from Ram boasts some impressive specs including up to 650 horsepower and a battery range up to 500 miles. To be able to take advantage of that range, buyers will need to select the larger battery pack option when purchasing the vehicle, with the REV offering two battery pack options.
One features 22 modules and a 168 kWh capacity for a somewhat less impressive range of up to 350 miles, while the other is a pack that sports 30 modules and 229 kWh capacity for a larger range of up to 500 miles. Only one powertrain option is available for the REV that features a pair of electric motors with each having an output of 250 kW and a total output of 654 horsepower. All-wheel drive will come standard on the vehicle which sits on a wider frame than other Ram trucks in order to incorporate its battery packs.
As noted by Autoblog, Ram estimates that the REV will be able to go from 0 to 60 in as little as 4.4 seconds. Towing capacity sees the REV pulling up to 14,000 pounds of trailer, or holding up to 2,700 pounds of cargo in its truck bed. Currently, the 2025 Ram 1500 REV is expected to be available for sale towards the end of 2024 as a 2025 model.
Kelley Blue Book estimates the REV will have a starting price around $58,000 (USD), with the fully loaded Ram 1500 REV Tungsten model expected to be available at a price point closer to $100,000. Given the capabilities of the 2025 Ram 1500 REV including a range of up to 500 miles, we find ourselves eager to see more of the electric truck in the future.

and it will probably go 82 miles while towing a 7500lbs camper.

I hope not! I believe electric tow trucks are the future and the guys at https://www.scarboroughtow.com/ is going to be stoked about this.

This thing is a fucking monstrosity and everything that is wrong with America. It has a fucking 229 kwh battery pack for 500 mile supposed range. If I had the same size in my Tesla I'd have over 900 miles of range. Sure I can't tow as much whatever - almost no one does on a day to day basis. Considering these things are just going to be used for commuting etc it is a huge waste of resources. We need to stop our fascination with buying big trucks and SUVs because honestly it isn't necessary. I know there are those who will claim they NEED it to work on their house or whatever but the rest of the world has houses and doesn't drive land behemoths like these.

Don’t really see the problem here. Some people do actually tow things with their trucks and it makes sense that a large vehicle would have a large battery.
-
Some people do, that's true. The vast majority of large trucks I see ain't towing shit, though. Like ever, not just at the moment.
Given how much battery weight affects performance I'd hope for a modular system for a vehicle like this aimed at normal consumers. No reason to lug around massive batteries on days when you aren't hauling anything.

Can't wait for electric trucks to be the norm, this is so exciting for me. And I know the guys down at https://www.scarboroughtow.com/ are going to be stoked about this because they're looking to upgrade to electric tow trucks by 2026, and the tech just might let them do it!
