The future of pickup trucks is evolving with innovative powertrain options, and Ram is stepping up with its 2026 Ram 1500 REV. Unlike earlier attempts at fully electric pickups that faced challenges like limited range and cold-weather performance, this new model takes a hybrid approach that blends a robust V6 engine with a large 92-kWh battery.
The Ram 1500 REV uses a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine to generate electricity for its high-voltage battery, promising around 690 miles of range. This setup addresses common concerns for electric vehicle users in Florida and beyond — reduced driving range, longer charging times, and cold weather impact. Drivers can enjoy the benefits of electrification with less anxiety about when or where to charge.
However, maximizing the electric-only range of 150 miles requires regular plug-in charging with a Level 2 charger, as a standard outlet may not fully replenish the battery overnight. This raises questions about how often drivers will plug in, a challenge faced by plug-in hybrids nationwide.
With an estimated 647 horsepower and towing capacity up to 14,000 pounds, the Ram 1500 REV is designed to meet the demanding needs of pickup truck owners. Florida drivers in search of reliable vehicles that blend power with new technology may find this hybrid pickup an attractive option.
At Florida Auto Center, shoppers can explore a variety of dependable used cars in Orlando, including trucks and SUVs that suit diverse lifestyles. As automakers like Ram push hybrid and electric technologies forward, staying informed on these trends helps you make smart vehicle choices that fit Florida driving conditions.
