The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger, the world's first series-hybrid pickup truck, addresses the issue of limited towing range in all-electric pickups by combining gas and electric power.
Joe Tolkacz, the Ramcharger propulsion system chief engineer, noted a pivotal towing test revealed the urgent need for a hybrid approach, realizing they struggled with range while towing.
The Ramcharger features a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine solely for generating power for the electric motors, allowing it to efficiently tow without range depletion.
Utilizing a hybrid system similar to the BMW i3 Range Extender, the Ramcharger combines electric motors and a generator, providing robust towing capabilities without electric range anxiety.
