What to Expect From the 2026 Ram 1500 REV

The truck world is buzzing, and for good reason. Ram has revealed its latest innovation: the 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger. For drivers in Benton, North Little Rock, Maumelle, Jacksonville, Cabot, Bryant, and Alexander, this truck blends the benefits of electric power with the confidence of a gas generator backup. It’s designed to deliver massive range, serious towing strength, and the kind of comfort that makes Ram trucks stand out.

If you’ve been curious about what makes the Ramcharger different, here’s everything you should know before it arrives at Chris Crain Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Benton.

A New Kind of Powertrain

The Ramcharger doesn’t follow the path of a traditional hybrid or EV. Instead, it uses a smart combination:

• A 92 kWh battery pack (about 69.7 usable kWh) provides pure electric driving for daily use.
• The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine works as a generator — meaning it never drives the wheels directly. Instead, it keeps your battery charged and motors running.
• Dual electric motors (front and rear) supply power straight to the wheels.

This setup brings impressive performance numbers:

• 145 miles of all-electric range for daily commutes.
• 690 miles total range when the gas generator is in play.
• 647 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful Ram 1500s ever.
• 14,000 pounds of towing capacity and 2,625 pounds of payload.
• 0–60 mph in about 4.5 seconds, putting it in muscle truck territory.

For Arkansas drivers who want the flexibility of both electric driving and long-distance strength, the Ramcharger is shaping up to be a game-changer.

Interior Comfort & Technology

Inside, the 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger builds on Ram’s reputation for having one of the nicest truck interiors in the industry. Expect a mix of rugged function and upscale features, including:

• A 14.5-inch center touchscreen for infotainment.
• A 12.3-inch digital driver display with customizable layouts.
• An available 10.25-inch passenger screen for navigation or entertainment.
• The latest Uconnect 5 software with over-the-air updates.
• Premium materials like quilted leather, suede, and wood accents on higher trims.
• Available hands-free driving assist for stress-free highway travel.
• Built-in power outlets in the bed, including 120V and possibly 240V, for tools and gear.

Whether you’re commuting from Bryant to Benton or towing a camper out near Maumelle or Jacksonville, the Ramcharger is designed to make every mile more comfortable.

Why the Ramcharger Stands Out

The 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger isn’t just another pickup — it’s a new way of thinking about trucks. Here’s what sets it apart:

• No Range Anxiety: With nearly 700 miles of range, long trips across Arkansas or beyond are easy.
• Instant Torque: Electric motors deliver quick acceleration and smooth power for towing and hauling.
• Silent Driving: In electric-only mode, you can cruise quietly through neighborhoods or on early morning commutes.
• Practical Utility: Ram didn’t sacrifice truck essentials — it still tows, hauls, and works hard like any Ram 1500.
• Future-Proof: With EV incentives and growing charging options, you’ll be ready for tomorrow’s roads.

What Central Arkansas Drivers Can Expect

For drivers in Cabot, Alexander, North Little Rock, and beyond, the Ramcharger could be the perfect balance between innovation and practicality.

• Daily driving in electric mode: Great for short commutes to work, school, or errands.
• Long road trips: Gas generator backup means you won’t be limited to charging stations.
• Heavy work capability: Contractors, farmers, and boat owners will appreciate the 14,000-lb towing capacity.
• Local lifestyle fit: Whether you’re headed to a jobsite in Jacksonville, pulling a trailer through Bryant, or commuting into Little Rock, the Ramcharger adapts to your needs.
