The charged hybrid truck debuted a year and a half ago, but all the characteristics are confirmed only now. The serial RamCharger is inferior to the concept-frame in power (663 versus 672 horsepower) and the dynamics of acceleration (0-96 km/h in 4.5 seconds instead of 4.4 seconds). And the main news was the equipped mass of 3.4 tons: this is the heaviest RAM, almost three centners more than the infernal TRX!
The STELLANTIS concern is non-standard: the bet was made on a sequential hybrid with an atmospheric 3.6-liter V6 as a generator. The mighty gasoline engine forced to preserve a solid 102-liter fuel tank, also contributed to the battery with a capacity of 91.8 kilowatt hours.

The car manufacturer claims that despite the solid equipped mass, the load capacity (1.2 tons) and towing abilities (up to 6.35 tons) are the best in the RAM 1500 family. The charger has also improved on the way to serial production: now it supports the capacity of 175 kilowatts (instead of 145 kilowatts). The total stroke of a fully charged and refitted pickup is 1110 kilometers.
Supply RAM 1500 RamCharger will begin in the second half of the year. Prices have not yet been announced, but according to rumors, a truck with a hybrid system will cost about 60 thousand dollars. So far, there are no consistent hybrids in the US market in the class of full -sized pickups, so the successes of the new products will carefully monitor Ford and General Motors.
