The all-electric full-size RamTrucks EV pickup truck promises class-leading capability and introduces a few novel innovations, too.
but kept the overall styling somewhat conservative and familial to the ICE versions to not spook loyal truck buyers.
Koval thinks it is a heroic design that will change hearts and minds when it comes to pickup trucks, especially as it will also offer"white knuckle acceleration and extraordinary efficiency."The whole cabin was shifted forward, and it is 4.0 inches longer than today's 1500s, while the bed length remains the same. The roof height is lower, likely for better aerodynamics. It comes only as a crew cab—that is the preferred configuration of 80-90 percent of buyers, says Koval.
The removable lower section of the jump seats also creates a pass-through to both the bed and the frunk, to fit objects such as PVC piping and wood planks up to 18 feet long with the tailgate closed—and seemingly longer with the fold-out bed extender in place. The opening, where it meets the front firewall, is roughly 1 foot by 1 foot.Yes, there is a frunk—a front trunk where an engine would normally be.
That huge touchscreen is actually two screens, offering 28 inches of display. The lower screen tilts with three different positions to offer a single flush screen, a slight angle, ore a more extreme angle. It can also be removed, like a tablet. The driver also has an augmented reality head-up display—there is no digital cluster. Other wow inducers? The glass roof extends across the truck; there is no headliner.
All-wheel drive is achieved by having two electric drive modules, one in front and one in the back. The Revolution concept also has four-wheel steering with up to 15 degrees of articulation. It is a feature that makes it easier to maneuver the large vehicle. It also means it can crab walk, Koval confirms, similar to the Hummer pickup.
