The groundbreaking Ram 1500 Ramcharger sets itself apart as a distinct model within the Ram lineup, yet it retains the legendary DNA of the iconic Ram 1500. As Ram's first-ever plug-in hybrid truck, the Ramcharger revolutionizes performance and efficiency by integrating a state-of-the-art 130-kW onboard generator with the proven 3.6L V6 engine.
