RAM

Germany's Unicat has been building some of Earth's largest, most capable expedition vehicles for decades. For its latest rig, it's cozying up to the American market, turning the Ram 5500 into the Brilliant B63X all-terrain motorhome.

The 500-mile 1500 REV electric pickup Ram revealed in April promises to alleviate range anxiety symptoms. But the new 1500 Ramcharger looks to eradicate the problem entirely, using a two-motor e-drive and V6 generator for nearly 700 miles of range.

Maxwell and Rossmönster have come together to launch the most capable e-camper van available in the US. The Vanacea camper uses all battery power for driving up to 250 miles and powering camp, with backup help from a full-rooftop solar spread.

Nevada startup TruckHouse emerged in 2021 to realize a spiritual successor to the cult-classic Toyota Sunrader 4x4 RV of 1980s fame. Now it's going bigger and badder by mounting a carbon fiber camper atop a Ram 3500 AEV Prospector.

Maxwell Vehicles offers a longer-range e-camper van solution for the US market. Not only does its 250-mile electric camper van double the range of some competitors, it's backed by a full-length solar roof that can add double-digit mileage each day.

Ram has been promising best-in-class electric pickup numbers since the 1500 REV was but a whisper, and it now shows what it means. The 654-hp 1500 REV will offer 500 miles of range on battery alone, along with a 2,700-lb payload and 14,000-lb towing.

Ram is trying hard to make up for lost time in getting its first e-pickup out into the world. After showing the 1500 Revolution BEV Concept at CES 2023, it rolled the more polished 1500 REV pickup in front of the cameras during Super Bowl LVII.

The Chicago Auto Show is the oldest and largest of the North American automotive shows. Held annually, the show features a host of ride-and-drives where consumers can get into the vehicles to try them out without dealership pressure.

The new Ram 1500 Revolution BEV doesn't make up all the ground Ram has lost in the electric pickup race, but it's a fun showpiece. The AWD concept boasts 3rd-row seating, an autonomous slow-roll feature and an accompanying battery-boosting robot.

The new CJ Surge concept is a classic pre-Wrangler Jeep with a 200-kW electric drive powering all 4 wheels. The restomod has potential to be more than just a one-and-done, allowing Mopar to explore the possibility of an aftermarket electric kit.

The Specialty Equipment Market Association show (SEMA) happens every year, and usually features some seriously customized vehicles. Mopar’s offerings this year include a nose-thumb at Tesla, a customized plug-in Jeep, and a scary apex predator truck.

Rossmönster has years of experience creating the type of homey camper van that inspires people to declare the road their home. Now it takes a big step off-road, offering a hard-wall pop-up camper truck every bit as warm and comfy as its vans.
