Overview
- Reports published Friday say Automotive News moved the Ram 1500 Rev production window to around April 2027 and the Jeep Grand Wagoneer extended‑range model to about November 2027.
- Spokespeople for Ram and Jeep confirmed both programs remain planned for production but declined to call the updated timing delays.
- Both vehicles use a range‑extended architecture that pairs large battery packs with an on‑board gasoline engine that acts as a generator, with company claims of multi‑hundred‑mile combined ranges and high horsepower figures.
- Industry analysts and outlets warn the design adds weight, mechanical complexity and cost, which could push starting prices well above typical truck and SUV levels and test consumer demand in North America.
- The moves mark a broader strategic shift at Stellantis away from a cancelled fully electric Ram toward extended‑range systems and leave the company racing to align suppliers while competitors also ready their own extended‑range or hybrid models.
