EV Channels Review

This TFL Talkin' Trucks episode provides an in-depth look at the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup and the new Ramcharger range-extended electric vehicle, featuring interviews with chief engineers. The primary focus is the transition from the V8 Hemi to a new twin-turbocharged 3.0L inline-six 'Hurricane' engine. Engineers highlight the engine's durability, performance exceeding the Hemi on paper, and inherent smoothness due to its inline-six configuration. They detail the standard and high-output versions, emphasizing unique hardware for each and the 'ideal' turbocharger architecture. The discussion also touches on the Ramcharger's impressive 690-mile estimated range and its unique setup as a series hybrid, where the engine acts solely as a generator. While the video praises the new powertrain's potential, it acknowledges the V8's departure will disappoint some enthusiasts. The review also briefly covers new trim levels like 'Tungsten' and the potential return of the TRX.
