The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger revives a classic nameplate with a cutting-edge plug-in hybrid powertrain that bridges the gap between traditional gas-powered trucks and EVs. Combining a 3.6-liter V6 engine as a generator with dual electric motors, it delivers 663 horsepower, 615 pound-feet of torque, and a 0–60 mph time of 4.4 seconds. It offers up to 145 miles of all-electric range, a total range of 690 miles with a full tank of gas, and impressive towing and payload capacities of 14,000 and 2,625 pounds, respectively. This could be the ideal solution for fleets seeking a zero-emission pickup truck without the concern of EV range limitations.

November Automotive Market Trends: Resilient Fleet Demand Amid Seasonal Adjustments
In November, wholesale used-vehicle prices, measured by the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index (MUVVI), rose 0.2% year over year to 205.4, though non-adjusted prices fell slightly month over month. Seasonal depreciation was less pronounced due to tight market supply, supporting dealer demand despite the Thanksgiving slowdown. Market segments like sedans saw price increases, while SUVs and pickups experienced year-over-year declines. Electric vehicle (EV) values showed stronger depreciation trends, contrasting with slight gains for non-EVs. Retail used-vehicle sales increased 5% month over month and 15% year over year, with average retail listing prices up 0.4%. New-vehicle sales rose 10.1% from last year, though fleet sales dropped. Consumer confidence improved, with indices rising year over year, but vehicle purchase plans slightly declined amid easing interest rates. Gas prices fell 6% year over year, further bolstering consumer sentiment.
