For years, Omaha truck enthusiasts have trusted the H+H family of dealerships—H+H Chevy, H+H Kia, and H+H Jeep Dodge Ram—to bring them the latest in automotive innovation. Now, get ready for a revolutionary leap forward.

Initially announced as a fully electric pickup, the Ram 1500 REV has evolved into something even more groundbreaking for its 2026 model year debut. The 2026 1500 REV Omaha is not just an electric truck; it’s a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV), engineered to eliminate range anxiety while delivering the incredible power and performance Ram drivers demand.

This isn’t just another electric vehicle. Ram has ingeniously combined a powerful battery and dual electric motors with an on-board 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine that functions exclusively as a generator. This means you get the quiet, instant torque of an EV for your daily commute around Omaha, with the peace of mind knowing you have a class-leading total range of 690 miles for those long hauls across Nebraska.

The REV is the answer for those who are EV curious but need a no-compromise solution that works for both city life and demanding truck tasks.

The Best of Both Worlds: A New Kind of Electric Truck

What exactly is a range-extended electric truck? Think of it as an electric vehicle with its own portable power generator. The wheels are driven entirely by two potent electric motors, fed by a substantial 92-kWh battery. For most of your driving, from dropping the kids off at Millard Public Schools to a night out in the Old Market, you’ll be running on pure, silent electricity.

However, when the battery level drops, the 3.6L V6 gas engine seamlessly kicks in, not to power the wheels, but to generate electricity and recharge the battery. This innovative system gives the Ram 1500 REV an unprecedented level of flexibility. You can plug it in and charge it like a typical EV, enjoying up to 145 miles of all-electric range, or you can fill up the gas tank for long-distance trips without ever needing to search for a public charging station.

Performance and Power That Redefines the Pickup

The 2026 Ram 1500 REV is built on the new STLA Frame platform, a robust foundation designed specifically for electric and range-extended vehicles. This advanced architecture allows the REV to pack a serious punch. The dual electric motors produce a combined 663 horsepower and 615 lb-ft of torque, launching this full-size truck from 0 to 60 mph in a stunning 4.5 seconds.

That’s more than enough power to merge onto I-80 with confidence or leave traditional gas-powered trucks in the dust. But the REV isn’t just about speed. It’s a workhorse, designed to tackle the toughest jobs in and around Omaha.

Total Horsepower: 663 hp
Total Torque: 615 lb-ft
0-60 MPH: 4.5 seconds
All-Electric Range: 145 miles
Best-in-Class Total Range: 690 miles

Unmatched Towing, Payload, and Capability

Ram trucks are legendary for their capability, and the 2026 Ram 1500 REV proudly carries on that tradition. With a staggering best-in-class maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds, the REV is ready to haul anything from a boat to Lake Manawa to heavy equipment for a job site in Sarpy County. It also boasts a best-in-class maximum payload capacity of 2,625 pounds, proving that going electric doesn’t mean sacrificing strength.

To handle these immense loads, the REV comes standard with an advanced four-corner air suspension system with adaptive dampers. This technology not only provides a smooth, comfortable ride but also automatically adjusts to optimize aerodynamics at highway speeds, level the truck when towing, and lower for easy entry and exit—a feature you’ll appreciate in any Omaha parking lot.

A Striking Exterior Design

The 2026 Ram 1500 REV retains the bold and muscular aesthetic that Ram trucks are renowned for, ensuring that the shift to electric power doesn’t compromise its commanding presence on the road.

The front fascia features a reimagined grille, optimized for aerodynamics while paying homage to Ram’s iconic design language. Sleek LED headlights and a sculpted hood contribute to a modern yet aggressive stance.

In comparison, the 1500 REV maintains a similar design to its gas-powered counterpart in the 1500, emphasizing strength and durability. For the 1500 REV, this is a stark differentiator from competing BEV (battery electric vehicle) pickups, which are much more noticeably different from their internal combustion versions.

Capability and Comfortability Inside

Inside the 2026 Ram 1500 REV, you’ll find a cabin that seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with the premium comfort Ram is known for. The interior is designed to impress, offering a luxurious and connected experience that rivals many high-end sedans, while still providing the practicality you expect from a pickup truck.

The star of the show is the impressive array of digital displays. The 1500 REV offers over 50 inches of combined available digital displays, including a stunning 14.5-inch touchscreen that serves as the command center for the Uconnect® 5 system. A class-exclusive 10.25-inch front passenger touchscreen provides your co-pilot with access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle cameras.

The 1500 REV offers a wealth of advanced technology across its lineup. You can use your smartphone as a digital key, and a dual wireless charging pad can charge two phones at once. The innovative front trunk, or “frunk,” provides an additional 15 cubic feet of storage space, a feature you won’t find on its gas-powered counterparts.

Charging and Onboard Power for Every Omaha Adventure

The Ram 1500 REV offers versatile charging solutions. It supports Level 1 and Level 2 home charging, and for rapid charging on the go, it’s compatible with DC fast chargers up to 145 kW. This allows you to add up to 50 miles of electric range in just 10 minutes—about the time it takes to grab a coffee.

One of the most exciting features is the REV’s onboard power panel. Located in the bed of the truck, it can provide up to 7.2 kW of power, enough to run tools at a construction site, power your campsite, or even keep your home essentials running during a power outage. Imagine being the hero of the tailgate at a Husker game with enough power for a big-screen TV, speakers, and a grill, all running off your truck.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the 2026 Ram 1500 REV

1. What is a Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV)?

A REEV is an electric vehicle with a small onboard gasoline engine that works exclusively as a generator to recharge the battery. The engine never powers the wheels directly, so you always get a pure EV driving experience with instant torque and quiet operation.

3. Are REEVs a good choice for Nebraska winters?
