When asked if product plans call for a Ram pickup to have a turbo-4 under its hood, Koval said no. The executive would not confirm whether the range-extended truck and electric truck, the latter set to ride on the frame version of the STLA chassis, will share platforms or if the range-extended model will be based on the gas-powered truck. Range is a key concern of customers and the range-extender is meant to address that, specifically when towing or hauling a load. The executive wouldn't detail the latter's powertrain.Īccording to Koval, the range-extended Ram will "have everything a BEV (the electric Ram) does but more," in reference to capability and more importantly, range. Koval once again confirmed that alongside the electric Ram pickup, which will arrive for 2024, Ram will offer a range-extended gas model. Range-extender and electric models coming, no turbo-4 engines Could the TRX get electrified with or without a plug? The addition of an electric motor to the 8-speed automatic transmission could potentially raise the powertrain's output beyond 700 hp without boosting engine output, and Jeep engineers told MA there's room left to increase power in the engine itself. In standard output form this engine produces 420 hp and 486 lb-ft of torque, while a high output version is rated at 510 hp and 500 lb-ft. Stellantis will electrify the new turbocharged inline-6 announced with the long wheelbase Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. And while performance Grand Cherokees are far from dead, they will not be powered by a V-8. Head of Jeep brand Jim Morrison told MA at the show that the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, which had Hellcat power in its last generation, might not return. It could mean it will continue as a high-speed desert runner but with a different powertrain. At that point, it will theoretically become the only vehicle with the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V-8 as the Charger and Challenger model Hellcats will fade away after 2023, and the Jeep Trackhawk and Dodge Durango Hellcat are already gone.Įither the TRX will continue because emissions regulations are more permissive for pickup trucks or Koval was being coy with what "its current form" meant. The executive wouldn't disclose why the TRX will get to live on beyond when the Hellcats go extinct. The current plan, according to Koval, calls for the TRX to not only exist beyond 2023, but exist in its current form. "No," was the short, blunt, and clear response given when asked if the TRX dies after the 2023 model year, which is when Dodge CEO Tim Kunskis told MA the Hellcat twins as we know them will disappear.
