Thats great. 27 gallons of fuel to aid in the self extinguishing of the lithium battery. I wonder what the home insurance policies might start to say about parking that indoors?

I could actually see just a few situations it might be helpful since it can power a home the article says. For me it would be more like a job site or cabin and it says its got 600hp 600tq. But outwardly it just sounds goofy for most. It almost seems they are just trying to stay in the race or appease the ones who give out bailout cash when needed. The youtube expert UT... (more like a UTI) has a vid saying how stupid it is (the new truck) but has a vid just before that saying how the engineers were so smart and should not be questioned... another click bait king. We are living in odd times.

The good news should be a Hemi is still available. You didn't read the article. For the traditional Ram 1500 models, the biggest change is the company is dropping its well-known Hemi V-8. Replacing the current 5.7-liter Hemi engine offered in the truck will be a twin-turbocharged, inline-six-cylinder engine called the Hurricane.

Using a large V6 as the generator is a non starter. It should have been a 2 or 3 cylinder. It likely needs a little more power than that since it has a large enough generator to charge the battery and move the truck. But you are right it is probably overkill. It also likely keeps cost down using an existing power plant, and the 3.6 is probably pretty clean running fixed RPM.

It's the 2025 model year that gets the ICE & Battery power not 2024, and it's 2025 that no longer has a Hemi available.
Thread title says 2024.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

My God, what a service nightmare!
Many service departments cannot solve simpler current electrical issues than are likely to come up with this new, more complicated combo. I wish the new owner's luck. I won't even think about being one of first guinea pigs.

The key words in my post were “should be” . Yes I did read the article and fully understood it.

Now I can see why a buddy of mine retired from Chrysler a couple years ago. He said he wanted NO PART of the future engineering developments (EV stuff) that was coming down the pike that he was going to have to be a part of. I don't blame him.

Didn't they learn anything from Fords Ecoboost fiasco? I'm just done buying new trucks. I used to buy a new truck every 2 years, but my 2017 is the last. I don't like the ridiculous "technology".
