A supplier memo reviewed by Automotive News puts the Ram 1500 REV's arrival in mid-April 2027, replacing earlier 2026 timing. Suppliers said the extra months are to smooth the rollout of the shared 400-volt battery and motor system, which the Jeep Grand Wagoneer REV also uses. Ram said it still plans a 2027 arrival.

## Key facts

- Built at Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, Michigan
- Jeep Grand Wagoneer REV, with the same powertrain, reportedly moved from May to November production
- No specific defect was named; the delay is for a smoother launch
- EPA range, towing, payload and price are still unpublished
