Ram Rev-eals the name of its electric pickup
Ram 1500 REV goes on sale next year
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ram hopes truck buyers will be revved up about its first electric pickup.
At the Chicago Auto Show on Thursday, Ram announced the official name of the production version of the Ram Revolution concept truck it revealed at CES last month.
The full-size truck will be called the Ram 1500 REV, which does not come as a complete surprise.
