New Delhi [India], October 4: The truck market is entering a new era, and Simi Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is ready to lead the way. With the arrival of the 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Laramie, Southern California drivers can finally experience the perfect blend of electric innovation and traditional truck toughness. This isn’t just a concept — it’s a production-ready hybrid truck designed to tackle towing, hauling, and everyday commuting without compromise.

For drivers exploring the latest lineup of Ram trucks, the Ramcharger Laramie stands out as one of the most exciting releases yet. You can start browsing current models today in the new Ram inventory at Simi CDJR, where you’ll find a wide range of trims and configurations to fit your lifestyle. When the Ramcharger arrives, it will add a revolutionary new choice to that lineup.

A Familiar Name with a Modern Twist

The original Ramcharger from the 1970s was a big, bold SUV that built a reputation for power and capability. Now, the nameplate has been reimagined for 2026 as a range-extended electric pickup truck. Instead of a gas engine powering the wheels directly, the 2026 Ramcharger relies on dual electric motors, while a gas engine acts purely as a generator to recharge the battery or supply power when needed.

This setup delivers:

• 145 miles of all-electric range for daily commuting.
• Up to 690 miles of total range with generator assistance.
• Instant torque and a quiet ride in EV mode.

It’s the smartest way to enjoy electric driving without the anxiety of being limited by charging stations.

The Laramie Trim: Where Luxury Meets Capability

The Laramie trim has always represented a balance of refinement and ruggedness in the Ram 1500 lineup. In the Ramcharger Laramie, that balance becomes even more impressive thanks to advanced hybrid engineering paired with upscale features:

• Leather-trimmed seating with available heating and ventilation.
• A large Uconnect touchscreen with EV-specific menus and controls.
• Chrome detailing and LED lighting for a commanding presence.
• A digital driver display showcasing charge, range, and power flow.
• Premium sound and comfort features for long trips or daily drives.

It’s the perfect cabin for drivers who want more than just a work truck.

Performance: Power That Impresses

Hybrid doesn’t mean weaker — in fact, the Ramcharger Laramie proves the opposite. Ram engineers have built a system that surpasses many gas-only models:

• 647 horsepower from the dual-motor setup.
• 610 lb-ft of torque, available instantly.
• 0–60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.
• 14,000 pounds of towing capacity.
• 2,625 pounds of payload capability.

This truck isn’t just efficient; it’s one of the most powerful pickups in the segment.

Built for California Drivers

Southern California drivers face unique demands — long freeway commutes during the week and weekend trips to the mountains, deserts, or coastline. A fully electric truck can make those adventures stressful, but the Ramcharger eliminates range anxiety.

Daily driving in Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, or Ventura can be done entirely on electric power. For road trips, the gas generator ensures you’ll always reach your destination without searching for a charger. It’s a truck designed with California lifestyles in mind.

Gas-Powered vs. Ramcharger

The 2026 Ram 1500 lineup still offers strong gasoline powertrains, including the Pentastar V6, Hurricane inline-six, and the returning HEMI V8. While those trucks boast towing up to 11,610 pounds, the Ramcharger goes beyond that, while adding electric flexibility.

It’s not a replacement — it’s an expansion of choices. Drivers who love the feel of gas can stick with it, while those ready to explore hybrid innovation can choose the Ramcharger without giving up strength.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing has not been officially announced, but experts predict the Ramcharger Laramie will start in the mid-$60,000 range. That’s competitive with electric trucks from Ford, GM, and Tesla while offering longer real-world usability.

Deliveries are expected in late 2025, with full showroom availability throughout 2026.

Final Thoughts

The 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Laramie represents the next step in truck evolution. It pairs electrified performance with proven Ram durability and the upscale comfort of the Laramie trim. For drivers in Ventura County and beyond, it’s a chance to own a truck that does it all — daily EV driving, long-range travel, and heavy-duty towing.
