The RAM 1500 can be ordered with a 3.6  Pentastar engine. That truck will produce more useable HP then a RAM REV with a depleted battery because of the efficiency loss inherent with series hybrid (Gemini say 7-15% loss for series hybrids).   That ICE RAM and a RAM REV with a depleted battery are both obtaining 100% of their power from the ICE, correct?   There is no additional HP being magically created just because there are electric motors involved. That would violate physical laws. Those electric motors are 100% dependent on the power the ICE and generator can produce. And because of the efficiency loss the RAM REV has less HP than the ICE RAM and it’s further burdened by the extra weight of the depleted battery.    The RAM REV can continue towing as long as there is gas in the tank (no range loss). That is after all its claim to fame. But it’s underpowered which means it is limited in speed and severely so on steep grades. A towing test of the Shark 6 (posted by jpd80 months ago) bore this out. It was limited to 45ish MPH after the battery was depleted.        

Help me out here.  Let’s say you run out of range and fill up with gas.  You still have a depleted battery.  Does the electric drive train run in a low power mode so the engine can provide enough of a charge to the battery?  Based on your description, the engine cannot adequately charge the battery to provide full power.  So what actually happens?  Seems to me that the engine would need to be big enough to provide as much charge to the battery as the motor needs.  

Happy 250th to all my American friends, hopefully the recent lowering of gasoline and diesel prices gives all of you some decent relief from escalating prices. During peak prices in Australia diesel got to $3.00/ liter which is about usd$7.70/gallon, gasoline a little cheaper. As a result of that, many Aussie buyers are turning their backs on legacy brands  and embracing the 4 or 5 major Chinese brands we have in Australia and Tesla too.   All types of electrified vehicles now on sale from BEV to PHEV to HEV and the truth is that buyers need to make up their own mind what works in their situation. What is being revealed is how much change is coming form gasoline side versus diesel. although the Shark 6 is now making serious inroads into sales. Unless people really need the towing capacity of a mid sized diesel pickup, those folks are voting with their wallets and switching to electrified Chinese vehicles. Japanese and Euro car brands are taking the brunt of the attack while the Koreans ae holding their own thanks to having hybrids and elecric vehicles…….the changing iod the guard with brands is quite breathtaking

Tell me you don’t actually know what happened without telling me you don’t actually know what happened…

I still don't think you lose speed - I think you just run out of range.  Guess we'll have to wait for the tests.

The Powerboost (22/24) is still better than the 2.7 (18/23). That is 22.2% better city. The F-150 Powerboost puts up impressive numbers for a full sized truck.

The issue is that I’m guessing that the use case of towing is “limited” to a point.    I haven’t seen a comparison of ICE vs hybrid when it comes to towing. Ford pairs the power boost with the 3.5L ecoboost already, which already have plenty of power to tow with but doesn’t really improve MPGs over say the 2.7L on the EPA cycle. I know if I was running fleet that the F-150 met my requirements for towing, I’d prob go with the 5L V8.    But I’m going to assume that with a pickup being used as transportation device, a EREV will do better MPG wise then a hybrid. It’s better choice overall MPG wise. 

Sometimes WISE and FORD don't go together! But anyway, it's just like when Ford created the Premier Auto Group with JLR, Volvo, and Aston Martin. Did you REALLY think Ford would want such an entity to succeed and hurt Lincoln sales??!!

I agree with Twintornadoes, your specific capacity ratings are listed on your yellow and white Tire and Vehicle Loading Information sticker.  That is the starting point.  From there, your capacities only decrease as you add things like people, a tonneau cover, etc.
