The upcoming Ramcharger full-size SUV could arrive with a supercharged V8, a split or lay-down tailgate and multiple power levels, according to a YouTuber known for Stellantis-related leaks and insider information.
Ramcharger Could Get the Ram TRX’s Supercharged V8
Ram is preparing to expand beyond trucks with SUVs, and the Ramcharger name is now expected to be used for the brand’s first-ever SUV with a V8. The range-extended Ram 1500 REV, which has been delayed by up to nine months, was originally expected to arrive under the Ramcharger name.
According to TK of TK’s Garage, the upcoming full-size SUV will reportedly feature a front end inspired by the Ram TRX. The rear design has not yet been finalized, although it may resemble the Ram REV.
The Ramcharger will reportedly be built on the same underlying architecture as the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and could feature either a split tailgate or a lay-down tailgate.
More notably, the SUV is said to be getting the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 used in the Ram 1500 SRT TRX, where it produces 777 horsepower.
Three Ramcharger Power Levels Reportedly Planned
The reported powertrain lineup could give the Ramcharger three different output levels, similar to the Ram Rumble Bee models.
- 5.7-liter HEMI V8: 395 horsepower
- 6.4-liter 392 HEMI: 470 horsepower
- Supercharged HEMI V8: 777 horsepower
If the same Direct Connection upgrades available for the Ram 1500 are also offered for the Ramcharger, output could potentially exceed 900 horsepower.
That would put the reported Ramcharger output above the Lamborghini Urus SE Performante, which produces 800 horsepower with electric assistance.
How the Ramcharger Could Compare With the Wagoneer
The reported V8 would distinguish the Ramcharger from the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The Wagoneer’s most powerful engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Hurricane straight-six producing up to 540 horsepower.
If the report proves accurate, the Ramcharger could also surpass the 682-horsepower Cadillac Escalade-V in output.
What Remains Unconfirmed
Reports like this should be treated cautiously, particularly because the Ramcharger is expected to use the same architecture as the Wagoneer, which does not offer a V8 option.
Still, a high-performance variant, or potentially three of them, could introduce the Ramcharger nameplate with a strong connection to the performance-focused side of the Ram brand.
There is also the possibility that V8 range-topping models could be sold alongside more affordable Ramchargers powered by straight-six engines. That could potentially allow pricing to start below $60,000.
Confirmation remains unclear, although announcements are expected to trickle through late this year or early in 2027.
