In the ever-evolving realm of electric pickups, the 2025 Ram 1500 REV and the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning stand out as two of the most prominent contenders, each showcasing a distinctive blend of power, performance and innovation. The 2025 Ram 1500 REV, scheduled for release in the final quarter of 2024, promises a revolutionary electric driving experience, and here at Glenn Polk Auto, we’re eagerly anticipating its arrival in Gainesville, TX. While we wait, let’s take a look at what we know about the Ram 1500 REV so far and how it will compare to the popular Ford F-150 Lightning – one of the first of its kind.
Equipped with two battery pack options, the REV offers an impressive range of up to 500 miles. Towing capabilities peak at 14,000 pounds, and it boasts an acceleration to 60 mph in around 4.4 seconds. The 800-volt architecture for rapid DC fast-charging sets a new standard in electric pickup technology.
On the other hand, the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning offers up to 580 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 320 miles of range with the extended range battery. With dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, the Lightning achieves 0 to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds. The standard range model produces 452 horsepower and has a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds, while the extended range model reaches a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds.
The REV is expected to boast a towing capacity of 14,000 pounds with the smaller of the two available battery packs, providing substantial, gas-like capability for heavy-duty tasks. The Lightning, with variations in towing capacities, offers versatility with the standard range model at 7,700 pounds and the extended range model reaching an impressive maximum of 10,000 pounds for the power to haul.
With a closer look at the 2025 Ram 1500 REV and the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning, it's clear that these electric pickups cater to different preferences and priorities. The REV emphasizes an extended range and high towing capacity, positioning itself as a robust workhorse, while the Lightning blends power with practicality, making it a versatile choice for various tasks.

While it will still be some time before the Ram 1500 REV arrives in our Gainesville showroom, we are here to assist you with a custom order of the REV (when the time comes) as well as the Ford F-150 Lightning. No matter what you need, the Glenn Polk Auto team is here to help.
