Filosa Confirms Ram’s Upcoming Full-Size SUV For Warren Truck

Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa has officially confirmed what we first reported earlier this month — Ram will be getting its own full-size body-on-frame (BoF) SUV built right here in the U.S. The announcement came during Stellantis’ Q3 2025 shipments and revenue investment call this morning, cementing Ram’s next major product expansion as part of the company’s $13 billion investment in its American manufacturing footprint.

A Major Boost For Warren Truck Assembly – 

Filosa revealed that the upcoming SUV will be produced at the Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Warren, Michigan — the same facility currently building the refreshed Jeep® Grand Wagoneer (WS). Stellantis will invest nearly $100 million to retool the plant, which is expected to add more than 900 new jobs once the program ramps up. This investment forms part of Stellantis’ broader plan to increase U.S. production capacity by 50 percent over the coming years.

The new SUV will share its body-on-frame platform with the Grand Wagoneer, meaning it will ride on a proven, heavy-duty chassis capable of handling serious towing and payload numbers. This move marks a major step for Ram, which has long lacked a true full-size SUV in its lineup since the discontinuation of the Dodge Durango’s body-on-frame predecessor, the Ramcharger, in the early 1990s.

ICE And REEV Powertrain Choices – 

Filosa confirmed that the new Ram SUV will come with both traditional internal-combustion (ICE) powertrains and a range-extended electric (REEV) setup — the same system used in the upcoming Grand Wagoneer REEV and Ram 1500 REV REEV.

That technology combines a liquid-cooled 92 kWh battery pack with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine acting solely as a generator. The V6 doesn’t power the wheels directly; instead, it produces electricity for the vehicle’s front and rear Electric Drive Modules (EDMs). The front EDM produces 250 kW of output, while the rear EDM produces 238 kW and features an available electronic locking differential. Together, the system delivers 647 horsepower and over 610 lb-ft of torque in the Ram 1500 version, enabling a 0-60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds.

Expected Performance And Range – 

Because of its shared architecture with the Grand Wagoneer REEV, the new Ram SUV should have nearly identical specs. However, due to packaging constraints related to the third-row HVAC system, the Grand Wagoneer REEV uses a 20-gallon fuel tank instead of the 27-gallon setup found in the Ram 1500 REV. This reduces range slightly — to around 500 miles versus 690 miles in the pickup — but still offers excellent real-world capability. The Grand Wagoneer’s system produces 647 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque, launching the massive luxury SUV from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds flat. Expect the Ram SUV to perform in the same ballpark.

What Will It Be Called? – 

Filosa did not reveal a name, but speculation is already swirling after Ram “pulled the plug” on its all-electric 1500 REV earlier this year and shifted the REV badge to the range-extended Ramcharger REEV, leaving the Ramcharger nameplate open — a perfect fit for a large, family-oriented SUV steeped in Ram heritage.

A Strategic Move For Ram – 

Adding a full-size SUV makes perfect sense. It gives Ram a direct competitor to vehicles like the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Ford Expedition, while leveraging the Jeep Wagoneer family’s existing architecture and technology. More importantly, it expands Ram’s brand presence beyond pickups and into the lucrative full-size SUV market — a segment that continues to see strong demand in North America.
