The 2025 Ramcharger launches in late 2024 for early 2025 delivery

Dodge announced the 2025 Ramcharger would begin arriving at dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2024, with most customer deliveries expected between January and March 2025. The truck is a revival of a nameplate Dodge last used in 1993, built as a full-size electric truck on the same platform as the Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra Denali Edition 1.

Exact delivery timing depends on your dealer's allocation, your configuration choices, and current production schedules. Dealers began taking reservations in mid-2024, and Dodge prioritized early reservation holders for the first production slots. If you haven't reserved one yet, your wait time will be longer than those who did.

The truck comes in two main versions: the standard Ramcharger and the Ramcharger 1500 Revolution, with different battery sizes and driving ranges. Both are built at the same factory, but production ramps gradually, so availability of specific configurations varies by month.

Key Takeaways

  • The 2025 Ramcharger began shipping to dealers in late 2024, with most deliveries occurring between January and March 2025.
  • Dodge prioritized early reservation holders, so your delivery date depends partly on when you reserved and what configuration you chose.
  • The truck comes in two battery sizes with different ranges, and not all configurations are available at the same time.
  • Your specific dealer's allocation and current production capacity will affect how long you wait once you place an order.

Reservation holders get first access to 2025 inventory

Dodge opened reservations for the Ramcharger in spring 2024 with a $100 refundable deposit. Customers who reserved early received priority for the first production vehicles rolling off the line. If you made a reservation, your dealer should contact you with a delivery window once your truck is built and assigned to their lot.

Reservation holders also locked in the initial pricing structure, which matters because Dodge has not announced whether 2025 pricing will change once initial production ends. Placing a new order after the first wave of deliveries may mean a different price or longer wait.

If you reserved a truck and have not heard from your dealer by early 2025, contact them directly with your reservation number. Dealers manage their own allocation schedules, and some communicate faster than others.

Two battery options create different delivery timelines

The standard Ramcharger comes with a smaller battery pack, while the Ramcharger 1500 Revolution includes a larger battery for extended range. Dodge initially prioritized Revolution models for early production, meaning standard Ramcharger orders may have longer wait times.

Battery supply constraints affect the pace of production for both versions. Dodge sources battery packs from LG Energy Solution, and any supply delays ripple through the assembly line. This is one reason why delivery dates can shift even after your truck is ordered.

If you are flexible on battery size, asking your dealer which version has the shorter current wait time may get you behind the wheel sooner. The trade-off is range and price, so weigh that against your actual driving needs.

Dealer allocation and regional availability vary

Dodge did not allocate Ramchargers equally across all dealers. Larger dealers and those with strong pre-order numbers received more trucks in the first allocation waves. If your local dealer has only one or two Ramchargers assigned, you may wait longer than someone at a larger dealership across town.

You can order a truck to be built and shipped to your dealer even if they do not have one in stock. This is called a factory order, and it locks in your price and configuration but extends your wait time to match the production schedule. Most factory orders for 2025 Ramchargers placed in late 2024 were quoted at 8 to 16 weeks from order to delivery.

Check with multiple dealers in your region if you are in a hurry. One may have inventory sooner than another, or may have a configuration close to what you want already in transit.

Production ramp-up affects availability through spring 2025

Dodge is ramping production gradually rather than at full capacity from day one. This is standard for new models, especially electric vehicles with new supply chains. Early 2025 will see steady increases in monthly production, meaning more trucks available each month but also longer waits for those ordering later.

March and April 2025 should see higher availability than January and February, straightforward because more trucks will have rolled off the line by then. If you are not in a rush, waiting until spring may give you more configuration options and shorter lead times for factory orders.

Dodge has not published monthly production targets, so your dealer's best guess is based on their allocation schedule and what they hear from the factory. Ask your dealer what they expect in the next 30, 60, and 90 days if you are trying to time your order.

Pricing and incentives may shift after initial launch

The 2025 Ramcharger launched with a starting price around $55,000 for the standard model, though this varies by region and dealer. Dodge has not announced whether pricing will change once initial production ends or whether early-buyer incentives will be offered.

Electric vehicle incentives at the federal level depend on where the truck is assembled and where its battery is sourced. The Ramcharger qualifies for the federal tax credit under current rules, but that credit is subject to change. Check the current IRS guidance before finalizing your purchase, as rules can shift.

Some dealers may offer additional discounts or incentives once inventory builds up and competition increases. Ordering now locks in the launch price, but waiting a few months might bring incentives that offset a higher sticker price.

What to do if your delivery date slips

Production delays happen. If your dealer tells you your truck will not arrive when originally promised, ask for a specific new date rather than a vague estimate. Request written confirmation of the new timeline so you have documentation if you need to adjust your own plans.

Some dealers will offer a loaner vehicle or rental discount while you wait if your delivery is delayed significantly. This is negotiable, so ask. You are not obligated to accept a delayed delivery if the wait becomes unreasonable, and you can cancel your order and get your deposit back if you choose.

Stay in touch with your dealer monthly. Production schedules change, and your truck may move up or back in the queue. Regular contact also ensures your dealer has your current phone number and email so they can reach you when your truck is ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a 2025 Ramcharger now if I did not make an early reservation?

Yes. Dodge continues to take orders for 2025 Ramchargers, but your wait time will be longer than early reservation holders. A factory order placed in early 2025 is typically quoted at 12 to 20 weeks, depending on configuration and current production capacity.

What is the difference between the standard Ramcharger and the Revolution?

The Revolution includes a larger battery pack for greater driving range, more standard features, and a higher price. The standard model has a smaller battery and lower cost but less range per charge. Both are full-size electric trucks; the choice depends on your driving patterns and budget.

Will the 2025 Ramcharger may have access to for the federal EV tax credit?

Under current rules, yes, but the credit is subject to income limits and assembly location requirements. The Ramcharger is built in the United States, which helps it may have access to. Check the IRS website or ask your dealer for the current credit amount, as rules can change.

What happens if I need to cancel my order?

If you have a reservation, your $100 deposit is refundable. If you have placed a factory order, cancellation terms depend on how far along production is. Contact your dealer when ready if you need to cancel; the sooner you do, the easier the process.

Can I change my configuration after I order?

Changes are possible early in the order process but become difficult once your truck enters production. Ask your dealer what changes are still possible and whether they will delay your delivery. It is usually faster to accept your original configuration than to wait for a modified build.
