New V8-Powered Ram Street Truck To Be Revealed On November 4

Mopar is bringing a very green Ram to the SEMA show, but it’s not an EV.

The Stellantis parts and accessories division has released a teaser rendering for a Ram 1500 build that it will reveal at the show on Nov. 4.

The industry event is focused on aftermarket performance parts, which are often showcased on custom and prototype vehicles that preview upcoming options and even factory models.

The image shows the front end of the truck to the driver’s door in profile. There’s a Symbol of Protest badge on the fender that confirms it is a V8-powered model and a cowboy hat resting on the side view mirror.

The tire is right up against the top of the wheel well, which suggests the truck is dramatically lowered to the ground in a street performance stance.

Another standout feature is the bumper below the grille, which is jutting out beyond it, unlike the factory Ram 1500, which is more flush.

As with any good teaser, Mopar provided exactly zero additional information, so we’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out more.

Ram did recently reveal a new aftermarket street truck package it developed with Fox Factory, which gets a supercharged 650 hp version of the 5.7-liter Hemi eTorque V8.

The Ram isn’t the only vehicle that will be at the Mopar booth, however. It released a similarly vague sketch last week that showed the front end of a new Charger with what appears to be a different hood than the production model’s.

IT has two humps which could be intakes or clearance for a V8 engine’s heads. The Charger is currently offered with a turbocharged inline-six-cylinder, but Dodge is widely expected to add a V8 option soon and Mopar will almost certainly offer conversion kits for racing crate engine V8s.
