Hennessey, Roush Performance and Fox Factory brought five very different custom Ram trucks to Michigan, ranging from a 1,000-horsepower street truck to a lifted Ram 2500 riding on 37-inch tires.

The Hennessey Maximus Rumble Bee uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing more than 1,000 horsepower. Hennessey says its goal is to push this Ram street truck beyond 200 mph.

Roush Performance shows us its 2027 Ram 1500 Direct Connection package. Built on a Big Horn with the returning 5.7-liter HEMI V8, it is designed to fill the space between the Ram Rebel and Ram 1500 RHO.

Finally, Fox Factory walks us through three builds: a Ram 2500 Direct Connection HD with 37-inch tires, its interpretation of the Ram 1500 TRX and a lowered DC650 street truck producing approximately 650 horsepower.

Which one of these five Ram trucks would you put in your garage?

This Jeep Grand Cherokee is what the SRT team calls its “rolling laboratory.”

Under the hood is a modified 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output engine producing roughly 90 horsepower more than the standard version. It is also equipped with a new eBoost Air system designed to eliminate turbo lag.

The system uses a 48-volt electric compressor to provide immediate airflow when the driver hits the throttle. This allows the engine to use larger turbochargers for greater power without waiting for them to spool.

Patrick Rall takes a closer look under the hood, explains how the eBoost Air system works and shows the experimental Jeep Grand Cherokee launching from both outside and inside the vehicle.

Could this technology preview the next high-performance SRT powertrain?

What new truck would I buy with my money? Here's my pick; what's yours?

Ford has revealed the Fathom, a new electric pickup expected to start around $30,000. But is this affordable EV truck destined to become a major sales success, or is Ford overestimating the demand?

In this Truck News Recap, Publisher Tim Esterdahl explains what we know about the Ford Fathom, how its size and price could compare with the Ford Maverick, and why the Slate truck may be its most important competitor. He also breaks down who might actually buy a compact electric pickup with roughly 200 miles of range.

Other news this week includes our first Pickup Truck + SUV Talk full-size truck award, the latest 2027 Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 changes, Toyota Highlander reliability problems and what we learned while towing a camper with the GMC Sierra EV.
