I did a basic overview review a while back on it. Link in the description! , but I would like to do a full review at some point. I think it will be every where but the US, but in time I think it could make its way here. In the mean time the Ford Maverick is a great option!
Whoever buys Ram/Jeep/Dodge is going to get a great deal. They are buying at the rock bottom of the value. 4 years ago, the value of the Ram/Jeep/Dodge brands under FCA was massive. Now, it has to be worth so much less. Very interesting that Stellantis ran it into the ground then wants to sell versus selling back when it was max value.
Stellantis is moving towards vehicles that won't sell. Some may be badly designed and built, some may be simply overpriced. Some might be hybrid but they are way behind in EV models.
@@CTECH-REVIEW The Ram charger, a hybrid for sure. But have you examined the numbers? The maximum output for the generation is fed to fairly small batteries. If a typical weekender hooks up the boat and heads up the mountain... after about 50-60 miles it will run out of battery power and end up limping along about 30 mph until you get to the top of the grade, If a person from Ontario California for example were headed to Silverwood Lake - how long do you think the trip would take climbing Cajon pass?
@@rogerrussell9544 Yes I have made a few videos on it...I cant wait for more information for me to share on it. I read it has a 130k watt generator to not allow it to limp mode when towing. I hope this is true. Feel free to check out my videos on this truck!
@@CTECH-REVIEW 130 KW, but what is the rating on the EV motor? Towing especially on grades takes a lot of power. The range for simply towing with the lightening is about 100 miles for a reason.
I bought a ram last year. More than happy with my purchase but i wouldn't say my experience is typical. Ram finally catching up on reliability but now they are more expensive than the other brands. I can say right now with a fair level of confidence my next truck will be a gm product. Cause im not paying thousands for brand loyalty. I want the product thats reliable. That fits my needs only, no extras. And i want it for the cheapest price. I doubt byd gonna give me that. Tbh i wasnt looking for a Ram it just came up and i got a new work truck with a pentastar for only 33500.
Ram is a shit truck. High reports of water intrusion. Dodge isn’t what they used to be. Go watch the Jeep grand wagoneer that took a shit at 44 miles. Garbage ass Chrysler has been shuffled from the US to Daimler to Fiat to Stellantis and now China BYD.
Ram would be pretty easy to replace. People would just slide over to ford or GM. Jeep is a much tougher call. It’s iconically American. I had one when it was owned by American Motors. I think it would anger people to know it’s now owned by China. Although if they began selling it at so low of a price where they’re way less than they are now I could definitely see people buying them. Americans have no loyalty when the deal is too good to pass up.
@@TheMonkdad Hey, some perspective is needed. MANY WW02 vets were angry that VW was sold in the USA. Ditto, WW02 Pacific veterans would NEVER buy a Japan gas car [or any product]. The hate mongering over 'made in China would be near zero had not Mr.Trump using it to protect failing usa companies.
@@garyh.8082 it seems like you are on a period and got offended by my hypothetical comment. But to answer your question, I work at Fort Moore, Georgia. Let me know when you pass the gate to discuss about my salary.
Well your already wrong Stellantis is not headquartered in France they are headquartered in Hoofddorp Netherlands. The move away from the Hemi to the Hurricane is partly EPA based, but mainly it is a world market move. There are countries that have a 3.0 liter cap on engine displacement. As far as China buying Ram Chrysler or Dodge. I’m sure they would love to own it but Your assumption that Stellantis would want to sell one of their best assets is flawed. Yes they are having quality control issues but that can be fixed.
Hurricane I6>Hemi V8, and prices are chugging along right there with inflation (it’s your salary that’s not keeping up). Pickup trucks are the notable exception on getting way more expensive, but that’s happened over about 20ish years as they went from being undesirable work vehicles to family cars.
This writer, no friend to the Communist system, these types spent 18 months of my time in VietNam trying to kil me, has a comment. I HOPE BYD does buy out Stelantis . One, the taxpayers would not, again, have to bail out a USA car company. Two; BYD builds some fine quality, well priced EVs. They would compete with the current EVs sold here, most of which only Al Gore could afford[have you seen the price if the EV Silverado!!?]. And they would force the other car makers to compete or die=free market system. For the record books; this writer is on his 02nd EV--a 2019 Kia Niro BEV. A used EV price fits this pensioners budget. He would buy a new BYD 'Seal' should they make them in the USA at 'peasant prices'.
I agree. If letting in an evil player wakes up the others than so be it. I'm done with patriotism for American companies when those same companies are preying on us. It would make me more than happy to see Ford and GM struggle as they try to keep pace with a company that can deliver something actually affordable.
So they spent 18 months working to get the US invaders out of their damn country and you have a problem with that? Oh, and the Chinese are completely different to the Vietnamese - two completely different civilizations. I do agree that BYD buying Chrysler would be a great deal for the US.
This move would give BYD a dealer network in USA to sell BYD Shark electric cars
Yup, it would be a huge in for them
@@Mike-f5r Might still not be allowed to sell China made vehicles in the US.
Please review the byd shark. Do you think they would sell well in the us. It has everything a car needs.

@@CTECH-REVIEW thanks
what are they getting exactly.. the pacifica minivan? whhy
Great question!
They're getting a name brand thats tarrif free!

Agreed…maybe Tesla buys it?
@@CTECH-REVIEW I don't know, anything is possible. I don't see Musk spending money on anything but EV when it comes to vehicles, but I could be wrong.
Stellantis is moving towards vehicles that won't sell. Some may be badly designed and built, some may be simply overpriced. Some might be hybrid but they are way behind in EV models.
Everything your saying is true! Thanks for watching, I am excited about the RHO, and the Ram Charger truck though!

Stellantis is cooperating with Chinese start-up company Leapmotor. At least part of Stellantis is moving in the right direction.

They'd better not buy RAM before I get my Ramcharger. I need that vehicle to come out.
No joke. I can’t wait for that truck.
Great video! Love ram and jeep but dont like stellantis
Thanks Its been interesting watching what they are doing this company. Sad.

@@harriettanthony7352 I guess the difference is that VW wasn’t an American company that was purchased by Germany. We’ll see if anyone cares.
As long as the quality doesn’t go down I don’t care
I can understand that. No one wants lower quality!
It won't if it's the big brands like byd or geely or saic.
How could it go down?
Let us know where you work, therefore we can avoid paying excessive compensation for your salary.
Do tell please..

RAM with BYD Shark's powertrain, count me in.
wow interesting idea there, thank you for watching!
I hope that don’t happen
Its looking its not happening!!
@@CTECH-REVIEW I love my ram but if it did happen my next whould be ford 150 v8
I'd love to be able to buy a good looking, 2 door EV AWD truck with a solar bed cover made in America.
That would be cool! I think we will see options like this in the future. Self charging !

Thanks for watching. I am excited for my 3.0 ram Hurricane. Seems to be an awesome power train.
This is why the chargers when ev is to sale to China 🇨🇳 they are the ev leader of the world . Everything changes.
Thank you for watching!
Who would want to buy a $12k BYD Seagull that has been rated as an excellent EV? ha ha, lots and lots of people. Tariffs are keeping them out for now.
Thanks for watching! You get it!!
Most people buy GM, Ford and Rsm because they don't want to buy a far east product from Toyota. If BYD buys ram, sales will fail,
It will be interesting to see how this plays out!
It is all because they stop making V8s
That is a big part of it! And prices got to high.

No. It's because the future is electric.

Thank you for the comment and for shairing. I got to see a BYD seal last month in person and was impressed by the price, quality and looks of it.

It would make me more than happy to see Ford and GM struggle as they try to keep pace with a company that can deliver something actually affordable.

Ram RHO 🤷🤦
about to find out!
Even better reason to not buy there expensive lies and crap
Thanks for watching!
i fukin hope not.
I will keep on this and share updates.
