@@lawmanbran8733 we have cracked windshields right now on our gladiator and wrangler lmao it’s longer to go thru the process of getting it replaced before a new one takes form . Last one I replaced 12 hrs later got a chip.
Yup I've noticed this too. You know why? They're almost all unibody and without a separate fully-boxed frame like let's say the Lightning has, the only way they can reinforce the rear box structure that has no roof is to substantially beef-up the bed sides in thickness. The cab is able to be larger because it has a roof structure to provide strength and obviously they push it even more, because the market for a $100K plus truck is probably not someone who is gonna be using the bed all that much.
Most people don't use them for work or taking them in the dirt. They are for running down to the starbucks. Crazy the bed is narrower than the Maverick.
@@brohammer Possibly. The upside of electric is you can push the cab forward some and get some bed back. Best of both worlds - 4 doors, real bed, frunk. Wish these existed 20 years ago when I surfed with my friends all the time.
Chrysler doesn’t do that. U need to look into Chrysler concept history. 300, wagonner , caliber and avenger were all concepts and stuck to their designs. Plenty more Chrysler group cars did as well. This brand doesn’t do much bs with concepts they will never build. This is going to be the next ram. Bet on it.
@@ringa8600 very few cars. Chrysler doesn’t have a lot of cars that where just concepts. Most make it into production. PT cruiser , prowler. I can keep going it’s a list of cars. Y’all won’t win that argument. And I did say “ this brand doesn’t do too much bs with concepts” meaning MOST not all of them are cars we were able to Buy. Of course they have a handful of just concepts but they have two handful and a half of concepts that made it to dealerships for us to buy.
@@tomm1109 Amen on that...used to be able to get a house for 100K. It seems like people have no problem maxing out their credit cards and living beyond their means to impress their friends and family. Home and vehicle pricing have been artificially inflated, but will come down eventually. It will take someone longer to get the value out of their home after they pay it off since they overpaid for it initially. We will see what the future holds.
Lets hope most of this makes it to production, especially that cabin. 6 seats would be amazing for 90% of truck owners that don't actually use the bed, but still have the option when they need it
The point of a truck bed used to be that you could fit more people in the truck bed. It’s actually legal in most places in a America to ride in the truck bed
Sorry Gibber I’m thinking more like $500,000 for this exact truck with all the bells and whistles. Your $200.000 is not going to have half of all the bells and whistles lol. Wtf is this world coming to. Let’s not forget how much it will cost if the computer fails and how long it would be out of commission. But it’s a really beautiful truck that I can only dream of owning lol.
It not hard already for idiots to pay $100,000 for a truck. There are good reasons why these companies push trucks , the profit margins are huge. This stupid thing is still excessively large, impossible to park, and dangerously heavy.
@@Xyler94 No, really.. there's drones daily. You can literally go see the tooling being set up. It's fine though. I'm sure Ford will make 17k more trucks this year and has Tesla by the BALLLLLS maaaaan... 🙄
Two Auto Geniuses explaining features in this video; whether I like the RAM brand or not, I still watched it till the end and liked the video. Excellent work!
Fantastic video much better than the other ones that are out already. Thank you for getting in the vehicle and showing us the seating and the instruments and explaining more about the bed.
The future (imagined): flying cars The future (actual): check out these light strips and storage cubbies! Sweet truck. I’ll take a 4WD ICE base model, please.
I am now completely convinced that I don’t want a EV in my near future. Especially a truck that I would be pulling with . The range and charging give me anxiety. 👎
Wow, RAM really came out swinging for the fences on this one, I'm impressed! Of course these cool features still need to make it to the production model.
That's a nice comment, I was sitting here thinking they basically copied the Silverado EV design and just went concept with wacko features on it, but I like your idea better. The actual Cybertruck looks like hot garbage, but this RAM looks like a futuristic truck if I've ever seen one.
@@sipher3516 You are stupid if you think this is going to be the production version lol. It will look like a regular truck and have none of the features advertised. Why should these guys be given the benefit of the doubt?
Great reveal! I am a huge Chevy guy, but I just bought an old 07 Ram. The Ram has been good to me so far. Maybe in 20 years I can afford one of these...
that's true since it's just the concept, the Hyundai Santa Cruz is not really a comparison for a real pickup but I remember seeing the concept of it and now my dad and brother each own one, and look great just way toned down
It’s definitely really slick. Main thing is towing capacity, range , bed size. It is still a truck. I think that slideable bed is awesome hopefully it’d have a lot of weight capacity and have the power to go back in with all the weight
I agree, but I also think it's a truck that will work for 90% of the truck owners out there for their 90% use cases. In the US, for more than a decade now, a truck has been "A Car With a Pickup Bed" - and we've seen that with the upper trims getting luxury features and NVH treatments that really rival older S-class Mercedes luxury and NVH. There will be a lot of keyboard warriors on RAM forums complaining that it doesn't tow 11,000 pounds 1000 miles without stopping - but the reality is that the Average American drove 14,263 miles in 2022 - or 39 miles per day - or 54 miles per weekday. Somewhere between 46% (homes with a garage) and 63% (occupied housing with a garage or carport) have access to 120v electricity at home. Even if you don't have a charger at home and just plug the thing into the wall with an adapter on a regular 120v/15a circuit from 6p-6a every day...and charge to 80% over the weekend. You start with 320 miles of range Monday Morning, and end with 196 miles of range on Friday night. For a gas truck, that's like starting with a full 25 gallon tank of gas on Monday, driving 280 miles back and forth to work, and ending the week with the needle just below "F". The analogy would be like taking it to the gas station by your house after work on Friday and only having to put *3.25 gallons in it* to bring it back to full. Not only is there not a gas TRUCK that can do that, there isn't a gas CAR that can do that. (80 MPG, City) If you're one of the 10% who routinely carries a shitton of weight or tows your 40' VOLTAGE toy hauler 5th wheel out to Glamis or Pismo Dunes or Ocotillo Wells SVRA or whatever every weekend - yeah, definitely get the Diesel RAM 3500 Dually for that until the *2034* RAM can fully replace it. Right tool for the job and all that. But for MOST people, the electric one will be just fine. :D
GVWR will never compete with diesel or gas. Like mathematically, it can't. Not until they develop some kind of super battery that can approach the caloric value of petrol, which will, of course, be incredibly dangerous because a device that stores that much energy is essentially a bomb.
@@JonathonBarton "The right tool for the job". I agree totally. My dad drives between 5200-6000 miles a year with his f150, uses it for truck stuff occasionally and burns through 1/4 of a tank a week. For him an electric truck makes sense given his use of it. I on the other hand have a lawn care business and move around a trailer all day. I tow more that what my truck is rated for only because I got an old truck with a v6 in it lol. But if I had a diesel, I'd be towing 6 or more tons of gravel, mulch, dirt, whatever. I tow now like 2 tons and put 200 or more miles a day. Electric doesn't make sense for me. My concerns are the battery life and cost of maintenance. I personally know several tesla owners with less than 40k miles and the batteries won't charge past %80. Plus I know a bunch of mechanics who won't touch an electric vehicle for various reasons. That means that the few who do work on them can charge a lot for their work right now.
it looks like a chevy avalanche or an SUV without the back seat covered...would be cool if they could make a work truck version that wasn't for a family of four to go road tripping in...like a version where you could work and stuff
Another $100k truck yay! Just what the world needed. Love the content guys. What's wrong with a truck with two motors, a battery, a simple radio with some usp ports and a bed. The thing I hate about all ev's is that the best range is class locked behind the top end trim level. Poor people can just stop driving so much.
What's the problem? The pricing will stabilize once proper efficient manufacturing and supply chain is up and running like any other new tech introduced to the consumer market.
My concept electric truck has 750 miles range,charges to 100% in 13 minutes,has sawblades that fold out of the front to enable you to drive thru woodlands or crowds. 5wheel steering, it will whistle at the hoes and biatches. And it can hover.
It’s certainly interesting as a concept truck and has some great design options. We’ve come a long way in truck design. Costs are already outrageous with the Hummer over 120 and I see grey market Rivian and Lightning prices in the six figures. At some point supply will meet demand and bring prices down. Until then it’s fun to dream.
I've been waiting to see how long a Tesla will go before having to replace the battery, and how much it will cost. So far batteries that need to be replaced I've seen go from 13-20k not including labor. We take long road trips. I can't see getting an EV that forces the driver/owner to find or planned syops at charging stations. I'm not completely sold yet.
Last Ram product I bought was a 2017 Ram 2500. And this will probably be the last. Keep your battery on wheels and enjoy all the ones that will sit endlessly and forever in dealerships show rooms.
Here in NC during colder than normal temperatures, we had rolling blackouts. Can you imagine what would have happened if everyone had an electric vehicle and was trying to charge it over night?
That’s something that none of these manufacturers making these vehicles or the jackasses in Washington mandating them have considered. If we all switched to EVS like the climate nuts wanted, there’d be massive blackouts. Our grid and infrastructure is not set up for this. I like EVs as a concept. I’d love to get off oil and tell countries like Saudia Arabia, Venezuela etc to pound sand. But like everything the government touches, they’re screwing it up.
@Randall Moore Yes, another huge bill to add on in addition to a six figure truck. I’ll totally hop on down to Walmart and pick it up tomorrow. Who cares if I can’t afford anything else, at least Greta thunberg will think im hip and “with it
I'm still getting used to all the advanced features of my 2021 RAM 1500 Limited, yet this makes it look archaic. It looks like something you would find in the bay of the Starship Enterprise for other world transport. We'll see which concepts actually make it to the production model but this could be game-changing.
A really unique design with lots of cool features and gadgets.....I'd be shocked if they went into production with suicide doors and the sticker price will easily top $125k, so that knocks the majority of truck buyer/users out of the running.
Keep in mind that this would be based on the highest trim level. A Tradesman version ain't gonna have all these bells and whistles and likely start around the $40,000 range.
@@Bryan154 The Ford F150 lighting started out in that price range as well, aka $40, now the entry level price is at $58k.....I'm beginning to suspect that these EV trucks are much more expensive to build than their ICE counterparts.
@@ericsandberg3167 Yeah, that price hike is ridiculous considering you can't even get 100 miles of range while towing in a Lightning. The price needed to lower $20k if they wanted to really push EVs, not rise.
Amazing looking truck with so many features where they thought outside the typical truck box! I would love to see how all the stuff actually works. Maybe next video.
Duh maybe Duh maybe we can all be forced to drive this crap. Well those who can afford everything needed to drive um. Duh can’t wait till yah ruin society all together duh.
Now that is world class. Thank you guys/Dodge for letting TFL preview this truck for the masses. Out of the few electric trucks on the market. This is the one I will put my money down on, and buy this truck. Simply world class/nothing else comes close to it.
I can't imagine ever having the ability to repair anything on these vehicles on your own, or the insane repair bills that will accompany EVs. The price needs to come down by half to be feasible for most people, maybe more. Buying used to save money (or just getting what you can afford) will scare the hell out of people knowing the repair bills that will come. I get that this same attitude come with new generations of both people and technology... but the price inflation of today makes things drastically different than that of 2 or 3 generations ago. I make SIGNIFICANTLY more than most people I know (as does my wife) and I still would be pushing it to buy a basic EV. Its now a second house payment with more expensive insurance and a very limited lifespan. For technology thats been out for so long according to so many, its not getting any cheaper.
Covered by 8yr 100k mile minimum on the pack's and most evs cover the powertrains for that long from the factory. Average truck sold in the U.S. in 2021 was over 61k. 🤔
EVs have been out too long for you to not know that maintenance costs are lower than comparable ICE vehicles. The vehicles are mechanically far simpler. It has been over a decade, the data is clear.
Yeah it's weird how the EV powertrain has way fewer moving parts, thereby improving repairability, but then auto makers are adding all this tech elsewhere that is likely to destroy repairability. Perhaps they are trying to make sure dealerships still have a steady stream of customers for their service centers ...
I know its a concept, but Pros I hope they keep: Pass thru, Tech, Follow me feature, power panel both front and bed, the whole frunk design, control features for the bed and such (should be moved to the instrument panel, love the tablet concept. Things I hope they change: Bed size (seems like its smaller at the cab, then gets bigger towards the tailgate), steering wheel (looks like Tesla, but understand the concept for a work feature), tracks on the floor (hidden better, but shown for concept so I understand). Curious to know about the seatbelts, towing and payload.
I could definitely see the “follow me” feature being handy for using the headlights when hunting. Keeping the light on the blood trail and keeping the bed nearby to load up your quarry.
It's loaded with a bunch of useless features to appeal to the people who want a suv that looks like a truck. The more they talked about the features, the less appealing it was becoming to me.
What I really like is how it’s distinctively Ram, there’s no mistaking it for it’s contemporaries. There’s a large focus on comfort And usefulness for not just the driver but the passengers too. It’s a useful utility, but also a people mover. And it’s going to look good doing it. My only thing is I’ll probably never buy one so long as Stellantis has any capability of taking features away after purchase, or enforcing a subscription on things that didn’t used to need one. I’m happy with my 2020 dumb truck that has no wifi or connection to the outside world, because I know when I go to start it up, everything will be exactly as I left it.
A great versatile SUV. We'll have to see if it becomes a pick-up truck when we get the load ratings, towing capacity, plowing capability, bed length options and whether it can work all day. Will be a long time before a 2500 or 3500 series becomes available.
I see this selling like the rest of the ev’s on sale today. Only affordable to a third of the country or less and it’s towing/payload capacity being diminished when utilized. Great idea, just not feasible for the populous now or the foreseeable future.
Airplanes already have a track system that allows 1 inch increments of movement with the seat track set up....their good for 16G's....so yes very doable.
It gets even better...if they install a track system in the floor...then you could order "RAM KID" child seat and just fasten it in the floor mounted rail system...oh, and it swivels 90 degrees so MOM can easily load up her baby....and when baby gets bigger...they got different size inserts for that mounted seat....imagine a toolbox on one side and your kid on the other...
Dodge..put provisonal emf collector mounts on the bottom....eventually they will make far right interstate lanes with wires below the concrete...for charging while driving mode...remember those slot cars as kids...same deal...put a 45 mile stretch every so often...UNLIMITED range and no stopping.
I'm gonna hold out 10 -15 years while all the long term bugs are worked out of the hybrids. If i can't get 300k out of it with proper PMs, then it's not worth it.
Ram was smart, they let everyone come out with their EVs, read what everyone hated and came out with a futuristic truck in real time. As a TRX owner I’m honestly impressed and didn’t think Ram would be able to out due a TRX. Ughhhhhh I guess I’m saving for the TRX version of this, about to put my wife on only fans.
@@mplslawnguy3389, you clearly haven’t driven anything new recently. Most of the technology feels 5+ years old already, even in a ‘22 model year vehicle. I’d know, I have one.
@@CornFed_3 "Old-feeling" technology doesn't mean bad technology. Tried and true works. Prime example is Toyota, which is reluctant to constantly innovate.

It'll be pathetic. Electric semi trucks don't exist because. . . why? Because they're terrible compared to a diesel semi truck. Hook up a 5000lb trailer and your range drops by 60+%. Do the same with a diesel pickup and it almost doesn't care.
They are pathetic. I am now completely convinced that I don’t want a EV in my near future. Especially a truck that I would be pulling with . The range and charging give me anxiety. 👎
Yeah I don't see the point in these pure electric trucks as a working vehicle. Unless you have super fast like V4 megawatt chargers everywhere and like at least a 200kWh battery it will just be a pain compared to using diesel (or gasoline). FOr most people though, they are not towing all the time or taking heavy loads. I think a PHEV design could be very effective and would dramatically reduce fuel costs. There are currently no PHEV pickup trucks...
I know production model won't be as wild as this, but depending on range, including towing and cold weather (in Canada) and price I MIGHT be interested.
Dodge/Chrysler/Ram has been the best at turning concept into reality for the last several decades. This thing is way over the top! I can't wait to see what it's like when it makes it to market. Even toned down, it could be really cool.
@@davidnewkirk2438 how about removable "Ram Boxes" that can easily be secured into those same racks. Similar to the Milwaukee system? They seem to have that same track in the bed, and with heavy duty slides and a barn door tailgate you can bring your tools to you instead of climbing/reaching in all day.
From what I've read the jump seats are removable and can be mounted on the tailgate. Possibly for tailgating? The 2nd row seats are also removable for all kinds of cargo configurations.
Potential for seating > 5 is an excellent move by Ram. Hope they maximize the versatility of the floor track system by providing optional front flip up seat, and/or total seating for 7. Would like to see how practical those flip down jump seats will be re: comfort and leg room. Unless those are efficient optional solar panel grids in the roof glass, lose em, as they are visually very obtrusive. Keep the cost for well equipped & competitive range @ or below $50k USD and you'll take the market share and them some. Looks promising... We'll have to wait and see.
I love the interior. Would definitely make getting kids in and out of their car seats easier. Not sure about the safety without a b pillar though haha, I’d be super surprised if this made it to production haha
Doors like this seems great until kids are big enough to get in and out on their own. Then it sucks to open the front door to open the rear door. I tried it with my bmw i3s and after a year I was over it.
Most accurate actual use case this truck will see 😂 great for driving my kids to soccer practice and loading all the shit I got at Costco. It looks like it may outperform the Raptor R as a grocery getter.
Range on ANY EV is so short as to be useless for anyone that drives for a living. When they get it to where I can drive 4 hours, stop to pee, get a drink, and top off the tank in 15 min, then go again, I'll think about it. Till then, they're just fancy expensive playtoys for liberal tree huggers trying to make themselves feel better
I really like it. Especially the rear seat area. It would be nice if the rear seats were easily removable I'd always leave them out and put a dog bed back there. If range and price is right I'm interested
I love all the features. Pretty sure most will not make it into production. The extendable bed would be useful! They missed the storage over the wheel wells of the bed. I like it!
I really like the tracked seating system, would be good for making room for large things that you don't want to put in the bed. Might be an issue with debris getting in there though. The passthru is pretty cool, good for bringing a few 10-12ft boards home without them hanging a few feet out the bed. But only holds a few. But would allow you to put other things in the bed. I know it's a concept but a big no to 24" wheels and glass roof and all those other screens. And def no suicide doors, unless RAM has revolutionized this, they all friggin rattle. If I ever get an electric truck, I want it to have no more features than the Ford XL Pro, that's already quite a lot. Give me more battery and more utility. Keep it simple and more reliable. Or cram as many canister type LFP cells as you can in there, even at a bit reduced range and cold weather perf. I'd take the 5x lifespan and no cobalt/nickel for that tradeoff. The truck will rust out by the time those batteries die.
@@Someonehad2sayit right but aluminum does corrode. Especially if you live in a state that uses salt in the winter. I can promise you aluminum does corrode bad and then starts falling apart
@@wilhathaway1987 True, but it does take longer. The biggest thing is to make sure the AL is separated from touching other metals to avoid galvanic corrosion.
EV vehicles tend to weigh more than their counterparts, and have a lower center of gravity, so I’m sure the possibility of a rollover incident occurring is greatly reduced
A three row pickup, I admit I'd considered the possibility, although I was looking at large E series vans with room for a respectable bed behind the first three rows. The bed on this one looks a little small for a full size truck, and I'm not a fan of rubber band tires but those are always on concept vehicles these days, hopefully the production model will be a little more practical.
I am now completely convinced that I don’t want a EV in my near future. Especially a truck that I would be pulling with . The range and charging give me anxiety. 👎
I might pull the second row seats to use as a storage area. Then keep the folding 3rd row seats just in case they're needed. Most of the 150 and 1500 series pickups have 5'6" and 6'6" beds, except for the rare single cab fleet models. One has to go to the 250/350/2500/3500 series to get the 8 foot bed with the crew cab. I like the center pass-through, but I would like it to be about 20'6" or so.
Once again, Mopar puts out a stunning and awesome concept car that the bean counters and share holders will destroy by penny pinching it to death, using the lowest bidder for everything, while overworking and not listening to some of the awesome engineers and assembly teams that work there who want to put this thing out there. Mopar is completely capable of putting out a world class vehicle if the middle managers would stop shooting themselves in the foot worrying about quarterly earnings to the detriment of long term customer retention.
I truly agree, specially with the last words, Bombardier Aviation doing the same, I think they all go to the same kind of preacher manager courses, panicking 4 times a year for their bonusses!
I bet the fully hammered goes $200k and guess what - they'll sell a ton of them. Loaded Limited edition trucks right now are already pushing $100k... they'll ask for it - and get it.
@@4literv6 don't care. Let them be. To me, no truck is worth more than $40k. I hope the "chicken tax" gets repealed so Chinese/South American trucks come in at $30k and start eating the big boys' lunches. These prices are complete insanity
It would haul 16 ft baseboard, and the pass through is a huge benefit. I would not buy one until any bugs were worked out,and the selection had different model levels. Too much technology can be invasive, my 2022 Back Country sometimes wants permission to my phone to use the phone charger. It does not need everything on my phone to put in the charging slots,just charge my phone without my personal info. It will turn on my Bluetooth when I have turned it off. So now all the new trucks are becoming more advanced, and most likely they will self drive,monitor your driving habits, and then send the information to your insurance company. Your location is being saved to map where you go to track, risk factors for insurance.
Insane. I hope it has towing above the competition. Anything over 9k would be amazing. Always loved suicide doors. I think 75-80k price would hit the sweet spot.
follow me feature would be awesome for jobs like picking up firewood or installing fence posts around the property. I always have to decide either let my diesel idle the whole time or start and stop it all day(not ideal for the engine). Also having to climb in and out of the cab just to move it every 50ft to get to the next pile of firewood or next work area is more wear and tear on the doors and interior.
@@Born-Bitter yes thats a good idea too, it would nice if they stay away from unibody and at least have an option for cab and chassis models. So flatbeds can be an option. And bring back long beds
I like the look of it on the inside and outside, the mid gate, and the split tailgate. I would take or leave the frunk passthrough and sliding seats. I'd skip the all glass roof/windshield thing. I'm skeptical that the extendable/sliding bed would be cost effective and reliable. Overall, it's a cool looking concept, but a concept vehicle almost always leads to heartbreak. Give this thing 4 wheel steering, air suspension, low 4 second 0-60, and range like the Silverado EV and it would be awesome. I'd even say less electric range and a range extender would be the best combo.
thank you very much for this video and explaining the situation about Ram Revolution EV Truck, now I am more aware about the subject and I share your point of view totally as it is a subject that is not much talked about nowadays.
So, I dig the midgate, the use of the sliding bed tray-seriously, anyone laughing at the idea underestimates how easily you can throw your back out overextending it even with a few light items into a bed. Love the third row seating idea and the tracks on the floor, but I’d personally rather have the option to not have a third row, and have a rear bench that’s split, that can both slide separately, but also fold down flat. Elevate the bed a bit so you can fold the midgate down and have a flat load floor all the way through. Hopefully the production version has the window glass go into the midgate when you wanna fold the gate down.
If the range unloaded is 400+ miles (or even better, about 200 miles of range plus a range extending engine) and it keeps most of these features, I will definitely consider a Ram again (which would be my first Dodge/Ram pickup since my 1998). Nice work Ram!
I loaned every generation of ram since the T100. And the 2019 and up Ram is unbelievable and the reliability is top-notch tied with Tundra for number one. You really ought to look into it
The last comment is the most accurate. I don’t know if I could ever afford it. Until they are priced for regular consumers none of it really matters.
Looking at the interior its designed specifically for NBA players. I'm sure it will also be priced for NBA players.
If you look at any industry, with new technology they make the expensive, high margin items first. Then gradually start making consumer grade models.

Best direction yet for the look and function of an ev truck
Production version will obviously be toned down a lot but I like the overall design. Some pretty cool features.
Agreed, I’m always concerned about FCA (now stellantis) execution. Their design is fantastic but QC and Fit and Finish concern me most.
FCA is known to produce more concepts than any other, although I’m sure it will lack many of these features.
Notice how it's very Cybertruck without looking stupid.
that's true since it's just the concept, the Hyundai Santa Cruz is not really a comparison for a real pickup but I remember seeing the concept of it and now my dad and brother each own one, and look great just way toned down
not bad for a $180 grand truck
It’s definitely really slick. Main thing is towing capacity, range , bed size. It is still a truck. I think that slideable bed is awesome hopefully it’d have a lot of weight capacity and have the power to go back in with all the weight
Is a Ridgeline a truck...? 🤔
I agree, but I also think it's a truck that will work for 90% of the truck owners out there for their 90% use cases. In the US, for more than a decade now, a truck has been "A Car With a Pickup Bed" - and we've seen that with the upper trims getting luxury features and NVH treatments that really rival older S-class Mercedes luxury and NVH. There will be a lot of keyboard warriors on RAM forums complaining that it doesn't tow 11,000 pounds 1000 miles without stopping - but the reality is that the Average American drove 14,263 miles in 2022 - or 39 miles per day - or 54 miles per weekday. Somewhere between 46% (homes with a garage) and 63% (occupied housing with a garage or carport) have access to 120v electricity at home.
Even if you don't have a charger at home and just plug the thing into the wall with an adapter on a regular 120v/15a circuit from 6p-6a every day...and charge to 80% over the weekend.
You start with 320 miles of range Monday Morning, and end with 196 miles of range on Friday night.
For a gas truck, that's like starting with a full 25 gallon tank of gas on Monday, driving 280 miles back and forth to work, and ending the week with the needle just below "F". The analogy would be like taking it to the gas station by your house after work on Friday and only having to put *3.25 gallons in it* to bring it back to full. Not only is there not a gas TRUCK that can do that, there isn't a gas CAR that can do that. (80 MPG, City)
If you're one of the 10% who routinely carries a shitton of weight or tows your 40' VOLTAGE toy hauler 5th wheel out to Glamis or Pismo Dunes or Ocotillo Wells SVRA or whatever every weekend - yeah, definitely get the Diesel RAM 3500 Dually for that until the *2034* RAM can fully replace it. Right tool for the job and all that.
But for MOST people, the electric one will be just fine. :D
GVWR will never compete with diesel or gas. Like mathematically, it can't. Not until they develop some kind of super battery that can approach the caloric value of petrol, which will, of course, be incredibly dangerous because a device that stores that much energy is essentially a bomb.
@@JonathonBarton "The right tool for the job". I agree totally. My dad drives between 5200-6000 miles a year with his f150, uses it for truck stuff occasionally and burns through 1/4 of a tank a week. For him an electric truck makes sense given his use of it.
I on the other hand have a lawn care business and move around a trailer all day. I tow more that what my truck is rated for only because I got an old truck with a v6 in it lol. But if I had a diesel, I'd be towing 6 or more tons of gravel, mulch, dirt, whatever. I tow now like 2 tons and put 200 or more miles a day. Electric doesn't make sense for me.
My concerns are the battery life and cost of maintenance. I personally know several tesla owners with less than 40k miles and the batteries won't charge past %80. Plus I know a bunch of mechanics who won't touch an electric vehicle for various reasons. That means that the few who do work on them can charge a lot for their work right now.
Single cab 8ft box is a pickup. More grocery getters for the Karen crowd
it looks like a chevy avalanche or an SUV without the back seat covered...would be cool if they could make a work truck version that wasn't for a family of four to go road tripping in...like a version where you could work and stuff
Another $100k truck yay! Just what the world needed. Love the content guys. What's wrong with a truck with two motors, a battery, a simple radio with some usp ports and a bed. The thing I hate about all ev's is that the best range is class locked behind the top end trim level. Poor people can just stop driving so much.
What's the problem? The pricing will stabilize once proper efficient manufacturing and supply chain is up and running like any other new tech introduced to the consumer market.
Well stop being poor bud. $100k really isn’t alot.

This and the rivian are the 2 best looking ev trucks atm
It’s certainly interesting as a concept truck and has some great design options. We’ve come a long way in truck design.

Until then it’s fun to dream.

I've been waiting to see how long a Tesla will go before having to replace the battery, and how much it will cost. So far batteries that need to be replaced I've seen go from 13-20k not including labor.
We take long road trips. I can't see getting an EV that forces the driver/owner to find or planned syops at charging stations.

Mind blown!! The engineers have been working hard on this. Can’t wait to see the production version.
A really unique design with lots of cool features and gadgets.....I'd be shocked if they went into production with suicide doors and the sticker price will easily top $125k, so that knocks the majority of truck buyer/users out of the running.

Tfl has been DEEP in the pockets of the ev lobby lately
I can't imagine ever having the ability to repair anything on these vehicles on your own, or the insane repair bills that will accompany EVs. The price needs to come down by half to be feasible for most people, maybe more. Buying used to save money (or just getting what you can afford) will scare the hell out of people knowing the repair bills that will come. I get that this same attitude come with new generations of both people and technology... but the price inflation of today makes things drastically different than that of 2 or 3 generations ago. I make SIGNIFICANTLY more than most people I know (as does my wife) and I still would be pushing it to buy a basic EV. Its now a second house payment with more expensive insurance and a very limited lifespan. For technology thats been out for so long according to so many, its not getting any cheaper.
Covered by 8yr 100k mile minimum on the pack's and most evs cover the powertrains for that long from the factory.
Average truck sold in the U.S. in 2021 was over 61k. 🤔
EVs have been out too long for you to not know that maintenance costs are lower than comparable ICE vehicles. The vehicles are mechanically far simpler. It has been over a decade, the data is clear.
Yeah it's weird how the EV powertrain has way fewer moving parts, thereby improving repairability, but then auto makers are adding all this tech elsewhere that is likely to destroy repairability. Perhaps they are trying to make sure dealerships still have a steady stream of customers for their service centers ...
Wow actually impressed! The whole design is awesome. Love the ability to haul 16 foot lumber. The seating being on a track system is also impressive.

Things I hope they change: Bed size (seems like its smaller at the cab, then gets bigger towards the tailgate), steering wheel (looks like Tesla, but understand the concept for a work feature), tracks on the floor (hidden better, but shown for concept so I understand). Curious to know about the seatbelts, towing and payload.
Hope it dont malfunction and run over ya. And when would you use that.
I could definitely see the “follow me” feature being handy for using the headlights when hunting. Keeping the light on the blood trail and keeping the bed nearby to load up your quarry.
It's loaded with a bunch of useless features to appeal to the people who want a suv that looks like a truck. The more they talked about the features, the less appealing it was becoming to me.
@@corndogg78 okay? Then don’t buy one when the toned down production model releases.
Floor tracks dont work on truck. What happens when dirt sand mud get in them?
What I really like is how it’s distinctively Ram, there’s no mistaking it for it’s contemporaries. There’s a large focus on comfort And usefulness for not just the driver but the passengers too. It’s a useful utility, but also a people mover. And it’s going to look good doing it.
My only thing is I’ll probably never buy one so long as Stellantis has any capability of taking features away after purchase, or enforcing a subscription on things that didn’t used to need one. I’m happy with my 2020 dumb truck that has no wifi or connection to the outside world, because I know when I go to start it up, everything will be exactly as I left it.

A great versatile SUV. We'll have to see if it becomes a pick-up truck when we get the load ratings, towing capacity, plowing capability, bed length options and whether it can work all day. Will be a long time before a 2500 or 3500 series becomes available.

I see this selling like the rest of the ev’s on sale today. Only affordable to a third of the country or less and it’s towing/payload capacity being diminished when utilized. Great idea, just not feasible for the populous now or the foreseeable future.
How is that any different from tahoes and $65k trucks? Seems many people are willing to cancel retirement savings to pay truck payments these days.
people just are not buying ev's, for good reason.......sorry, joe
I'm pretty skeptical on them getting those jump seats approved in the back but I love the idea.
They've been using jump seats for years as long as they have shoulder belts .
Airplanes already have a track system that allows 1 inch increments of movement with the seat track set up....their good for 16G's....so yes very doable.
It gets even better...if they install a track system in the floor...then you could order "RAM KID" child seat and just fasten it in the floor mounted rail system...oh, and it swivels 90 degrees so MOM can easily load up her baby....and when baby gets bigger...they got different size inserts for that mounted seat....imagine a toolbox on one side and your kid on the other...
Dodge..put provisonal emf collector mounts on the bottom....eventually they will make far right interstate lanes with wires below the concrete...for charging while driving mode...remember those slot cars as kids...same deal...put a 45 mile stretch every so often...UNLIMITED range and no stopping.
I say the solution to electrifying pick-ups is: hybrid half-tons, efficient diesel HD's or maybe hydrogen HD's, and BEV compact trucks
A plug in half-ton that can go 30-40 miles in city would be a game changer to me.
This idea makes so much sense. Therefore, it won’t happen 🙄
Hybrid half tons and mid size trucks. Then let the Maverick and other "mini" "trucks" be EV.
Or how about diesel hybrid with Ford I was hoping they put that 7.2 kilowatt power on board on their new Super Dutys.
I'm gonna hold out 10 -15 years while all the long term bugs are worked out of the hybrids. If i can't get 300k out of it with proper PMs, then it's not worth it.
Ram was smart, they let everyone come out with their EVs, read what everyone hated and came out with a futuristic truck in real time.

He did the ford lighting. It did not get over 100. Miles
Yeah I don't see the point in these pure electric trucks as a working vehicle. Unless you have super fast like V4 megawatt chargers everywhere and like at least a 200kWh battery it will just be a pain compared to using diesel (or gasoline). FOr most people though, they are not towing all the time or taking heavy loads. I think a PHEV design could be very effective and would dramatically reduce fuel costs. There are currently no PHEV pickup trucks...
This is gonna be over $100,000
That is an impressive truck! Can’t wait to see the production version!
The bigger question is will it be built in the USA. Stellantis has been sending our cars overseas.
I know production model won't be as wild as this, but depending on range, including towing and cold weather (in Canada) and price I MIGHT be interested.
Cold weather aka chargers that won’t charge below zero
It will suck like every other ev truck.
Range for a work truck in more northern remote areas.
Don't expect too much from all those gimmicky ev vehicles....

No display in front of the driver is an absolute deal breaker.
Potential for seating > 5 is an excellent move by Ram. Hope they maximize the versatility of the floor track system by providing optional front flip up seat, and/or total seating for 7. Would like to see how practical those flip down jump seats will be re: comfort and leg room. Unless those are efficient optional solar panel grids in the roof glass, lose em, as they are visually very obtrusive. Keep the cost for well equipped & competitive range @ or below $50k USD and you'll take the market share and them some. Looks promising... We'll have to wait and see.
Well equipped and below or at 50k? You'll be lucky to get one at 80k
I love the interior. Would definitely make getting kids in and out of their car seats easier. Not sure about the safety without a b pillar though haha, I’d be super surprised if this made it to production haha
Motor Trend is already reporting that the doors are concept only. It’ll have traditional doors and a B pillar for production.
Safety is driving so no one can hit you. The best is if they are disappearing in your rear view camera.
Extended cab trucks haven’t had b post for years, but at least they had some kind of metal between the glass
Doors like this seems great until kids are big enough to get in and out on their own. Then it sucks to open the front door to open the rear door. I tried it with my bmw i3s and after a year I was over it.
Most accurate actual use case this truck will see 😂 great for driving my kids to soccer practice and loading all the shit I got at Costco. It looks like it may outperform the Raptor R as a grocery getter.
500 mile range is a good range. Hope they can make that happen.
That's 220 miles pulling and 110 miles with heat on while pulling.
Not if your towing a boat 😳
Looks like they are double stacking barreries. So two 250 mile battery packs.
Keep in mind advertised max range for EVs is usually done on a city route or speeds. Highway driving will likely result in less range.
Range on ANY EV is so short as to be useless for anyone that drives for a living. When they get it to where I can drive 4 hours, stop to pee, get a drink, and top off the tank in 15 min, then go again, I'll think about it. Till then, they're just fancy expensive playtoys for liberal tree huggers trying to make themselves feel better
I'd love this for the camping and outdoors 🙂
I really like it. Especially the rear seat area. It would be nice if the rear seats were easily removable I'd always leave them out and put a dog bed back there. If range and price is right I'm interested
How's 250k sound?
@@JonathanRootD about $200k to much
Yeah, the seats definatley looks to be removable.
The price won't be 'right'.
@@bookooc5605 lol I know it. It will be stupid, idk who is buying all this expensive stuff
I love all the features. Pretty sure most will not make it into production. The extendable bed would be useful! They missed the storage over the wheel wells of the bed. I like it!
Believe it or not. A lot of features may end up in final production. It’s been going this way for a few years now.
I really like the tracked seating system, would be good for making room for large things that you don't want to put in the bed. Might be an issue with debris getting in there though. The passthru is pretty cool, good for bringing a few 10-12ft boards home without them hanging a few feet out the bed. But only holds a few. But would allow you to put other things in the bed.
I know it's a concept but a big no to 24" wheels and glass roof and all those other screens. And def no suicide doors, unless RAM has revolutionized this, they all friggin rattle.
If I ever get an electric truck, I want it to have no more features than the Ford XL Pro, that's already quite a lot. Give me more battery and more utility. Keep it simple and more reliable. Or cram as many canister type LFP cells as you can in there, even at a bit reduced range and cold weather perf. I'd take the 5x lifespan and no cobalt/nickel for that tradeoff. The truck will rust out by the time those batteries die.
Aluminum trucks don't rust
@@Someonehad2sayit Not all of it. Most frames are still steel unless they start going to structural AL castings for everything.
@@Someonehad2sayit right but aluminum does corrode. Especially if you live in a state that uses salt in the winter. I can promise you aluminum does corrode bad and then starts falling apart
@@wilhathaway1987 True, but it does take longer. The biggest thing is to make sure the AL is separated from touching other metals to avoid galvanic corrosion.
You know how many Cheetos and French fries a kid could get stuffed in there?
The Ram Revolution EV Truck is a force to be reckoned with!
I wonder how well it would handle a rollover without a super strong B pillar. Especially with the weight of a vehicle this size.
Squish
EV vehicles tend to weigh more than their counterparts, and have a lower center of gravity, so I’m sure the possibility of a rollover incident occurring is greatly reduced
They made it so heavy so it won't roll over, although maybe, after a few more crash tests they'll rename it the RAM Turtle.
The captain goes down with his ship
The doors won't make it to production. Remember when the Navigator concept was unveiled.
They NAILED IT!
A three row pickup, I admit I'd considered the possibility, although I was looking at large E series vans with room for a respectable bed behind the first three rows. The bed on this one looks a little small for a full size truck, and I'm not a fan of rubber band tires but those are always on concept vehicles these days, hopefully the production model will be a little more practical.
I am now completely convinced that I don’t want a EV in my near future. Especially a truck that I would be pulling with . The range and charging give me anxiety. 👎
I might pull the second row seats to use as a storage area. Then keep the folding 3rd row seats just in case they're needed.
Most of the 150 and 1500 series pickups have 5'6" and 6'6" beds, except for the rare single cab fleet models. One has to go to the 250/350/2500/3500 series to get the 8 foot bed with the crew cab.
I like the center pass-through, but I would like it to be about 20'6" or so.
Once again, Mopar puts out a stunning and awesome concept car that the bean counters and share holders will destroy by penny pinching it to death, using the lowest bidder for everything, while overworking and not listening to some of the awesome engineers and assembly teams that work there who want to put this thing out there. Mopar is completely capable of putting out a world class vehicle if the middle managers would stop shooting themselves in the foot worrying about quarterly earnings to the detriment of long term customer retention.
I truly agree, specially with the last words, Bombardier Aviation doing the same, I think they all go to the same kind of preacher manager courses, panicking 4 times a year for their bonusses!
All for the affordable price of $100,000 plus.
The trx with any markup or fully loaded have been 6 figure trucks for year's now. 🤔
I bet the fully hammered goes $200k and guess what - they'll sell a ton of them. Loaded Limited edition trucks right now are already pushing $100k... they'll ask for it - and get it.
@@4literv6 don't care. Let them be. To me, no truck is worth more than $40k. I hope the "chicken tax" gets repealed so Chinese/South American trucks come in at $30k and start eating the big boys' lunches. These prices are complete insanity
@@4literv6 the average customer aren't buying trx's
@@douglas685 average of the over 3,000,000 trucks sold in 2021 was over 61k bud. Get with the times or gtfo. 👍🏻
Think I will wait a good 5 years till they figure this stuff out.
naw make that 10. They may produce to the public in 5 but id wait 10 for the bugs and the 5 year wait list to clear
Hopefully all companies use there heads and stick to gas and diesel cause its so much better for the environment than electric
It would haul 16 ft baseboard, and the pass through is a huge benefit.
I would not buy one until any bugs were worked out,and the selection had different model levels.
Too much technology can be invasive, my 2022 Back Country sometimes wants permission to my phone to use the phone charger.
It does not need everything on my phone to put in the charging slots,just charge my phone without my personal info.
It will turn on my Bluetooth when I have turned it off.
So now all the new trucks are becoming more advanced, and most likely they will self drive,monitor your driving habits, and then send the information to your insurance company.
Your location is being saved to map where you go to track,
risk factors for insurance.
Would the Rumba charger be Mobil, obviously if it finds the charging port by itself, then it would be cordless.
I would prefer gas that is more efficient at vaporization of the gas itself
Most of the fuel we use goes out of the tail pipe.
Almost makes me want an electric truck!!! ALMOST
Insane. I hope it has towing above the competition. Anything over 9k would be amazing. Always loved suicide doors. I think 75-80k price would hit the sweet spot.
Ha. Will be half of cybertruck towing. MMW. And yeah, it needs to be 80k or less for the tax credit. If it's not it's not selling.
@@EVMANVSGAS Good point 👍
follow me feature would be awesome for jobs like picking up firewood or installing fence posts around the property. I always have to decide either let my diesel idle the whole time or start and stop it all day(not ideal for the engine). Also having to climb in and out of the cab just to move it every 50ft to get to the next pile of firewood or next work area is more wear and tear on the doors and interior.
Huh, that's a pretty good use case. I was trying to think of something that would be useful for.
Chucking out bales of hay every so often with out having to get dirt in the cab.
That's just silly. Let your diesel idle, it doesn't care, and you won't hurt it.
@@life_of_riley88 my wallet hurts is all 🥲 i burn minimum 35 gallons a week in fuel. lots of it is idling/ low speed trails
@@Born-Bitter yes thats a good idea too, it would nice if they stay away from unibody and at least have an option for cab and chassis models. So flatbeds can be an option. And bring back long beds
I like the look of it on the inside and outside, the mid gate, and the split tailgate. I would take or leave the frunk passthrough and sliding seats. I'd skip the all glass roof/windshield thing. I'm skeptical that the extendable/sliding bed would be cost effective and reliable. Overall, it's a cool looking concept, but a concept vehicle almost always leads to heartbreak.
Give this thing 4 wheel steering, air suspension, low 4 second 0-60, and range like the Silverado EV and it would be awesome. I'd even say less electric range and a range extender would be the best combo.
thank you very much for this video and explaining the situation about Ram Revolution EV Truck, now I am more aware about the subject and I share your point of view totally as it is a subject that is not much talked about nowadays.
So, I dig the midgate, the use of the sliding bed tray-seriously, anyone laughing at the idea underestimates how easily you can throw your back out overextending it even with a few light items into a bed.
Love the third row seating idea and the tracks on the floor, but I’d personally rather have the option to not have a third row, and have a rear bench that’s split, that can both slide separately, but also fold down flat. Elevate the bed a bit so you can fold the midgate down and have a flat load floor all the way through.
Hopefully the production version has the window glass go into the midgate when you wanna fold the gate down.
If the range unloaded is 400+ miles (or even better, about 200 miles of range plus a range extending engine) and it keeps most of these features, I will definitely consider a Ram again (which would be my first Dodge/Ram pickup since my 1998). Nice work Ram!
I loaned every generation of ram since the T100. And the 2019 and up Ram is unbelievable and the reliability is top-notch tied with Tundra for number one. You really ought to look into it
