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.
But arent trucks these days like pushing 100Ks anyways? At least here in my area, i keep seeing these premium trucks
@@joeyandres Right now in the parking lot where I am working today in Vancouver, Canada, I am see THREE GMC Sierra Denali 1500's, a Ford 150 Limited and Platinum, lots of RAM Longhorns and Bighorns and lots of Tesla Model 3's and Model Y's ALL of the pretty much brand new 2020 and later! SOMEBODY is spending big money on new expensive luxo-barge trucks and EV cars!
When Ford comes out with the Maverick Lightning FX-4 or RAM EV Dakota on Goodyear M/T Territory tires with the MAX Towing packages for $33,500 USD only THEN will all-EV trucks and cars REALLY start to take off for the general driving population in the USA and Canada!

Not even regular trucks are priced for regular people anymore
Imagine getting a rock chip in the windshield and having to then replace the whole roof.
Nah I died laughing
I drive Jeeps and that’s the first thing that came to my mind I get at least 1 chip every 2 weeks
@@jeepgladiator6706 me as well, that's why it popped to mind haha 😂
@@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.
@@jeepgladiator6706 I feel the pain...my new JL came off the delivery truck last year with a cracked windshield...the joys of jeep ownership!
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
Can't wait to be able to afford this 10 years after its released
Ya then it’ll be down to $20,000 and have over 200,000 miles on it 😀
They won't last 10 years
You won’t want this after ten years.
Don't worry, you won't be able to afford a replacement battery for it. EVs aren't meant to be driven by common people
Here’s what I notice about all new trucks. The beds are getting smaller, cabs are getting bigger, and the wheels are getting bigger
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.
Yeah there useless 😒 trucks🛻
I think he said this bed is longer than a traditional crew cab short bed ?
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.
We are in the age of ...."my car payment is higher than my house payment."
As the depreciation drops like a rock cause you're buying a computer now.
@@henryhill3778 I'm holding. Waiting for all of it to drop before buying anything..
For the financially irresponsible folks, maybe. I'll never be opposed to "newly used".
I wish I could buy a house for 100k around here.
@@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.
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.
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.
Can't wait for 10% of this to make it to production
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.
Now that was funny
@@Natethegreat200c 1999 Charger RT concept, 2002 Dodge M80 concept, 2003 Dodge Tomahawk...
@@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.
And the 10% who will actually be able to afford it.
Welcome to the era of the $200,000 pick up truck.
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.
That’s what people keep asking for a Rolls Royce with a bed
a work truck with a single cab, short bed and steelies like stubby for that price yeah
That one was a million
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.
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 know Andre didn't laugh, but I really enjoyed the "Big Horn vs. Red Delicious" joke. Dad-jokes forever!
new mascot is big mac from my little pony hahaha
The TRX is starting to sound like an affordable option!
And alot better looking also
Lol yup. The TRX is the best sounding truck ever!

I like it and think the folks over at RAM are making some waves. Love the fact that they're reimagining the entire concept of pickup truck.
RAM might be late but I'm sure they'll come out with a production version before the Tesla Cybertruck 🤣
100%
Doubt it, cyber truck will be built this year, cant see ram coming before 2025
@@danielstefanovic2604 That's what I heard Tesla fans say in 2021...
They won't. It's going to be later than the current Cybertrucks.
@@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... 🙄
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.
What year does it come out. I'm really in it for the sawblade feature.
This is actually why I'm going around buying all the pre emission diesel trucks I can find.
These are COMMIE LOCK DOWN TRUCK
Why not put a small $200 generator in them?????????????????????
LOCK DOWN - GOVERNMENT CONTROL

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.
Cartels are going to love the follow me mode. Walking and shooting while using vehicle as cover .
Roman is always so focused on looking for ways to correct Andre whenever he says something.
Typical Roman. The man knows everything...
Yeah, Andre is a saint. Surely he's lost his cool with Roman at some point. The "know-it-all" vibe gets old really fast.
Andre is the cash cow for TFL and he gets treated as second hand man.
Not surprised. He told me to commit self forever sleep in a comment thread before.
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.
except, _this_ one is *just* A CONCEPT TRUCK you’re wanting to buy, you doofus 😂
The track floor for moveable seating is by far the most useful feature for makinh it more utilitarian.
Until all the tracks are filled with mud, tiny pebbles, snow and ice. You’d need floor mats over top of them.
So if your vehicles a pig pin this features not for you.
Best part is the pass-through door to the cat's bedroom in front.
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!
Thank you for the kind words.
That truck is as real as the cybertruck.
It’s not even in production yet.
looks good though.
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.
Wooooow so proud of TFL and thank you Ram for allowing this video to happen!!!

YESSSSS been waiting for a truck with 3rd-row seating !!!! finally thank you RAM
What Cybertruck wanted to be…
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.
Wow, people really are stupid...
@@sipher3516 this truck is made for boomers. Lame and dead boring.
@@sipher3516 I have a feeling all the companies are throwing these into the wind tunnel and pops out a stretched Honda Ridgeline.
@@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?
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?
With u brother.
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
Where in NC? I'm in Camden County and we had no issues. Could've been that Duke energy issue?

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.
Same. 21 limited is amazing. No thanks. I’m not going electric
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 👍
You should've talked about how little room there is from the floor to the roof inside the interior. That is TINY.
Not a fan of ev trucks but this is sick. Ram stays on top
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.
yeah these will cost a FORTUNE right now
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.
@Lane M there are plenty of ICE trucks in the 6 figure range, Section 179 in the USA is one of the contributing factors!
@@coleeto2 I didn’t say they’re weren’t equally expensive internal combustion engine trucks.

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...

At 7:20 had me laughing because what truck guy doesn't know that a 2x4 and 2x8 are just width and height dimensions. A 2x8 is not longer than a 2x4 LOL! All else aside, I'd love to see folks watch me load 2x8x18s thru the engine compartment!!! Keep up the awesome videos guys!
Wow, this is amazing. Best looks of all EV trucks so far. I want it
Best direction yet for the look and function of an ev 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
I just don't think I'll give up my V8.
I just bought a 22 RAM Limited (red) Edition, HEMI without eTorque. It's my 5th new truck since 07 and I really like it.
I guess I'll have to keep it forever now. 😆
If you're drunk your truck can follow you home instead of driving 😂
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
The follow me mode would be great for passing through gates
You could take your truck for a walk or a jog. And when you get tired you can just get in it and drive home.
I’m actually thinking it could be useful in shipping containers or somewhere tight where you couldn’t open the doors to get in or out to park.
@@joshua7999 that’s the most American comment I have read in my entire life
In construction when you need to use the measuring wheel, the truck can follow you.
When you’re working fence on a large ranch.
This and the rivian are the 2 best looking ev trucks atm
I absolutely LOVE the cargo capabilities on this. Extendable bed, and pass through all the way through the frunk? Hell yes. Can't say how many times I've needed to pick up 2x4s, pieces of trim, pipes etc. that hang out way too much for comfort. Ability to haul things that long when needed is a huge selling point for me.
The pass through is amazing. I was carrying 16’ 2X10 this summer. They are a real pain!
The world is not ready for something like this
I'm siting down waiting for it to charge in in the winter...
Charges as fast as in the summer pretty much
The Ram is not late to the game. Super new technology and it’s coming along quicker than expected.
Where are the displays for the rear camera system (no exterior rear mirrors shown - just cams) ? Haven't seen them in the A-Pillar area like the Honda E or within the Doors like the Audi etron.
Its beautiful...I want one now...
Its concept so the bubble pops.
New bubble when production unit comes out.

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. 👎
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.

@@sixtomidnight1492 im surprised the whole dashboard didnt crack
These are actually bad ass I don't see why alot of people hate on these so much
Add 37in tires , you need to move the cab forward 1 feet for more box . You need space for atv or snowmobile in the box. Tail gate that doubles as a ramp and slight head to support skis .suspension needs to switch to offroad with 3.5 inch lift and cutty mode for low profile for efficiency. Flat frame is heavy or flimsy you need a gerder or a truss style frame. We need ev style trailer with batteries and slight powertrain that rync to your ev to lot reduce range and have you electric plug in so you can use your trailer power too to move your tools around from sigt to sigt without range anxiety.
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.
Welcome to 96 month car loans!
@@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.
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 ...
that opening for the pass through fronk needs to be larger for 12' boxes of siding, Chevy already did this with their escalade and avalanch where you could send those through the box inside.
Since it has a separate chassis maybe??? we will get a cab and chassis option. The big problem with the competition is well-side only.
I have a tall seated height, and that stripe at the top of the windscreen looks to low. On a regular vehicle with the top of windscreen stripe I have to change the windscreen to no stripe.
How well would a baby seat or booster seat fill into the jump seats? Is there room to fit a 3rd child booster seat in the 2nd row?
All in all, an interesting bunch of features.
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.
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.

I remember the extended cab 3 and 4 door models in the GM trucks, with the suicide doors, what a pain the ass in a parking lot, with cars on either side of you. Having to have the front doors open to get the rears open. That's why everyone went back to regular opening doors.
Tfl has been DEEP in the pockets of the ev lobby lately
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.
Your truck likely features eCall already, so it's already connected to the outside 24/7
Great looking in concept, interested to see what the production version actually has to offer. I own the F150 Lightning EV and have the Hummer EV on order so this would make a nice addition in 2024.
Might want to watch TFLtruck's video on the Hummer EV's lack of off-road capability at Moab and even electrical failures on flat highway... not being a brand fanboi or hater or such, just saying you need to know what to expect out of a >$100K "off-road" EV. I'm sure it will be much more reliable in a few years, but right now, yikes!!
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.
16 foot lumber but can't fit in a sheet of plywood.
@@DaveCM you could still haul plywood you would just have to prop up on tailgate or strap down with tailgate down.
Ok, that joke was legitimately funny… “Instead of a Big Horn Edition they’re gonna have a Red Delicious Edition?” 🤣
What a great looker,best yet.
Someone please explain to me what the plan is to charge all these vehicles? How can our power grid handle this without some MASSIVE upgrades?
They don't have a plan. They are just going to try to force this idea on the general public and when it doesn't go to their plan. They will walk away an wash their hands and let someone else fix it all
The us powergrid is worse than many in Africa, because instead of fixing it the money goes to more stealth bombers
Cool how those running boards fit.
Can't wait till the 4x4 off road one comes out
In order of importance - range extender/ exportable power ,concept bed storage (fold up sides), bed extender, mid-gate / pass through portal, and modular rear seat configuration.
I love my Lightning and have ZERO regrets switching from my ICE 150. Also, heads up people, you charge at home 99% of the time 👍
$80k Canadian for one, no thanks
I have a lightning as well its been at the dealership for a month waiting for a new battery 9000 km drove it for 4 months Don’t get me wrong I love the truck just very heartbreaking paying for a 100000 truck and stuck with a Escape as a loner. And was told it may take up to 6 to 8 months for a battery.
@@PROTINT3 mmmmm.... nice story, but you got proof?
@@PROTINT3 Epic Fail. Should have just bought an F150 hybrid, that way you get the best of both worlds.
@@itsNep_ Only paid $46,000 for my Lightning we use as a shop truck.
love the track mount seats please tell me the back ones are removable
I’m sure they would be! Crew seats are worthless to me. Would love to take out rear seats and open up for tool storage etc
@@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.
I doubt they are removable as they look powered. Maybe on production
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.
I live in Upstate NY. How long before the rockers and box sides rot off?
hmmm. I like that it isn't very tall. Is the new charger (and others) also frame based and will they share platforms with the truck (1 frame architecture, many body styles)? How heavy are those 24" wheel/tires? I'd hate to bend a 24" OE production wheel (ouch). Is it that difficult to put charging ports on both sides of the truck or 1 front and 1 rear to allow max charging flexibility???
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.
Of all the electric trucks, this is certainly the most interesting.
Definitely will never be used as a truck is intended!
But still not as interesting as a trx with a supercharged Hemi
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
Can’t wait! Looks great!
Extended warranty would be a must with this truck, not to mention how much the truck will cost.
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 this truck...had reserved a Cypertruck but cancelled and look forward to purchasing.
