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.

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.

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

@@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.

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.

Ok, I'm a 100% Mopar guy, and a residential General Contractor. This truck is a joke right? Is it for Hollywood and Manhatten Islanders? How do I haul gravel, top soil or beauty bark in that bed without a bed liner to cover all the channels, said bed liner then cancels out the tie downs on side of bed and negates the mid tailgate thing. How does a lumber rack or tool box or canopy fit with the back of the cab design? Suicide doors, really? With all doors open as demonstrated, that Ram is as wide as it is long. Any designers been to a local grocery store parking lot within the last 30 years? Being from Washington state, where it is rumored it rains once in awhile, can you close the drivers door in a down pour while your slow passenger is taking their time getting in the back door, or is it like the old 1990s era suicide doors where close the back first, then the front door. That one piece windshield and roof piece of glass must cost a pretty penny. My truck parks outside, we have trees, trees loose branches in windstorms, and on construction sites where sometimes something goes up by accident and must come down eventually. The 18 foot tunnel seems cool, unless you have to open the cab interior up to the elements such as rain that will slosh back and forth as you accelerate and brake. Why spend a million dollars on this design unless it is to stroke the ego of a couple of designers? I guess my 2 year old grandson can watch it go up for auction in 40 years as a barn find and sell for 15 billion credits. Really, this is what they came up with?
