@@MrCabledawg45 Um no.... I can see $70.00 for the base trim and $120k for the top trim.

Concept was better.

The Silverado EV is starting production with the work truck trim

@@bahamatodd That’s probably to get the workers accustomed to building a whole new vehicle architecture. If they started with top of the line models the production line would probably crawl for a long time. It makes sense to start with the most stripped down version and add more complexity as the workers get familiar with the new production processes.

I'd like for them to be for sale the day they debut, not 3 years out and never ending up like they were in the debut.

Agree. What happened to trucks that do real work? Such as throwing a shovel in the bed or hauling fertilizer. Also being the most popular guy when someone needs help moving to a new house. I'll be afraid to let any of the luxury trucks do any real work and perhaps scratch the paint a little. Same true for all EV trucks.

@@bahamatodd at least that's what been announced. The F150 Lightning's pro trim came out on day one, but they build them in very VERY limited numbers. Of course now it's stupid expensive.

you're probably pretty close if that one comes with the larger battery..

If it's more than 28k, won't buy it.

Hemi wife beater man.

@Snarf Snarf yeah didnt realize how big of a battery this would have. And to be fair to the OP, the Hummer EV which is technically a midsize is also an 8-lug due to it's incredible weight too.

@@ALMX5DP the everado trucks are all 8lugs to. Yet the cybertruck, lightning and rivian are all 6 lugs. 🤔

Some lower spec models also tow 14K pounds, so 8-lug makes sense.

@@4literv6 yeah true, though Rivian is a 5-lug design I believe. It’s not necessarily about how many lugs it has, but rather the diameter of the hub which is where the bearings reside. Ford chose to keep its 1/2 ton setup for the Lightning (probably indicating we won’t see substantial increases in its weight or capacities). Ram and GM chose to use what I believe are takeoffs from their heavy duty trucks knowing they’d be pushing for higher limits. Not sure what Rivian uses but it and the CT likely have bespoke hubs for those platforms that are sized appropriately.

@@ALMX5DP wait the rivian at nearly 7k empty is a 5 lug setup? 😐

2.08 to 2.18 mi/kW range seems achievable, the lower-able front is a big part of my rationale. Also, Ford eTransit was pretty conservative with its range estimates.

Even still if this truck gets 80% of the of its claimed range it should still be one of the longest range evs out

@@glennkverneland833 my suspicion is that figure will be on more of a city driving cycle as opposed to highway use. My guess is around 1.8 miles per kwh for highway driving.

That applies to all products including ICE vehicles.

My car goes exactly as advertised

How do you like your R1T? I actually see more of those than the Lightning in my area.

Same here, will probably sell my Lightning Pro for the REV

This vehicle is on the STELLA Frame platform, the concept truck you're referring to I believe will be the new mid-size truck on the STELLA Large platform.

If they would have brought out the concept it would have been a lot more then the production rev

You'd have to go at a certain speed and no hauling/towing and it still won't do 500.

Normal people wont want this truck in 10 years and itll still cost too much in 5 but i bet itll be depriciated a fortune in 5 years because everyone will sell them before the 10 year mark so they dont have to worry about buyers scared of the battery. I think an engine and transmission replacement on my old accord is cheaper than just the battery on this thing

😂😂

Yeah in 10 years the battery will be toast. BEVs biggest problem are the batteries. You can keep an engine running for decades with proper maintenance and replacing wearable parts. Not so for batteries. We need battery costs to come down and manufacturers to design vehicles in a way that allows for easier replacement of them.

Exactly !! Even though the Sierra to me looks nice

My biggest problem with EV vehicles, they try to hard for a futuristic EV look. Put a cosmetic bumper on there, give me normal head and tail lights, and we are good

The concept was way cooler

I like how it isn't designed by someone from the 80s that imagined what an electric truck would look like myself. The only thing I don't like is how Ram continues to put SUV (Jeep Grand Cherokee) front ends on the 1500s.

Yeah I likes the concept way better. This looks too much like the current current gen. Looks like a mid cycle refresh

It’ll still get more than that being the gas motor will be charging the batteries at the same time. It’ll probably get 200-300 which would be crazy.

Agreed. It looks better than the Lightning.

Ford already shot their Wad and it was a huge disappointment, just as they had to chase the 2019 Ram

dodge is the most unreliable brand ever😂😂😂

@Desert Fresh it does. These dodges are gorgeous on the inside. Ford makes amazing trucks but the level of plush on the inside can use some upgrades. Dodge is eating their lunch on the interior.

I have a 2021 ram 1500 limited,, haven’t had a single problem,, not everyone has problems with a brand,, I will say some have problems but my truck is good,, I also have a f150 and have had a 2017 f-250,, had more problems with that truck than any truck I’ve ever bought and I am a ford person,, I wanted to try the ram because I wanted something different,, but I’ve had several dodge products and the limited is my 3rd ram 1500,, none of them were junk,, each truck I went to was a higher trim level,, I can speak for the quality of the brand because I’ve owned them,, all brands have issues,,

500 but dont charge it below the bottom 75 or top 75 so its probably more like 350 regular miles and thats before you drive it in the winter after its 10 years old right before it needs a new battery that costs a fortune. HOWEVER this is a ram i can say will never have a transmission issue. my old accord has way more range and costs 6k used rn tho

​@TheAnnoyingBoss wanna bet it still magically has transmission issues....and that 500 mile range is if you don't use it like a truck. Hook at 4k trailer to it and see how far it goes..

Don't fall for it. It won't go 500 miles.

500 miles, down hill and with a tailwind maybe.

Gullible

Exactly

I wonder if we will see crumple zones start to disappear and more reliance on seat belts and airbags because at a certain point your crumple zones don't do enough to slow the impact and you have to protect the cab. Of course we might see vehicles get bigger to expand those zones but that brings with it all the other issues like weight, maneuverability, aerodynamics, etc... I think that on the infrastructure side we have been falling behind on upgrading weight limits anyway so this might be the thing that finally gets the government moving on it.

No different than having a 1ton Everyone here in Canada drives 1 tons don't even waste their time on half tons

And what about those 80k semi trucks and trailers

@@lesstevens2370 The lives of many truckers and shippers would be greatly improved if allowed to run heavier through more places instead of only a few routes in some places.

Don't forget that vehicles form the 60s and 70s were tanks. Cars weighted a lot back then. A 1970 Lincoln continental weights almost 5,000 lbs. I'm all for vehicles getting heavier. They become safer.

And that’s what keeps people like me out of them. I don’t have a daily typical commute. I might drive across Texas one day. I need to fill up in 10 minutes or less. I’m not disparaging, I’d love a new lighting but it’s just not practical yet.

@@gs-pd5ox It's not practical for everyone yet for sure, and that's cool. Maybe someday they will have one that works for folks in your scenario.

Most air suspension in passenger vehicles suck. Every manufacturer.

Not to mention the design is underwhelming as it’s a rebadged job of the existing ICE RAM. It looks like another lazy attempt compared to the Silverado and Sierra EV.

​@@mybro727 isn't that what Ford did? Exactly what Ford did.

At that point they'd probably have to cut into the battery capacity, and then people would probably complain about range anxiety. It's a no win situation. But it's got to at least be competitive with the f150 lightning.

You'll be lucky to find one for under $100k the way the dealers are acting.

At current prices and knowing how much money they are losing on every EV vehicle they produce i would be shocked if the base model is

@@Kaiser333333 wouldn't be surprised. The base lightning is 56k with a 98kwh standard battery, about 230 miles. The base Ram has a 168kwh battery for it's 350mi range. Which is massive as a base battery. Ram does have that nice interior reputation too, so that will add cost if they're going to maintain it.

nah, im hearing 75K target starting from dealers, the battery pack alone is $20k+ (about the same cost as a 5.7+8sp)

More to do with aerodynamic properties of whatever trailer it is. If it has 500 miles of range (presumed "city" range since EV's do better over that type of drive cycle), can probably anticipate ~400 miles of highway driving, then multiply that by 0.4-0.6 giving maybe 160-240 miles of towing range.

Just buy an E-Stream camper and it will push you along. Pay no mind that it doesn't exist and the combo will cost you over $200K.

400 mile of highway driving if you take battery to 0%, who does that? Most will be looking for chargers at 30% battery remaining, then only recharging to 80% to save time.

@@derekk6906 It's the equivalent of driving on 1/2 tank of gas, then having to spend at least an hour to recharge (if you're not waiting for the EV in front of you to get theirs). I'll pass.

If you are towing a boat that far often you are doing it wrong. Clearly need the get a slip.

I don't understand this no compromise attitude from ICE owners. You have to regularly take your truck to a gas station and stand in someones chew spit, pay $80 to the oil industry, change oil, and filters, service the engine and transmission, replace parts like alternators and sensors, all so you can go 300 miles without stopping. An EV you charge at home for a couple of dollars, with American made electricity providing local jobs, no maintenance, no check engine light, just get in and go. My big block powered 1 ton gets 10 mpg and has an 18 gallon tank, that's 150 miles, so I have to stop every so often on long trips, it's no big deal. What about the fact that you can't buy an electric pickup with less than 500 hp, and you can go out right now and buy a truck with over 1000 hp, and just wait for the Cybertruck, that thing is gonna be nuts. But you like that all aluminum turbocharged computer controlled piece of junk that keeps you tied to your dealer with no choice and sucking the teat of the oil barons, paying whatever they say?

So ull buy a Silverado EV but not a RAM?. your acting like the 5.7 was a good motor for the brand.

To me it's more about infrastructure and charge times. Range can be where it is currently as long as there is a reliable place to charge back up quickly.

Even then, the batteries longevity is a major bottleneck. I've seen plenty of EV's with 60K miles and had to replace the batteries. (Which can easily cost over $30K).

Gas powered cars don't get 1000 miles per fill-up, so are they not worth spit as you say. 500 miles of range is significant and fast charging is also. The problem, Mike, is the price of these EV's are unobtainable for an enormous amount of the population.

They actually do want to do that. Toyota/Nissan and Ford/VW/GM were in discussions to do just that but they always fall through. Developing these systems is a huge drain on their financial resources and is making modern vehicles prohibitively expensive for many buyers. Sharing the costs is a win win for everyone, but the issue of who shares the liability if a system fails has been a major sticking point.
