We have no shortage of opinated, knowledgeable, experienced truck owning members here, and the Rams guys and gals want to know what you think should be included in their entry into the full size EV truck competition.
So what the heck, speak up and share your brilliance (seriously) with these designers before they get too far down the road with this:
“We know there are battery-electric and range-extended Ram 1500 pickups coming in two years, the latter referred to as a Range Electric Paradigm Breaker (RPB). Ram execs are currently on a year-long tour holding Ram Real Talk events to find out what potential customers want, Automotive News reports that Ram will show the first iteration of the pickup in concept form before the year is out. Brand CEO Mike Koval told AN that meetings with the public are already helping shape the concept's design.”
The idea (or simply awareness), seems to be that Ford, Chevy, Tesla, Rivian, et. al., will all have their EV trucks out before Ram does, so Ram hopes to first see what the others are doing and then improve on that +1!***
…”We are preparing the EV pickup trucks for 2024, and we are doing it by adjusting the specs and adjusting the performance in function of what we see coming up from our competitors." Koval told AN, "We will push past our competitors in terms of those important metrics like towing and hauling and, in the future, charge time, range and things of this nature" by having the competitor playbooks before the Ram arrives.”

***an interesting spin, this could also perhaps be interpreted instead as admitting they got caught asleep at the wheel and now are scrambling to try to catch up with the competition.?

Ram 1500 BEV concept due later this year
Ram says it will show a concept version of its electric 1500 pickup currently under development, and has spilled some more details about the truck's powertrain and charging capabiliites.
