Range doesn't matter. What it can do when loaded does. When you see videos of a F150 towing something getting barely 100 miles range, it's a total disaster. You simply can't expect people who work for a living to stop for 1-2 hours to charge up every 80-100 miles when they are making money/on the job.

[@raphaelrodrigues1645]

1-2 hours of charging time is only a thing on VERY long trips. The F150 Lightning won't take more than 30 minutes to fully charge on a fast charger. In this time frame you can grab a snack, go to the bathroom, and do other things. Also, the majority of truck buyers use their trucks as a sedan, so, not a big problem. For the people that really use the truck as a truck, Ford Offers the Hybrid F150.

[@SunnyIceberg]

You won’t find a fast charger in 99% percent of areas within 1-2 hours at least. The hybrid also Carries all the downsides of both gas and electric so why get it instead of a pure gas truck as a work truck which they mostly are. Technological upkeep and lower range than the gas since you need to recharge the truck. Hybrids also have a lot higher up keep these cars go down to 30k within a year and up keep you can do yourself it cost you less time that it would take to book an appointment and wait for your truck and drive to the mechanic who has the technology. If you know anything about the world and aren’t super rich you’ll never pick a hybrid or electric car

[@raphaelrodrigues1645]

@SunnyIceberg well, hybrids also combine all the good things from both electric and gas, and you don't actually NEED to charge a hybrid, since it will charge itself by using the energy you usually waste, like when braking and going downhill. Also, almost all modern vehicles are a PITA to fix, requiring special equipment and lots of training and skill. And Hybrids usually are not a lot harder ou more expensive to maintain than a moder diesel pickup truck. Now that Tesla is probably going to open their charging network to any other plug-in vehicle with CCS charger capability, there will be a lot of places to reliably charge your electric truck. And you can also charge it at home overnight, so every day you can wake up with a "full tank".

[@sierra283blue5]

I’m no EV fan because my own personal feelings are that EV’s estimated range does not live up to estimations in real life scenarios. I feel these EVs are actually worse for the environment but with this said I love the way the Ram Revolution looks and hope most the design elements make it into production. I’m an old school V8 natural aspirated engine fan with fast vehicles like my 2023 C8 and my 2022 Jaguar F Pace SVR but damn what a great looking truck. One huge gripe with these EV’s is the “estimated” range which we all know in real life situations they don’t come close especially hot or cool weather. Electrifying America isn’t up to speed with most EV reviews making this a huge issue due to possibly being stranded. I appreciate Scotty’s truth telling on how all these early buyers are true Guinea pigs testing out the faults. I prefer my petrol fast throaty V8’s that truly cause less damage to the environment. Way to tell the truth @Scotty Kilmer keep it up brother.

Was at the Chicago Auto Show for the first time in 3 plus years. All major showcased vehicles were EV or hybrid. Very few standards. No Mazda, land rover, range rover, Porsche, Volvo, Mercedes. There were so many brands missing.

[@bentullett6068]

Land Rover/Jaguar only have one EV model which is the I-pace, but I don't think they want to go down the plug in battery route because they know that their market here in the UK is mostly wealthy people who live countryside who require a towing vehicle to bring their horses out to a event. Mazda are trying to do what Toyota are doing and keep a open mind on the market as they only have one EV. Volvo have EV's but here in the UK I see more hybrid versions than full EV and their only full EV brand is Polestar which by the sounds of things keep having software malfunctions after a recent update. Mercedes currently have EV's but still its a niche market and you still see more conventional internal combustion cars and hybrids sold in the UK currently. Porsche don't want to go full EV either with their brand as they know customers like the Porsche 911 and the other internal combustion engine cars they produce and the EV Taycan is just a niche car.

One minute Scotty hates electric vehicles. the next he’s telling us how great they are

[@geniushughes8287]

All the glass will get you in trouble when you flip the truck or you wrecked the truck,( none of your going to want this glass)! Love the tinting on command I keep mine on dark

[@knmay7976]

I thought they just released pictures of what it will look like closer to production and they dropped anything interesting about it. It’s just an electric Ram 1500. We’re never going to see what the concept showed off

[@edwinmachado7964]

The edits never fail haha

[@alanj7306]

It’s going to be cool until it spontaneously catches on fire 🔥 in your garage haha 🤣

[@phileasler5401]

Doubt that…

[@tobylou8]

I have two real trucks, a 91and 93 Dodges. Both run great.

[@freecleets]

V8, black or brown leather seats, decent stereo, 3 colors (black, white, red), priced at $30,000. Why can't any manufacture do this?

[@bentullett6068]

Greta says no.

[@marksanko6138]

What’s the range? Range while towing? How fast can it charge? Price?

[@trentmckenzie343]

Scotty! I need some help! I’m looking for a daily driver, a reliable, economical car that can handle backroads, potholes, gravel, etc. but most importantly, with a manual! Any ideas or suggestions?

[@surfside75]

Toyota corolla, Honda, mazda.

[@USNAVDC]

Does anyone else remember how much fun it was to have a manual transmission ?

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I have one.

[@paulhuval]

I wish they would make a vehicle that all windows can darken when you park it to help with the sun. No more tinting your windows

[@paulhuval]

@jimmyg1974 that you can press a button and it darkens?

[@edwardcase6594]

Just stick a gas motor in it and I'm sold

[@nilesbrook4216]

They totally missed it with the name. It couldve been the “EV-olution” Also - I think that “shadowing” feature is a great way to get run over by your own truck if it malfunctions.

[@jackskelly6473]

It’s a Ram so you have to lease it. 36,000 miles and the rust and mechanical problems start up.

[@edwalsh41]

Hi Scotty. I want to ask you a question. I slightly bent crossmember beam while jacking up my vehicle. Can I still drive it? The jacking point caved in instead of sticking out.

[@thethugpoet2009]

Driving with a bad crossmember for a prolonged period of time may result in poor wheel alignment, suspension damage, frame damage, and more.

[@thethugpoet2009]

So the short answer is yes but wouldn't do it long term... depending on how bent is bent slightly. It could cause any of those problems

[@SnowmanRH]

Dodge Truck is the only one that has rear coil springs instead of leaf springs, so it is always going to ride better for this reason. It may not haul quite as much..

[@Tristand09]

But that's one of the main reasons to get a truck though...

[@SnowmanRH]

@@Tristand09 That's true, I should have said "It won't haul near as much".

[@joeduca6071]

why not put bench seat like my 97 F250 you can get 9 in there Bench seat 3 across

[@terry_willis]

Great. More stuff to break. And pay [Scotty] to fix it. 😄

[@Deehandle11]

How much is it going to cost for the consumer? $150k? $200k? Good luck. I do like the concept truck. I’m a DIYer and I can see all the possible wrong this tht can happen so I’d never get one, if I did I’d be rich and Berber have to worry about fixing it myself

[@VonSpud]

Can't see the full glass roof being in the production model of the Ram Rev. Can imagine how many glass shops wouldn't have them in stock... 99.9% of them.

[@bghoody5665]

So seeing as how Ram is owned by Fiat, an Italian company, this means this truck is going to be stuffed with Italian electronics. Oh, my.

[@Gargoyle_911nn]

Does Scotty edit these himself? I’ve always wondered, they look professionally made

[@BEASTWRANGLER]

He has a team that does these now with raw video and notes he provides from what I understand

[@prestobizmal]

They need to have it come with a diesel generator with a "rebel yell" button that kicks it on so the driver can still roll Coal when passing cyclists and pedestrians.
