@@mikeymyke Too bad RAM can't design a truck closer to the Musk truck AND bring it to production. C'mon RAM you can do it!! Or just bring this one out, can't be too hard can it??
The Ram that I currently own is the last Ram that I will own. Nothing said about range or price - of course. There isn’t any EV battery that works well in cold climates. We don’t have and won’t have the power grid to sustain an all electric vehicle society. Undeniable truths. I’ll wave as I drive past you at the charging stations. To each their own.
Good thing you built the old ones right and built them to last ,because those of us that truly rely on our ram trucks will never trust the EV technology enough to join in on the “revolution”
and you can keep paying 10-20 grand a year in gas and constantly cry about gas prices. My F150 Lightning has all the power I could ever ask for, 400 miles per 25 dollar charge, and all the power I could ever need in long haul cargo. You're the dodo... keep out of way and keep your squawking to yourself
I have owned a Ram truck for over 20 years. This new concept will be the best version ever. I will definitely be getting one as soon as they are available.
Holy Catfish! The Design Team knocked this out of the park! Took all the features that we liked about other EV trucks and then added a TON of new ones! 3 row / 6 person seating? Crazy! Passthrough into the Frunk? Wicked! No more red flags stapled to a 2 x 8 x 14 board, it will fit in the entire truck! The workstation arm rests are awesome, just hope the driver gets one (allow the steering wheel to be moved up or away and swing out the armrest workstation would be perfect!). Loving the extending bed and the tailgate extenders like we had on the old RamBox models. Suicide doors! Full glass roof from cowl to rear sail??? Hope that makes it to production. The center console with two screens, one even showed a keyboard idea (which is great!). Keep up this amazing work and lets hope alot of this makes it to production! Time for the team to celebrate!
Concept looks fantastic.... sure hope they can keep the final product close to it. So often the end result is such a let down. Come up, deliver us this Revolution!!!
PLEASE DON'T BLOW IT!! NEED A HYBRID, NOT AN ALL ELECTRIC TRUCK. A truck that only tows 50 miles is worthless. The ideal truck for true truck users is one that uses electric charge for the 50 mile daily commute but then SWITCHES to fuel when we have tow horses or boats or cars 400 miles. PLEASE make it a hybrid.. otherwise, don't want it. I'll wait until somebody gets smart and builds a hybrid until battery technology allows us to tow a couple of hundred miles on a charge.
Looks awesome. My main concern would be battery life towing and not towing ….also the amount of cool gadgets makes me worry about how many little things can break that would need to be repaired. Sometimes simple is better. Unless you’re rich of course! Either way - impressive machine.
I have a Toyota Tacoma with a crash in the windshield, appointment to replace not until Monday. Been sitting parked in my driveway for days. The condensation that built up inside even left the guts of my DSLR moist all the way through. If this happened on this truck would it short itself out?
@@robo2901 Keep in mind that the truck you’re talking about did NOT have the large battery option, and the guy was towing one of the most un-aerodynamic vehicles on an open-trailer. Can’t get much closer to towing a parachute than that. 😂
I don't know if I'm alone on this one but Dodge and Ram are coming out with the only Electric Vehicles Id love to own... Nothing can replace the sound and feel of I.C.E but if this is what we will have to live with in the future I don't mind it as long as in my garage I still can enjoy a Sunday drive in a classic Mopar Hemi!! 💪
I think that will be the ideal future, with EVs replacing all the boring 4 cyl. appliances nobody really wants. The gassers that will survive into the EV era will be for recreation - kind of like what happened to horses.
@@mt2nv1 I would agree with you. If I had to choose id go fast due to my love for track racing!! At least Dodge is experimenting with some sort of sound in the Daytona Banshee its not perfect but its a try.
@@TecnamTwin I really like your comparison to how the horse and buggy became more for recreation as the automobile evolved into everyones daily life as a means of transportation. Change is scary and unpredictable at first before we become complacent with it.
RAM needs to be its own company, with its own factories, its own R&D center, its own employees, its own Business Unit & its own Nasdaq ticker symbol. RAM 🐏
I just canceled my R1T and hummer truck reservations. Will wait impatiently for this truck that I knew nothing about until yesterday. I really hope the saloon doors and extendable bed make it into production.
Really, this is it. My 1500 Limited blows this away. They better step up the quality of the interior and get some real tires on this thing. Do they not remember making the TRX and how bad ass that is. What happened
This concept is amazing! I hope the first Ram EV stays as it is shown and should win many awards. I love my Ram Limited and can't wait for this to be released.🤩
Wow! I'm very impressed by this reveal. after watching the whole reveal video a few times, I believe this truck truly deserves to be called the "revolution" my late grandfather started working on the original Dodge trucks and Power wagons back in the late 1940's and ended up working for Chrysler for over 40 years. Even though he is unfortunately no longer with us, I'm sure that even he would be impressed with such an effort from all of you at RAM, even if its still just a concept for now. I wish everyone at RAM the best of luck through the progress of completing the RAM Revolution, this is a very impressive start and an awesome concept for the future, well done!
Four time Ram owner, who is currently driving one of the best trucks on the planet, the 2019 Ram Limited. I thought Ram could not get any better than what they have but then comes along the Revolution. I am seriously excited about this truck and can't wait to see it come to life.
I bought a 2019 Ram Limited almost 4 years ago and it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. If the Revolution Looks like the concept when built I can hardly wait to see it.

Dear Designers, Parts of this look stunning. Great storage. But please consider asking customers what we want. I have not met anyone who prefers a touchscreen to control all functions, especially climate controls. The screen should be a visual representation of infotainment. I'd wager that most customers would prefer a metal roof over glass. Sincerely, A Ram Owner
Ram really dropped the ball on this truck. A lot of people think it's ugly, and I agree. Just the look of it doesn't look like a truck at all. To much plastic and weak payload
As a RAM 4th gen owner I’m very exited of this concept! A very nice and muscle truck. Hope production version will take maximum from the concept. I very liked it and really want to be one of the first owners of the EV version! RAM EV - see you in 2024🤩
This is light years ahead of any other EV truck out there. I was worried about the push to go electric for a lot of reasons, but this is actually something I would buy. That is, if it's affordable.
Whait what?! No way... for that... I have to see the pricetag with my own eyes to believe it. There will be probably a thousand options but still. wow...
Don't forget about the price of maintenance of the lithium battery. Besides The lithium battery still consumes fossil fuels in its manufacturing process so is it really green 100%?
I'm laying in a hospital bed watching this video, and just before he said it should bring goose bumps to everyone, I said to my wife "Look at my goose bumps!"
If the trucks are made to last, offer a good warranty on the battery, and make sure your workforce is equipped to repair them when they break. These are the questions your customers will ask at the dealership.
Hey there, If you're experiencing an on-going issue with your truck, we'd love to see how we can help. Please send us a direct message with a little more of what you're experiencing so we can dig into this with you. ^CB
I don’t know why they didn’t make that a feature pickups have been the same for 100 years no fold down back wall no moveable seats no extending beds nothing
@It’s called the great reset, tough guy so ... nothing, as it's not a promotion, just my two cents comment. But I wouldn't mind taking a TRX Havoc Edition for free. @Ram make it happen 🙏.
This has the potential to be a great truck... as long as it isn't an EV. Offer this with 5.7L with an enhanced eTorque battery and I would continue being a customer. I like my 5th Gen Ram Laramie and I'm content to keep it, especially if Ram goes to an EV platform.
One of my suggestions early on was adding some type of connector that could become an industry standard. That way when trucks hook up to trailers, they could attached the connection, like with the trailer brakes/lights and trailers could have extra batteries built in. This would help decrease range anxiety, without needing to have massive battery capacity for the 20% of the time it's actually needed. Towable trailers could be custom built just for long trips/dropped off to charge at certain destinations/used as power source on camp sites/etc. This extender would need to be able to move power in both directions though, so one could pull up to a station and charge the truck and trailer at the same time, and pull from the trailer power as needed. (Maybe even have a switch to prioritize which power gets used first).
@@stephenpostier6456 Additionally, the trailer could have a small (for an EV) motor of its own, so it would do a small amount of the work for the car, which could also help reduce range anxiety
@@mrsoisauce9017 If there's an industry standard connector, it could be used for a lot of different types of ideas. Maybe a box mounted/hitch mounted diesel generator could be secured for certain use cases (Similar to how @edison motors is developing a Diesel Electric Truck body, but more as an add-on feature). These types of potential use cases could decrease the need for @Ram Trucks to spend as much on battery's/weight, lowering the cost for the truck to consumers, getting more people into their vehicle. (Especially if some of these add-on options could come from Ram/partnered with Mopar, or other dealerships.) If I were Ram Trucks, I wouldn't even charge any manufacturer a licensing fee to use the connector, in order for their tech to become the industry standard. (At least not for the receiving end. They could eventually license it to other truck manufacturers, assuming they're able to get a patent on it.)
I'm excited to see what they finally come out with. I would especially be excited to see them come out with a small range extending motor just to recharge the battery with. If you want to make it green, use propane. I can't imagine needing to run that generator often and gas doesn't sit well for long.
They did not disappoint if the production looks close to the concept. Beautiful design, functional design, and cutting edge. Take my money RAM! Been with them for 10 years now and I'm not turning back.
Looking forward to seeing if it looks like the current production trucks (like Ford did with the Lightning) or if they went off the rails like Chevy. Hoping for the former, but still can't wait to see it.
It's convenient, but not efficient. If you talk about needing more electricity in the grid and probability of blackouts from charging EVs, wireless charging is the worst thing you could do.
Completely agree and it was all cgi. Put that thing in a turntable and let the team talk about it and give us fact. Range, power, towing and payload capacity.
I hope the production version looks like a regular 1500. Some vehicles are looking to modern and loosing the "regular" look of a pickup. Ford did a good job with the Lighting keeping it familiar. Although hey, I'm a Cummins guy. I guess this is what electric people want. Although I'm not opposed to electric, might even get one one day. It just has to be "realistic" for a truck guy. Knobs/buttons for climate and basic controls, Simple use, and reliable.
Im cool with electric vehicles as long as the emissions don't ban my cummins and gas vehicles. These emissions are getting ridiculous. Its more a control tactic. All electric won't be possible for years and years to come. They are pushing it way to hard and fast.
Looks crazy RAM team, this is the real next level for pick-up evolution. I love the new RamBox design. I hope to see implement this factures in to the production model!!!
There is no "wild", "heroic", "fearless" without roaring, don't be imprisoned by the sound, it is to much. There is no beast that does not roar. This is just a concept and that's it. Trucks are wild beasts that you hear from far away and you shudder.
Love it but I hope Ram doesn't move forward with the suicide doors. That's the worst design when it comes to trying to get out of the vehicle in parking lots. Now, it's a different story if the doors can be opened independently because I could see making it easier to load larger items without having to worry about the B-pillar.
Wow, I was so excited for this truck, since the eco diesel model was pulled. But the ridiculous rear seats, the short bed with wasted space of those Ram boxes, and the rear doors being forward facing. I am no longer interested. I wanted an electric version of the current Ram, not a spaceship that isn’t functional for a family.
@@christophermccraw4476 I know the ecodiesel is being disconnected as well. I also heard rumors of the hurricane 6 cylinder twin turbo being I available. We shall see what the future holds.
I wonder what this will actually be. I'm hoping the design will look similar to the classic RAM truck we all know and love. I really just do not like the new "futuristic" designs that Chevrolet, GMC, Tesla, and everyone else is showing off. I really believe that a more simple design like the F-150 Lightning would shine prominently, and would be loved in the eyes of consumers. C'mon MOPAR, and Stellantis - don't disappoint me!
I agree with the opinions of ٨J. I have seen the EV 2022 Dodge Charger Daytona ST Concept and it appears as a modern interpretation of the classic "Dukes of Hazard" Charger R/T. It looked 'very nice' to my eyes, anyway.
Very nice truck, but I’m sure it’s going to cost a lot more than my 2019 Ram Big Horn, so it will be very far out of my price range. I am looking forward to watching all the car RU-vidrs review this truck.
F150 lightning base model is 40 grand. 400 miles per charge. RAM already knows they need to compete with Ford on this one, and they got a BIG head start.
