The best looking EV truck besides the Sierra. That’s how you create the cab / bed overhang without looking too Chevrolet Avalanche ish.

Suicide doors? Interesting I'm not a big Ram fan. Kind of looks cool.

Barf. One giant iPad glued to modern vehicle dashboards wasn’t enough? They had to tack on two…

I can't unsee this

No thanks. All these weird contraptions just make Ford's choice to make the Lighting a traditional truck look better and better.

I must be on the wrong forum again.

Those mirrors look like they belong to a model car

I know it’s just a concept but I think this thing rules. Love seeing the big manufacturers push the envelope like this

I owned a 2022 Lightning Pro for a couple months. I agree with you on the standard F-150 design being unobtrusive.

It was awesome to drive and the acceleration is savage, but electrics aren’t ready for prime time yet. The ~200 mile range, poor charging infrastructure, and extremely high energy prices where I live (38 cents per kWh) made it more expensive to drive than my ICE work truck. The winter range hit and poor heater design could drop the range down to under 140 miles. The home backup couldn’t work unless you got the extended range battery truck for $30K more and paid Sunrun $5K for the two way infrastructure. The costs are skyrocketing since the price of the lithium ore has increased to the stratosphere. My $46K Lightning would be $63K as a 2023 model, and the federal $7500 incentive isn’t certain. Maybe in 5 years they’ll be more viable.

Why does it look like they're trying to copy the godawful updated KIA logo? When did we decide that 80's futuristic design is back? Bleah.

Also, as someone who has always worked in tech, stop it with the giant touchscreens for everything, already. They're TERRIBLE for a car - just something else that requires the driver to look away from the road. Also, go search out what happens if you crack your Tesla infotainment screen - suddenly you can't control anything.

You should be required to have a hazmat license to drive an EV. Just name this thing the Ram Fireball or Eternal Flame, lol.

Segment-redefining Ram 1500 Revolution Battery-electric Vehicle (BEV) Concept demonstrates Ram’s commitment to electric vehicle (EV) leadership

More puffery than the Northern Atlantic.

*this post demonstrates my commitment to invincibility

In that vein, one minor gripe I have with the Bronco is the defrost/dash/floor vent controls. Having to select from the screen is not optimal. I don't even want to know what it's like to have no physical buttons at all.

The 24 inch wheels tells me Ram doesn't expect customers to use this for anything truck related.

I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that the first iteration has some warts and the range probably would be much better if it was a blob like these other EV trucks.
