Also, Depreciation on a gas vehicle is alot higher then an electric. Losing about 30% right off the lot with a gas truck. Not worried about tires, because that comes down to mileage. Tires are same for both. Mileage and age comes to play.
Editing my post. Since I can’t compare my driving to...
If your doing to do the math, don't forget all of the oil changes that come with it every 3-6 months...depending on mileage, while the ev you don't have that maintaince.
When you look at those numbers, it breaks even around the first 2 years. After that, the EV for the win big time because of...
I think that when gas is $10 a gallon that's when people will switch over. Besides...I'm dome with giving big oil companies money so they can inflate their prices by reducing the amount they produce. That's a global issue and not just a U.S. issue (you would be shocked with what Europe pays)...
I would love a rivian...but price is way out of my league...and finally it doesn't have apple car play, andriod auto.

I can only speak for myself and my situation. I live in the northeast where plenty of chargers are available. Someone maybe in the middle of the country might not have that option.
It would be cheaper for me to go electric...and I've just been waiting on better range. Now if they can make it...
My solar panels pay for my electricity. Also...when you do research on it, depending on the time you charge can be cheaper ( you can schedule it...all you have to do is plug it in). You cant control gas prices when they go up...but I can with electric. The numbers I have would put me at $20 for...
Propane is a good one. Don't know why that didn't take off and it's been around for ages.

Yikes....and it's 4 times more expensive than gas. No thank you
I want to reduce the amount of money I spend at the pump. Charging time doesn't matter to me when all i have to do is plug in when i get home.
I get that you hate electric cars...but I'm tired of spending $80-$100 at the pump. If...
Just read an article somewhere how ford is having trouble selling them (both gas and ev). Just like the rest of their trucks....it's TOO EXPENSIVE. Even gas trucks....ram shot themselves in the foot in increasing the base price by $4k with little to no change to the 5th gen rams. Chip shortage...
It definitely raises some eye brows...because they closed it, then reopened it. Only major reason why I did it, is because I'm ev shopping 2024-2025 and I want the rambox. If I can't get a base EV with rambox for the cheapest price, then I'm getting something else. I can easily go midsized...
Refundable until preorder is available. Gives me plenty of time to decide. I would have accurate pricing range by then.. I would end up canceling for something else anyway.
Besides...with all the money I spent on my charger... $100 is nothing....lol.
But stellantis seeing that I'm pulling out...
Let me clarify...it's the insider plus.
Quotes from the website
"Ram REV Insider+ members enjoy all the benefits that a Ram REV Insider enjoys, PLUS the ability to secure their place in line to preorder a Ram 1500 REV. A Ram REV Insider+ membership requires a $100 fee and is available only...
Only way that the ram rev will even compete is lower prices. 2024-2025 will have a TON of new Ev Trucks.
As of today... no way I'm paying anything over $60k for a full size EV truck...so I'm gonna have to go and get a midsized truck. I'm hoping to get a well equipped midsized EV truck for...
Haha...welll depending on the person. Big old Truck drivers would only say that semi are true trucks.
Folks that only drive small cars would think that a midsized truck or even half car/half truck is also big for them.
In this case, I try to stick to the midsized truck....just because it has...
Your not going to get close to that in a midsized truck.

And I’m sure those that are in the midsize segment looking for a smaller truck aren’t looking for those big tow numbers…like what you would want in a full size truck.
I don’t tow much and I don’t put too much in my bed ( outside the normal Home Depot trips, beach trips, bike trips, where 3...
Now it kinda makes me want to check my oils for my ram and charger. I normally change my oils once a year because extremely low miles. I do drive all of them, and nothing sits longer than a week even during the cold north east winters. When I drive them, I get them up to operating Temps.
Had...
Ohh...yeah. I remember those. My dad had a burgundy el Camino ( I'm 45 btw) so yeah.. those things are just too small back then.
So it's more of a ridgeline (unibody) then a Tacoma, frontier, Colorado ( Body on frame). So right there towing and payload numbers will be lower.

I have even seen people say that my 4 door charger scat pack isn't a muscle car...so it definitely is an opinion.
But if it has a bed, in my eyes it's considered a truck.
Curious to know why Stellantis is using the name Ramage instead of dakota. Is there some kind of history I'm missing with...
