The important thing to note with the MPG as well is that the engine WILL NOT be moving the truck. Theren is no mechanical linkage between the engine and the wheels. It is simply a generator to charge the batteries so they can move the wheels. So I'd imagine it will be running at it's most...

For sure. I'm excited. This may very well be the truck or atleast powertrain options I look for in my next truck. Idk that I'll ever get rid of my current truck. Who knows what kind of money the last v8s will be able to command - thinking similarly to how the 70s-90s trucks are selling today.

Just wanted to toot my own horn.

I had similar thoughts. Definitely impressive tech but I wonder about the reliability aspect. Where did you find the mpg? I couldn't find it in the article linked. That was something I was curious about. I imagine it'll be pretty case by case. Since they mentioned 50 miles of all electric...

My truck has the brow. I'm 6'2. It's fine. I like it and put it on all of our vehicles. I sit pretty far back and low in my truck. So it doesn't impact my view out of the windshield. I've considered tinting the whole windshield but since we roll with illegal tint on the sides I decided to not...

They're limited release. Black was only available for 2020 and 2023? If I remember correctly. If you want another color you'll have to buy used or get a different trim. No guarantee they'll come back out at all.

As a Georgian you can keep the white devil powder and cold.

I think those are valid points but from my understanding the avg uaw employee is making $28/hr. It's been reported that number is considered top pay and it takes a long time to get there. A quick Google search shows that Toyota in Alabama near me is paying $24/hr. So yes, after these contract...

Thank you @CalvinC I appreciate that. I know I get testy at times but I don't necessarily mean to. I've said it too much honestly but I'm more into the idea of raising up the entire American population by any means necessary vs just being strictly unions or bust. I want American made and...

That's definitely a valid point and even at this point if I were a UAW member I'd be getting kind of antsy.

@Geddyflea thats fine and well. I'm pro-union yes, but if a non-union job could beat my pay and benefits I'd go. I'm not entrenched in the idealogy. I think my post above with the truck prices show that the union isn't the driving factor for the car market. From 08-18 trucks went up 48%. From...

I'm tired of people acting like the union is the reason for all of the jacked up car prices. They literally took less money to help the companies stay afloat. Yet somehow they're the reason prices keep getting jacked.

@Geddyflea and @Darksteel165 - like Dewey mentioned - they're not going to get those things. Quoting old articles isn't going to prove a point. That was their negotiating tactic. I'm fairly positive that at this point if they'd add the battery plants to the contract they'd sign. They're fine on...

That's all fine and well. That's the benefit of living in a capitalist society. There are plenty of people who think otherwise though. They figured out that banding together to have more negotiating power with their employer was better for them. If they all followed your line of thinking we...

Because that's what the union agreed to do - negotiate on behalf of their members. With the move to EVs those members are in danger of losing their jobs. No transmission to build, no engine to build, etc. So it's not necessarily for new hires as much as it's trying to keep people employed...

At this point the wages are fair and so are the other concessions. They're still holding out for the battery plants. Which I feel like is a fair move. Firing all the employees is a laughable notion. If you think they're losing money now just wait till the idle all the plants because of...

I have a weather tech that's really nice. Fits perfectly. Has a reflective side for summer and a darker side for the winter if you're in a climate where that matters.

Yes. Tons of affected trucks in the first wave. Which were the 2020 Black diamond and Gator color ways. I think there may have been a few after that but mostly that first wave iirc. You can dig through the thread if you'd like but we've got part numbers and everything. Ram reached out to several...

Oh yea. Wasn't concerned by anything other than the rancid smell lol. It's enough of a feel good for me to know they're topped off and ready for another 50k.

Good to know. First time ever doing that kind of service on a vehicle. Didn't notice a smell with the new fluids but the old is still lingering on the nose hairs a bit lol.
