Wow! The VW pickup was brought up, but nobody mentioned the the Plymouth Scamp or the Dodge Rampage from the early 1980s.

A battery electric truck makes a lot of sense for commercial fleets which either have fixed routes or a small service area. A fleet can set up their own charging infrastructure at an operations base. I'm anxious to see what Ram can do for mild and plugin hybrids. I'm hoping for something beyond...

My guess is that there will be some fully electric Ram vans and trucks marketed to fleets. I imagine we will also see Ram pickups and chassis-cabs with a hybrid system similar to the Jeep Wrangler 4Xe. Down the road there will also be some next generation mild hybrid designs as well. The...

The new Ford F-150 hybrid can generate electricity and has the ability to power tools and appliances. I think it would be nice if Ram had a truck which could do the same thing. That power outage in Texas stops 200 miles away from where I live in Minnesota, because the grid is interconnected. Gas...

I have no idea what Ram has in store for the future, but someone wants the heavy-duty commercial vehicle version of the ZF eight speed. ZF will be producing their PowerLine 8-speed in the same US facility where V8 Rams now get their transmissions from. Source...

The build and price still shows the Pentastar V6 in the HFE trim. However, the Ram website does announce the EcoDiesel availability in the HFE with those fuel economy numbers. Wow, hats off to the Ram people.

Please note, slightly less than one quarter of electrical generation in the US comes from coal. Older coal fueled plants are being phased out as new emissions regulations are set in place. Electricity generation is undergoing a metamorphosis, so all our energy sources will provide cleaner...

I noticed something about the Bosch system. It doesn't seem to leave room for a 4X4 transfer case. So probably that system would be better left with 3500-4500-5500 cab-chassis models. I still hope that the Ram people look into such an option, along with something based on Jeep's 4Xe system for...

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have been posting on Mopar Insiders for a number of months, but the electrified Ram talk here has prompted me to respond. For me, it is natural to assume that an electrified Ram pickup would be a 1500. After all that is what the previously built PHEV Rams were...
