Anyone else hope this platform is successful?

I'm hoping that the Ramcharger is as good as they claim. I look forward to being able to travel the country with a travel trailer and using the truck as the generator when boondocking.

I am hoping so, in a sideways sort of way... they plan on putting a very similar idea into the Wagoneer 4xe models next year, or so they say. Wife is interested, as she wants something a little better at towing than her Grand Cherokee and loves the electric idea.

I would also like to see it work out. Don’t know if I’d would buy one at this point in my life, but the idea is sure enticing. Then again, the pricing will be a factor too. I recently saw a new Silverado electric truck with a $96,xxx MSRP. The Ramcharger has a smaller battery, so maybe that will help keep the truck price low. Of course, you need to add the generator + the V-6 engine into the mix. Scariest part to me is how the electronics will integrate into the vehicle. In theory, it sounds awesome. It’s the only electric truck I would consider. But I will not buy it until it’s on the market for a year at least.

Sounds like she needs a truck if she wants something better at towing.

I'm leaning the same way for now. I want to give it time to see if it performs as well as they say it will. I also want to see what kind of range it gets before I ever decide to buy it

That is an option. The Wagoneer can tow 10,000+ lbs when properly equipped though.

I’ve personally seen a wagoneer towing a 32ft 6,500lbs (dry weight) TT early in the season last year. The driver said it tows better than any truck hes had…i was blown away. They hooked up and left the day after I got in and it was wild to see how perfectly it sat and effortlessly it pulled.

I hope it performs well and is reasonable price wise. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the recently announced Scout Terra pickup with the Harvester option, which is what Scout is calling the generator option. With the Eco Diesel discontinued and the Hurrican far worse than the Eco Diesel for fuel economy, especially when towing, the Ramcharger is quite interesting to me.
