Hi all! I'm new to this forum as I'm thinking of trading my 18 Subaru sti for Ram 1500.
Ram accounced ramcharger not long ago and was waiting for it to come out, but fortunately it will be for 2025![Frown :( :(](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png)
Down here, I have couple things I want to hear from you guys. The EXPERTS!
SO! here is what I'm going to do with Ram if I buy either of them.
1. Camping. I'm prob going to put topo topper which I saw it as light as under 400lb. Great!
2. Of course daily drive. I don't drive a lot. I live literally 3 min away from my workplace.
3. Fishing Trip. I have Hobie Kayak which is 12ft long and heavy so I want to utilize the bed if I can even with the topo topper on. Maybe just open the tailgate down and the topper close. Prob will work.
Well, that's what I want to do. And here are couple of my 'concerns'.
1. Due to the nature of camping and fishing trip I go to, I will be going on and off the mountain (not a rocky terrain) and shore. Will I have to worry about the sand getting under the car for both Ramcharger and 2024 Limited? I know some of you might say why go for limited when I'm overlanding it, but I realy liked the interior quality of the limited verses rebel. If there is a big difference between limited and rebel for overlanding that I don't know of, please feel free to tell me![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
2. I know Ram will be relatively new to the EV market and I'm kinda worried about how Ramcharger be charging the battery while moving. Becuase in general, the lithium ion battery doesn't do well when it's charging and dispensing at the same time. Not sure what kind of battery they are going to use, but I'm worried this will be an issue going down the road. Any tech guys thoughts here?
3. I live in New Jersey and we have pretty good extreme hot and cold weather along with the salt on the road during the winter. Any of you guys have problem with undercarriage corrosion? Washing sounds easy, but not so much during the winter time. for me.
If I can think of more I will add them down, but I think that's all for now!
Tell me educated for Ram peeps!
Thanks in advance. Cheers!
