This is Stellantis failing, and I have to say, if you are a DEALER and have never heard of the REV or Ramcharger, what are you doing selling cars? One of my biggest frustrations is when I test drive a car and know more about the car than the salesmen. I guess I have better work ethic, but if I...

Well, there is another snippet of good news, he has all his ranges wrong (electric vs gas), but if he thinks it is coming that is good news, he is typically accurate with what he says.

Well, your point is true already, the Hurricane I6 is already leaps better than the Hemi and the Hemi crowd has screamed "but but but, it doesnt sound like a Hemi" which has driven the reintroduction of the Hemi with zero updates. Frustrating cause Ram has the opportunity to fix the issues and...

From what I have read, the pentastar was under tuned so I dont think performance was an issue. The reasoning for choosing the pentastar was it was cheap (no longer recovering development costs) and it already fits in the chassis as they are using it in current 1500's. Simply put, it was...

See my other post, dealers can now order the Grand Wagoneer (same architecture) so there is new hope the 1500 will follow soon after since they can make them on the same factory line.

I guess this is a start, not sure why they started with the Grand Wagoneer and there was no word on the 1500 REV. But maybe a few of us will be able to test drive the platform before too long. If you get a chance to see one or test drive one, make sure you let the dealers know you want the...

I am sure some dealers will make them showroom queens, but if they want to sell them, people will need to drive them. There will always be people who will get them without a test drive, but I assume the majority of people will want to see what they are getting. I wish they would have the REVs...

Well, at least the dealers will have a option of the platform to test drive this way. Maybe if we flood the dealerships to test drive the Jeep and then tell them all we want the truck, they will put the dam thing out! But at least this is a step in the right direction. Now that all the TRX's...

Same here, "Removed . . ." Can you summarize what it was?

From everything I have heard they are not much more (if any) costwise than a hurricane/hemi. V8/I6, axels, transmission, differentials are about the same as the v6, batteries and emotors.

I think we are probably 2-3 years away from real production capability for the sodium stuff. CATL is just now starting to ramp up their production and automobile use is probably 5-6 down the list at this point. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out. Excited to see some news...

Thanks for that deck, great info. I also noticed they will be using Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, maybe the delay was switching to those batteries as there are a lot of upside to those and a few downsides. The biggest downside is they dont work in below freezing temps, so maybe they have...

At the 12 minute mark (so you dont have to listen to the rest of info if you dont want) the guy on the phone they are talking to (Sam Abuelsamid) attended the RAM investor day and he says they still plan to launch the REV (and Grand Wagoneer EREV) before the end of the year. So there is still...

Well, we can hope that all the hyped vehicles are done now and they start bringing in the foot traffic they are supposed to into dealers, so they can start working on marketing the REV. Hell, they don't even have to roll out a national marketing campaign for the REV, just get them into the...

It is funny if you read that X Post, the guy didnt even know this truck was a thing . . . so yeah, I guess he missed a product announcement. But what is worse is reading the comments, almost nobody know what that truck is or they think it is the original REV and most are saying it was...
