Ram Rev video (Preview)

It’s just not going to make it. The oil companies and market makers will ensure this dies on the vine. Even if they can’t get rid of it entirely they’ll make it ridiculously expensive for no reason. Think the etorque when it came out.

I don't deal in conspiracy theories, but you're free to think what you want. In a couple of years, we'll know if you were right (about it not making it, not the other stuff).

again the member on here doing the range extender project looks way more promising. Even if this came out with all the good things it’s reported to I’d still put a range extender in the lighting everyday of the week.

That indeed looks like an interesting project and I wish him the best of luck. But it's not the same thing.... To match the range extender the Rev (and I assume Ford's will be similar), you're going to need a forklift to put it into your truck.

A forklift? Cmon man. What kind of engine/generator would you use? A 3cyl Honda motor is about 120 lbs no big deal.

the whole conspiracy thing, I wouldn’t call it that. It’s more of a good business practice. Doesn’t mean it’s the right thing morally, but when it comes to shareholders and such that’s is typically the interests that these folks act upon.

He was probably talking about the standard generator route. The westinghouse wgen20000tfc is 600lbs dry. The new Duromax inverter 28k is a bit lighter at 466lbs but is also significantly more expensive ($7500 v $3900). The big caveat with Everdrive is that you also need a truck that supports 80 amps for somewhat meaningful towing range improvements with a decent load. Really needs more power and to tie directly into the dc side to make a significant difference but that set up may be cost prohibitive to do correctly.

This was a total internet hoax. I'm sorry you fell for it.

Your source? You prove it to me.

It was at booth that Stellantis paid for at the Chicago Auto Show and they brought a pre-production Rev truck to. They put the window sticker in the truck. They told the original poster on Reddit that the company representatives gave them the window sticker and told them to put it in said truck.

I give that more weight than some random dude on the internet telling me I am wrong.

Again, provide your source...

I think a lot of buyers who use their trucks for truck things (but want a really nice daily driver as well and would like to avoid a HD truck) will be interested.

So the target audience is F250 buyers with a champagne taste and champagne budget ?

Yeah I can't see any serious towers dropping from a 3/4ton to a heavy half ton erev.
