Nice looking combination! :winkingthumbsup"

Do you see mostly Dodge Rams as full size pickup trucks in your area, or might some other manufacturer be more common?

Jim
My ram is the only full-size pickup truck I have seen for a few months. I am in Europe

@satovod, the picture looks like is was taken somewhere in Germany?

I use to travel a lot to Europe, for work, and would occasionally see Dodge Ram trucks or Jeeps.

Also, appears to have a Russian-esque file name.

Still a nice setup! Would love to hear if it's in Europe!

Yes, this exact picture was made in Germany. I am in Barcelona, Spain. RAM has a Russian number plate and came from Russia

I love Barcelona, it is my favorite city in Europe.

Also, it is the first place that I am taking my wife when we start traveling in the early Spring!

Santa had us on the nice list this year - picked up our new rig on the 24th. Went to check out a '22 Frontier SV extended bed but walked out with a '23 Pro 4X. Love it so far and has plenty of capacity for our 195S. Looking forward to towing up to some of the higher-up lakes next summer and hopefully a Lake Powell trip by the end of the season!

Gotta say, I'm really liking the new Ram EV! If they can pull this off I may get it instead of a Cyber Truck.View attachment 192692
Give it 5 years and people will be saying “Tesla who?”

the Cyber Truck was nothing more than getting $200 million interest free loan. That truck might make it to production but not anytime soon.

LOL, that seems--unlikely.

I guess they're wasting a ton of money then buying all of the giant--largest in history--casting machines and installing them at Giga Texas to produce the CT...

The Cyber Truck will do a lot I'm sure, but this Ram ticks every box I want except for variable lift air suspension. The big worry I have is wondering if Ram can pull it off and make a reliable EV. After watching the Sandy Munro teardown videos I was disabused of the notion of buying a Ford Mach-e. Tesla is at least five years ahead of everyone else, but I have an open mind. If Ram can get the EV part right, I think this Ram will find a home in my driveway. That's a big if though, and I'll need to see the tear down video first.

SMH, the cyber truck? I bet you are.
Why SMH? Tesla has proven they are the absolute best at building EVs--by a very large margin. Don't take my word for it, watch the tear down videos by Sandy Munro. That said, I want a truck with a folding rear wall, supposedly the Ram will have that. As well as a pass through tunnel to the frunk that will allow carrying 18' lumber. I can use that. Plus, I like the idea of touch panel controlled shading on the roof and windshield. I also like the variable lift air suspension the CT will have though. I'll just have to see what each truck makes it to production with and watch the tear down videos to see if Ram gets the EV part right.

Out with the old 2010 2WD FX2 with 275k miles and a blown head gasket. In with the new 2022 F150 Lariat FX4 and awesome 502A tech and high packages. This thing is a beast and makes my 2010 feel like a relic by comparison lol. Picked it up yesterday and have been loving it. The autonomous BlueCruise driving is friggin badass and kind of nerve inducing (at first lol).
