Thoughts?

Some of the features look really innovative. Very cool lines on the exterior. Interior looks like its it configurable almost like the old chevy avalanche used to be, with the removable rear seats. Honestly not really an electric vehicle fan though.

I realize it is the show vehicle, so things will change. But have to say, I definitely never want a vehicle that has things controlled through an entertainment center. I want knobs that can be found and used without taking eyes off the road, notwithstanding any driver assist technologies, which I don't trust.

I do like the full side Ram box. Don't like a steering wheel that isn't a wheel. For a 1500, configuration could work. Wonder where a third row of seats would go.

Not a fan of the low roof line at all.

I find myself glaring too long at the screen as is trying to change the climate from panel/floor/defrost ect.

As for the design… meh.
All they needed to do was take the body of the 4th/5th gen and put it over the EV drive train. I like driving normal looking vehicles.

That roof line is a problem. If the overall dimensions are close to the production, vehicle, visibility is going to be limited out of that cab. It's kind of like what they do nowadays with all the bands in sport utilities, they've curved the rear of the roof down to save weight by reducing material and it makes the rear window this tiny porthole. That's the same thing going on with the truck, the rear window is just this minuscule thing.

I'm just not a fan of how the bed intrudes into the cab area and makes the door so much smaller. Hopefully the production truck eliminates a lot of the goofiness. I highly doubt the rear doors will be suicide doors like the show vehicle, that's generally just two display the interior better. And if you have that B pillar then you have to move things back a bit or you end up with the rear door of a jeep that you can't get your boots through.

Coming from a diehard mopar fan, that’s one of the ugliest EVs I’ve seen and definitely the ugliest of the few electric trucks out there. I see nothing attractive or practical about the design or aesthetics. I’m also against EVs so maybe I’m biased, lol

No, I think it loses the Ram basis in it's design. Not knocking it, but it is like calling the Mach E a mustang. It is in name only and misses the target by a zip code.

And no mention of the rumored APU. Figure they are designing the truck for group of people who don't work their trucks and just want to own one.

They called it a concept, so I’m hoping there’s some work to do to make it marketable.
