So are these ICE trucks, or Hybrid trucks or full electric trucks? Sorry I have a tough time watching most Youtube videos as they want to talk and talk and talk aiming for that magic 20 minute mark instead of just giving you the information.


Most don't also have CC, so semi deaf folks like me can't hear what they are saying?

No I have not looked at video!

Well, your definition of click bait is about as obtuse as the guy who asked if these were hybrids.
That, and you are mis using the terminology….

If I bought a new truck I'd buy the one that was most comfortable to sit in, not the one with the most power.

These days they all have plenty pf power.

I won't sit in s Dodge though. [emoticon]

"I won't sit in s Dodge though"

Maybe try a RAM as DODGE trucks have not been made since model year 2012.

EV conversion would be cool too.

When they can get an EV to the same capability, range, comfort and price point as my F-250 7.3 L gas, without having to wait 30 min to charge, then maybe we can talk. Till then, I'll see you in my mirror.

A couple similar trucks crossed the auction block at Barrett Jackson last year. I really like that body style, and if I could afford one, I’d love to have one in my garage. But I would want mine with a CTD.
