Maybe you folks want to try pulling (or stopping :shock: ) your new 20,000 pound boat (hitch) or 35,000 pounder
That was a fun video! Yes electric truck hybrids have been around but nothing like this.

Oh am I seeing a Chevrolet influance?? Or I’m just leaving more subliminal messages??

Definitely Matt.
The new Chevy 1500 is a great looking truck. Just think how nice a HD version of that styling might have looked....

The Chevy? Yeah, umm, no. It’s a duck.

Yeah, trucks are very expensive, but retail prices are always climbing which insures solid resale. Diesels are expensive, but the actual cost of ownership isn’t much more than gas because diesel resale is rock solid. Knowing Ford, they will surpass power/torque/towing capabilities when their numbers are released.
Ford lowered the 250, but the 350 remains the same height.
The 2019 RM 2500 is all new and just a fyi RAM has the highest resale value. I'll post some crazy specs on this truck later when I get back home. The lower trim level Even looks really nice. They lowered the entry into the truck. The rear flat floor is a great feature for dogs they even have dog dishes built into the floor and 76 cubic feet of room back there.

BB, correct me if I'm wrong.
I thought I read that the 20' Ram HD offers a new interior built on the same existing platform. The totally redesigned platform in the heavy doesn't debut until next year (2021MY).

My 2015 F150 and it's flat rear floor are not impressed.

I thought I knew something about trucks until a colleague gave me a ride in his high-powered, souped-up F150 with a 3.5L engine. That’s 210 cu. in. for you old-timers. Raptor something.

Don't guote me but I thought it was all new but it maybe just the frame up.

For those who know about Billy Fucillo, he would be proud of the honesty here.

Funny vid about lifted trucks.
