It's weird to see a new vehicle announced like this that's not an EV. I wonder what it's like launching a gas truck when new battery-powered trucks are looming in the distance (or already here).
Well, you all know the answer.

There are many great EV cars. But when you have a trailer or caravan we still talk about a heavily reduced range (and often they aren't allowed to pull at all, or weight limits get a problem, at least in Europe)
The interesting thing in the US is that a lot of pickups, possibly most of them, are purchased for regular daily driving. None of the people I know with pickups have trailers.
Is there anything special in making a $21k gas truck in 2026? I’m guessing you could get a second hand gas truck for this price?
I tow quite heavy things with it, taking 3500kg trailers a long way off road.

Ultimately, life in highly developed countries is largely about the wants, not the needs, and different cultures emphasize different wants. The tech culture of the SF Bay Area doesn't glamorize big trucks, but it glamorizes making millions of dollars with no regard for privacy or social impacts of the tech we build.

I love seeing Ram 6000 Max Diesel Rampage Pros who’s sole job is going to work and Walmart.
Because we hate you, and need to make some money off it
