☆ Ram unveils electric truck concept with seats in the bed
  + stars: | 2023-01-05 | by ( Peter Valdes-Dapena | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
The Ram 1500 Revolution concept truck, unveiled Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, provides an early look at several features Ram’s future electric truck could have, including a rear passenger cabin wall that folds away, leaving the truck cab fully open into the cargo bed. Designers plan to use the "tuning fork" light design seen inside and outside the Ram Revolution concept in production versions of the truck. The concept truck has doors that open outward from the center with no pillar in the middle. The Ram 1500 Revolution concept has two electric motors, one powering the back wheels and one for the front, giving it all-wheel-drive. The electric Ram truck won’t go on sale until some time in 2024.

CNN —The Ford F-150 Lightning was named MotorTrend’s 2023 Truck of the Year on Tuesday, making it the second electric pickup in a row to win that award.

It’s also another sign that electric power is making its mark among America’s most popular type of vehicle. The Ford F-150 Lightning has a large storage area under the hood instead of a gas engine. The F-150 Lightning was a unanimous winner among the MotorTrend’s seven jurists.

☆ Doubters swore they'd never give up their F-150 to go electric - but she changed their minds. Here's how
  + stars: | 2022-10-30 | by ( Ryan Hogg | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The F-150 Lightning has had 200,000 orders and helped create a new generation of truckers.

The electric F-150 Lightning can also be used as a power source. Towing was the other major barrier, as many potential customers feared the electric version would not have the same power as the petrol-fueled equivalent. "The significance of the F-150 Lightning in modern automotive manufacturing cannot be overstated," said the AAA's Brannon.
