I agree with Twintornadoes, your specific capacity ratings are listed on your yellow and white Tire and Vehicle Loading Information sticker. That is the starting point. From there, your capacities only decrease as you add things like people, a tonneau cover, etc. -

Yes, but the points I was making were about what is going to happen once that 55 gallon drum is empty. And that will happen relatively quickly when towing across the plains of Nebraska and then you hit the foothills and Rocky Mountains. It’s irrelevant if that Pentastar is driving the wheels or not. Once the battery energy obtained from the garage wall plug is depleted, then the ICE is supplying 100% of the power to move a heavy truck and trailer while at the same time suffering the inefficiencies inherent with a series hybrid system. The inevitable result is slow towing speeds that will be unacceptable to many (probably most) truck owners.

Actually this isn't true because the engine is not driving the wheels - it's charging the battery so you get the same performance as when it was on a fully charged battery. I expect the engine to run while the battery is depleting so that you lose the charge more slowly as opposed to waiting for the battery to discharge then firing up the ICE. Sort of like emptying a 55 gallon drum with a 1/2" hose while filling it with a 3/8" hose. It just empties a lot slower.

Yes, but my thoughts regarding my “falling on its face” comment was not about MPG. It was about being severely underpowered (at least in the case of the RAM REV) once the battery is depleted. You have a heavy pickup (7500 lbs for RAM REV) that is going to struggle with a 3.6 V6 Pentastar even without a trailer. Add a heavy trailer (RAM is boasting 14,000 lb tow limit) and it will be a miserable towing experience. Likely 45ish max MPH on flat roads and much worse climbing a grade. Pulling a trailer across the plains of Nebraska and then attempting to climb the Rockies is going to be horrible in the RAM REV. The F-150 Powerboost will handle the above scenario very well and why a HEV will be far superior to an EREV. I think Akirby is correct, HEVs will be the preferred choice when the EREV false compromise is understood by truck buyers.

Another drawback for longer trips is having to both fill up with gas and charge the battery for max range. I doubt the range will be more than 200 miles on just a tank of gas with no battery. I still think folks who aren't crazy about BEVs will prefer ICE and BEV fans who don't tow long distances would prefer the simplicity of a BEV. Leaving a very small slice of the market for BEV fans who tow long distances.

Maybe a subwoofer connection?

At least now I can put a name with all the lame Auto Express illustrations that have been 100% wrong over the years. -

Looks like a solid mid-cycle update. not crazy about the center screen but big screens are popular, especially in China.
