I want a DJ (2500) with diesel, but the payment scared me off. More power to those who can afford it, but I can't justify it for the few times a year I would tow with it.

The $100 to get on the list gets you basically nothing. First access to an unknown truck, with unknown features for an unknown price. Who would not want to jump in on that deal


Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Best advice ever! My friend loves his so much, he bought a second one! You should cancel that PC order for the stupid EV and get one of these while you still can,or before my friend buys all of them, which ever comes first! Potato is right they will start making real vehicles once they figure out that going woke makes them go broke!

I see Chrysler being owned by another company in the not too far future from doing such bad business ideas.

This goofy looking electric Charger with the fake exhaust sounds will be the death nail for the Dodge division! Yesterday they wanted to give my boss a new electric Wrangler and he turned it down, he said thanks but no thanks I'll just keep driving the 2004 Blazer,not interested in electric vehicles. If we hang tough and don't buy them they will have to make what sells.

To each his/her own. But not to comply with what we are ordered to do.

You dinosaurs better get on board smile Its gonna happen.

Us dinosaurs have no interest in electric vehicles or letting them force us into buying them! If you want to go woke good luck! P.S. Teslas are butt ugly cars,I would never be seen in one,I don't care if it could fly me to the moon,not interested!

They're pulling a fast one on everyone with this truck. They showed the concept a couple weeks ago, then debut this truck that looks nothing like it. Now people are thinking it has all the features that the concept had and it doesnt

Never electric!!! I watched a guy the other day at a EV station with a new Ford truck. He was pacing around while it was charging. I went in to buy groceries. When I came back out he was still pacing. Hope he wasn't in a hurry to get somewhere. If there were any real advantages, I haven't seen any. Time it takes to charge, Cost of vehicle, Cost of future replacement batteries, Limited when towing (range and battery life) Lack of charging stations. Lack of service stations for EVs, Not to mention most EVs are butt ugly. You can wait on a list all you want. I won't be giving you any competition in getting one.

Many are used as farm trucks around here. Mine is not, in fact ive hardly driven it but will at some point.

I dont fault the guy going ELE. Weather the OP or anyone its there money and thats that. I do see many complain about things in life that at the end of the day is the result of the choices they made and only fall on them vs an outside source used as an excuse to cover there faulty decision making.
