Troll?

You have people commenting lol that you can fit 3-4 people into that tiny 3rd world truck. Literally rationalizing the ownership of a midget vs a full sized American pick up truck.

But I'm the troll. Ok. HAHA.

I think the "tiny" vehicle is mostly meant for worksites and small roads whereas the modern pickup truck is meant to subvert the EPA's definition of road class vehicle so that the company can produce less Eco-friendly vehicles to generate larger profit margins. Everything else is just the marketing working on middle America and the massive cope that comes with justifying that investment.

Didn't a German company - Stellantis buy the big three in order to force the car makers to go EV?

Stellantis

Stellantis is an Italian company, owner of FIAT, Chrysler and Peugeot, and they have no intention of doing EVs, they'd rather continue with the ICE cars they're already building profitably. Accountants do not like change to production lines.

And how they would force all American car makers to go EV, anyway? That doesn't make sense.

The Ram REV is due out before the end of the year. Stellantis has also committed to an electric sports car to replace the Challenger/Charger line. They has axed the hemi line in favor of a more economical i-6. Ford and GM are doing fairly well in the ev market. The main hold-up here in the states is infrastructure and price. I have hopes that both situations will be addresses in the next 4 years or so. While I don’t expect the situation to be perfect in that time, progress is progress.

Stellantis My fault, not German but Italian.

I have my facts upside down. Apparently there's plans to eliminate majority of ICE and replacing it with EV. My brother in-law works at Chrysler in downtown Detroit, he had explained the future plans of Chrysler. In SE Michigan you'll see the Chrysler Airflow driving around, they're wrapped in some black/white odd patterned vinyl.

I'll concede, I don't have any other information regarding the change.
