Automakers are designing pickup trucks that are bigger and bolder - with heftier price tags
Chevy's upcoming truck, the Silverado EV will be the hottest commodity in Chevrolet showrooms when it arrives next year. The pickup truck is fully-electric.
It has no electric motor to power the pickup, but a standard 6.2 liter V8, the biggest one Chevy offers these days. The big difference is underneath, with a raised ride height, special springs and specially-tuned shocks. Add in grippy off-road tires, and you've got a pickup that can really tackle the rough stuff.
Ram got in on this segment a couple of years ago with the supercharged TRX, becoming the king of both horsepower, and price tag, starting at nearly $80,000. Like Chevy and Ford, Ram has big plans for electric trucks, but also knows there are those who want something like this, and are willing to pay for it.
The commonality with these super-capable pickups is that they're all bold and big. Big both in terms of cost to own, and literally their physical size. They often won't fit in some residential garages. But soon, another extra-capable truck will be coming along in a much smaller size.
