The new Hunter EV appears to be selling well where I am. A mid-sized EV pickup would be something new. But it’s not a good pickup so a big NO from me. I’ve seen complaints about our underbody shielding and around the wheel wells. How about “no” underbody consideration. Shoppers don't see it, so let’s cut the spending.
Let’s see “how” the Ram arrives if it does. I won’t judge until there is a US product to look at.

Looking at the seperate "box bed".
Its still a Ranger competitor.
Would anyone make a Maverick-size on a body-on-frame ???

Exactly, the Ram Rampage is unibody, sold in Argentina, it's more likely the Mav's

I doubt it, re tooling a unibody production line or starting a new one would be expensive.

Remember, the Maverick, Bronco Sport and the discontinued Escape are basically similar,
Very similar unibodies.
Little vehicles, Stamp em out and robot weld them together Is the NWO now and forever.
