I suppose there's a non-zero chance this is good news for the true 5th gen HDs

Electric pickups a possibility, FCA CEO says, as it updates product plans

The Italian American automaker has been slow on to adopt electric vehicles and mum on the possibility for its Ram pickups

I wonder what the official plans are for Warren for the gap between October and 2Q21 when the Wagoneers are supposed to start production? I suppose there's technically a non-zero chance that the HDs could finally make the move, but it's probably more likely that a different product will fill the production gap.

Any scuttlebutt on what Warren's going to be cranking out for that 5+ month gap?

HD production is staying at Saltillo, last I read.

I read the same.

Yeah, I've read the same, though it's not outside the realm of possibility that FCA pulls a switcheroo.

That said, it's far more likely something else will be produced in the meantime, but I'm drawing a complete blank on what vehicle(s) it could be. I can't see FCA leaving the factory running at reduced capacity for 5+ months, so I'm sure something besides just the 5G 1500 will be produced there.
