Unless you are really doing a lot of RV-ing and towing, get a Lightning/Silverado EV/Cybertruck/Hummer/Rivian or whatever fancies you. Many of my friends who used to drive an ICE pickup for work/lifestyle or whatever reason have all switched to EV pickups or are just waiting for their lease to be up to switch to one.
The reason is simple: gas price.
Prices of pickups is nothing to think twice about, it is what it is. But if that pickup is going to be your main driver, the gas is going to be a major factor. Most my pickup friends used to spend easily $700+ every month in gas alone and there are many who spend 1000+ because they also need it for work as well. By going EV, even for a pig like Hummer, we are talking about $200 in hydro bill.
For RV-ing and towing in general, unless you are going into the middle of nowhere, EV trucks can do that without much of an issue other than more frequent stops than their ICE-counterpart since DC charger is a lot more abundant along major highways now. However, many of us who don't really do RV/towing all that often, we either just suck it up with the charging or rent an ICE truck if we really need that.
The saving is quite substantial.
