Trucks are a horrible idea for an electric vehicle. I have a full-sized Silverado. I get about 18 mpg on the highway. If I have 500 lbs. in the bed and I tow a 6000 lb. trailer while running the air conditioning, I get 12 mpg. I drove it loaded like that from Atlanta in my normal time of 11 hours.

Now do that in an electric pickup truck. Your 800 mile range (optimistic claim from Rivian on their yet-to-be-released electric full-size pickup) will drop to something like 200 miles. You will have to stop 3 times to fully charge your battery. Let's assume it take 8 hours each time--which I imagine is a load of fun to do with a trailer in two. The 700 mile trip from Atlanta would take 35 hours instead of 11.
