I love covers, S2000, Rolls? Bmw z8? All had em. They just clean everything up. Ive Ive n bumped a button though.

Cue everyone saying its not fair, or irresponsible, or dangerous.

RS ute huh... What are the laws on riding in the back of a pickup again...

As a Texan, I suspect its in image thing, bros would perfer being seen in a truck over an ecosport. I suspect the bean counters have an image of their best selling F150 in their heads as they approve this project too.

At least he called out all his dream cars recently. Now he will pay for his fame. 

Well said, crossovers will morf into spacious, dynamic, small vans. Lower ground clarance, better packaging, and and more aero styling. Partially as an efficiency thing, partially as a space is luxury thing, and partially as people get used to taller vehicles being sexy.

Can I nominate the dream team of nissan Rogue and jeep Compass. They exemplify the worst of crossovers. Slow, not spacious, uncomfortable, poorly built... The seats font even fold flat in the jeep! And nissans infotainment!? Trash. At least the ford is well built and has sync.

A Ram toro would be neat.

Make them 4x as big so wave danger is quartered and use them for shipping between Shanghai and LA.

I almost bought a magnum and shopped them pretty heavily. I couldnt live with the seats, and interior, but those have both been updated now. I rented a charger of a week trip and really enjoyed it. There is still a ‘prestige’ feel to driving a big body v8 sedan. The infotainment is nice, the car drove fine, and i they…

I totally agree that most people who buy trucks want to claim they can do those things, but dont actually ever do them. I think Tesla can sell to this market. But for a real contractor, if he needs to tow a utility trailer to a house, unload building materials, run to homless depot to get the extra calking, run back,…

280hp, 6000lbs... Idk if I could take out a 7 year loan for that.

Tfl said the z71 has 1 in lift, and the air suspension was set to "high" mode which lifts an additional in for the reveal. Invisible hand at work.

I think this is a big factor. EV’s arent auited to real truck duties, like towing my race cat to houston and back for a track day, or building materials to build a house, or road tripping to colorado for a quick weekend getaway and doing some car camping. But they can replace brodozers as long as they are cool. Add…

Tesla does not make body on frame vehicles

That sounds awesome, where do I apply?

But its not a road trip tow rig. Its a take your boat to the lake rig. And mostly a "cool truck"

As a 6ft person who often sits in the back of trucks, I think F150's are too tall. Its ok of the backseat has slightly less headroom.

I just dont understand all the troglodytes out there who are picking on this truck. It is not supposed to be a contractors rig, its a lifestyle vehicle, like an escalade, gladiator, or Raptor. As pointed out in the article, it does do everything but towing better than the competition, and it looks wilder, and it is a…

Yep, I think Mercedes perfected the door handle on the w123 cars... Just pull. Maybe add in a keycode and proximity locks for modern day convinience.
