Hi Mercedes, Brazilian here! My uncle actually owns one of these with the 6 cylinder MWM. The rear doors are fiberglass based on the crew cab F250 doors, but made to fit on the single cab chassis on which the “truckdan” is based on. Everything from the B pillar back is fiberglass.

Following the letter but not the spirit of the law. When people have to skirt stupid laws, you get stupid results like this.

It’s like the Craigslist version of this:

I assume they’re just the regular F250 rear door with a custom cut out at the bottom for the shortened wheelbase? Or perhaps an Excursion door with a similar modification to the bottom?

They didn’t really rebrand it so much as brought it back. The Voyager was marketed as a Chrysler for a few years after Plymouth folded in 2000. Now it’s just a decontented Pacifica with the pre-facelift front end.

While I don’t necessarily agree, I was at least following your logic until the end. Why exactly would you save the Italian brand that has less name recognition, much lower sales, and only one model? I mean, we’d all hate to see Lancia die, but if they’re giving any thought to the American or Chinese markets, Chrysler…

Rebadging Peugeot’s as Chrysler’s solves a few problems and makes the most sense.

I agree with you on not consuming cars needlessly, though there are considerably cleaner ICE cars lol. I drive a nine year old gas powered economy car and I will not be getting rid of it until there are sustainable and affordable EV options.

You're fighting the good fight, but the piss in a bottle edge cases are gonna throw up their hands because different cars are good at different things. These are the same people flipping out because there have been 240 adverse reactions to 20 million covid vaccinations, or whatever the number is today.

You do so many 2,500 mile road trips that it is the primary driver in your vehicular decision making process? Stop cherry picking the circumstances that EV cars are specifically not suited for while ignoring the vast majority of journeys are tailor made for EV usage.

It’s very common, here and elsewhere, for writers to give a synopsis of a video that they are writing an article about. Done well, it builds interest in the video and encourages people to go watch it in a way that merely saying, “Here’s a video about a thing, go watch it,” does not.

You want the author to essentially steal the work of a youtuber who relies upon views for their income?

If you’re nerdy enough it’s well worth the time for this video. His are all fairly long and rather involved but interesting when he compares things on his whiteboard with so much detail and math.

I don’t consider it to be a shitty job. Hell, they have it better than UPS and FedEx drivers do - Amazon trucks are air-conditioned. Others here, Orlove included, seem to think it must be (and heaven forbid your employer wants to monitor what you are doing).

Sorry, I can’t see being an Amazon driver as “terrible working conditions”. Those trucks even have A/C - the courier cars I drove in college did not. They are under pressure to deliver while not killing people in accidents - boo-hoo.

The problem is a lack of training combined with a low wage and incentives surrounded by unrealistic expectations. That’s why the company is blamed.

There’s also a huge training gap between Amazon drivers and UPS/FedEx.

The problem is the drivers.

If jobs were supposed to be enjoyable, they would call it going to fun, not going to work. <shrug>

Take a shitty job, win stupid prizes? Is that how that goes?
