To be fair, that would make an amazing pickup truck.

“$185,000 Porsche has better fit and finish than a $100,000 Tesla. More latebreaking news at 11.”

Easy: Toyota Hilux regular cab.

The problem is it has a backseat (and an enormous rear hatch area). Killers love hiding in the back seat. 

Until you hit the barbed wire tripwire and clothesline yourself. 

It’s the same interior space as the ICE version. The vehicle platform was designed from the beginning to support BEV, PHEV, and ICE drivetrains.

Why they just can’t measure and publish an EPA range, I have no idea. It can’t be that difficult, can it?

I want a Skydio drone spotter. The Skydio is an autonomous drone with a dizzying array of sensors and processing hardware to automatically track a target and smoothly plot its own course around obstacles. It’s 100% right at home on tight tree-lined trails, and doesn’t require any direct piloting.

Sure: this one. The Eufy doorbell camera has 4GB of built-in internal storage. No cloud or NAS required.

I agree, though the US doesn’t really have this class of commercial truck here, so I’m not sure what platform it would be built off of. The Ford Transit is the closest one that comes to mine, but the “Class B Plus” Transit-based RVs tend to cater to the retired couple crowd with prices up in the high five digits.

There are other JDM RVs that come up for sale that have AC units, but of course, you could install one as well. 

Don’t be so sure. I’m 6'1" and have stayed in numerous small Japanese hotels. Yeah, the beds can be a little short, but not uncomfortably so (I sleep on my side anyway), and the bathrooms, though EXTREMELY space efficient, are still perfectly usable.

I just think the Class Bs sold in the US are WAY too expensive for what they are. Those Revels are well over $100k for what’s basically a contractor van with a foam mattress and a porta-potty.

Yeah, it’s common in Asia to use small portable gas or butane cooktops, even in homes. That covered bin is for placing a cooktop into. 

You want to live in a tiny trailer with no toilet and shower? I get the whole wanderlust minimalism mentality, but set yourself up for success first.

I dunno, everyone I know that owns a boat agrees that boats are holes you through money into.

Nobody mentioned a 944?

I actually like the Frontier interior. The current truck dates back to the Bush administration, so I can excuse the dated interior as a relic of its era.

In all Asian countries I’ve been to, it’s extremely rude to stand in the middle of the escalator, and people will say something to you if you do. This has proven true in Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan.

Yes, but if you believe Subaru’s ads, they continually state that 95% of Subarus from 10 years ago are still on the road today. Sure cars don’t last forever, but people tend to hang onto their Subarus, and when they go to sell them, they retain insane high resale value (in my area anyway), so the used market is very
