Yeah, Tesla seemed to be solely aiming for ground clearance numbers so they just jacked the suspension up to max for “off road mode” and forgot about the whole articulation thing suspension needs to do.

So how do they beat “just about everything” off road?

Yeah Subaru owners tend to see sand hills and gravel roads as the true pinnacle of off-road...

Like any other vehicle with an air suspension / off road mode, you lose most articulation when it’s raised to it’s full height. Except the CT seems even worse somehow, it’s like they pump them rigid.  Combine that with utterly terrible programming on the traction control and you get a big shiny turd off road.

It also gained a pretty decent off-road trim with the Pro-4X. Starting at a not bad $36,640 for two-wheel drive Pro-X or $39,460 for the four-wheel drive Pro-4X (and only available in the crew cab configuration), you get a locking rear diff, all-terrain tires, Bilstein shocks, hill start assist and hill descent…

Huh? The R1T is slightly bigger than the standard mid-size truck dimensions. Also, it’s ‘only’ 3.5 tons.

White, with patches of grey primer where the paint peeled off!

A GM will run worse longer than most cars will run.

Article just made me think about the various vehicles I’ve owned and what transmissions they had.

Thanks man

I’ve never owned a vehicle with more than 6 speeds. Xterra was a 5 speed auto, ZR2 is a 6 speed auto, Cramro was a 6 speed manual, both motos are 6 speed manual. Not counting bicycles, I guess.

I wasn’t quite that lucky, but I bought a SS 1LE in 2018 and sold it for about $1k more than I paid in 2021.  It looks like prices on them are finally starting to come down.  

Because it’s just one of those Chinese made $500 electric kid’s toys with some ‘cybertruck’ plastic.  My brother bought one for his kids this past summer and I put it together, looked exactly the same as this Cyberquad.

Being a wrench in a bike shop starting at the age of 15 gave me some great hand / forearm strength.  Actually about the only thing keeping me in shape right now is the blue collar portion of my job..

Clicking and commenting on the article shows engagement, which contributes to more articles like this being published.  So if you’d like to see more, keep doing what you’re doing!

So what you’re saying is that there is nothing on the market like this?

Which trucks are for sale currently with a parallel hybrid drivetrain?

Which one was that? I guess I really only know about the Thursday night Victoria shows which just happen to be by Enki.

This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for in a hybrid vehicle.  Electric for the daily commute and no worries about range or sitting around waiting to charge on a road trip.
