I could go into a long-winded explanation from personal experience demonstrating how wrong you are, but since you wouldn’t read it I’ll just use an example from my lunch break today.

Maybe its just me... but Toyota more or less doing the equivalent of “blowing its load” by showing a whole shit ton of EV’s was not the best plan. A lot of those car will probably never come close to production. Overall its sort of confusing and makes me not really care.

I’m having trouble understanding why people don’t get this. In the *price segment,* really all there is, is the Maverick and the Santa Cruz, and midsize pickups really are a whole lot larger.

“The old standby Honda Ridgeline is newly updated.”

I laughed when I read that quote and immediately thought of this. These people are all full of shit, it’s just funny when it is this obvious.

As the owner of multiple pickup trucks over 30 years, often not garaged. With a vertical window, I never found this to be a real problem for whatever reason. The windows just didn’t seem to collect condensation, or in the cases that they did, maybe I’m so used to using my outside mirrors that it never really was an…

It’s definitely not an Explorer. Slightly stretched Bronco Sport, more like.

It isn’t super important on a pickup truck tbh. My last one didn’t have it and it wasn’t an issue. 

This EV won’t work for me because the commute to my job is 20 miles each way and once I get there they don’t give me enough money to buy this car.

This is the 2021 version of replying “First” to an article.

More people off road their jeeps ( yes I know this is about broncos but similar enough) than sports car owners track day their cars yet there is so much hate just aimed in just one direction.

Depends on the truck, the 4-door trucks started internationally by the way, everyone blames the Americans for making everything too big, but it was the international market that created the 4-door truck and the midsize variants we have today.

This is where I remind people that 11500 lbs feet of torque sounds more impressive than it is.

I wouldn't even trust it in a bear attack.

That one of those new aluminum units? Truck made from steel should have survived that.

The US Dept of Energy claims that delivery trucks and light trucks/vans travel an average of 12,000 miles per year. If you assume 261 working days in a year you get an average journey of 46 miles per working day.

Ding ding ding.

Agreed. People thinking Ford is going to screw up the F-150 EV are nuts, IMO.

I was a designated “technical expert” at a Ford dealer. Theyd have me train the sales staff on the vehicles, and help out with any customers who had questions beyond what the average sales idiot could answer. Sales people suck at product knowledge because they have no time to learn it. Any time spent trying to know…

No car ever needed a V8.
