As others have posted, that Willys truck is surprisingly complete and stock... so go for it. Here’s the plan:

I do want to see how this does off-road... and the RAV4 Prime with comparable tires as well.

Thanks. It was a trusty steed. Most of the photos are from SE Humboldt County in Northern California.

Replaced with this:

Dad bought a 1974 former USFS Dodge Crew Cab 4x4 short bed at a USFS auction in 1979 for $1450. It needed a new front left fender and driver’s door from a tree incident, but dad raided the boneyard and found replacements which he then repainted USFS light green. The thing was a beast. Huge engine. Huge cab with two…

Maserati is basically the Italian version of Vector - great for a poster, maybe.

Isn’t Hawaii an island? Aren’t we saying the same thing?

Uhh... except for a few islands, there are a very few “petroleum-powered” utilities.

New model in a new (to the model) factory equals... d’oh!

Government: Here’s cash.

Yes on the i3 and i8. However, BMW then went through several cycles of management who do strategy with a combination of yoyo and Magic 8 ball.

This is screaming for a PHEV... at least in my head.

This. That would be so sweet.  

Disappointed there is no plug-in hybrid version.  That would be sweet for off-roading. 

Looks like the tires are too big. 35" rubber looks more useful.

NV4500?

Awesome. Needs to be made into a movie.

I’ll pass on the diesel, but can’t wait for the plug-in hybrid option.

Yup. And depending on the route - long-haul trucks are limited by the hours in a day drivers can be behind the wheel before having to stop for rest, not by refueling time.
