(11,949 posts)59. Yep. Your delving into stereotyping.
The wife drives a Toyota Tundra.
We pull a 4500lb boat regularly. Often for several hundred miles. No small car will do that.
Plus routinely carrying loads of everything from pants to furniture.
When an electric truck can fulfill our needs I would happily consider one. Just dont see that happening anytime soon. Pulling a trailer doubles your energy needs.

Mostly trips to the dump. We're in a small town but basically suburban, no industrial needs.

After the reveal, I think the point is moot. This is not a vehicle for contractors.

Likely so. They just introduced the Mustang Mach-E and partnered with Rivian on the platform

Probably delving into stereotypes here, but doesn't everything an EV has to offer

Simone Giertz got tired of waiting and made her own "Truckla."
