Ez ryder Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 If they were not jacking prices 20k + for the xl work truck I would buy a base line for a work truck this week . But every dealer is jacking the shit way up. I taked to a chev dealer few weeks back . They can't guerntee a price on thete new one for next yr . Not even a 10g window . So you pretty much give them 100 bucks for zero delivery time window or a price you will pay . Merca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need I would still own a few gas trucks . I would not but one as my non work truck . That would just be fucking horrid attempting to yank a trailer full of sleds or pulling the toy hauler with a quad in the bed and a sxs in the camper . Don't think there are enough charging stations or hrs in the day to get to the trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it at least 50% of truck buyers tow from time to time .and when they do they go much further than 100mi . I think the f150 hybrid is better suited for the said 80%. But I would say 80% of fleet pu trucks it us perfect for and 80% of work trucks it is perfect for . Most don't go that far and park in a shop or at home 3very night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have to be quite a generator. I'd also worry about the battery. I'd want to see factory testing of say jamming 50 kw/h in while pulling 50 kw/h out. My guess is it would not like it one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 As I have made mention, did 7,500 miles in 13 days going across the country and back... that includes national parks, attractions, points of interest, all that crap. From the time we got to Arizona it was all on the fly with no real plans. That is something you would (realistically) not be able to do.

When in Lake Havasu we were given a hotel recommendation by 'a local' I know. Right where we wanted to be in respect to the area. When asked what to do were we needing a charge, an EV expert told me 'Stay at the hotel up the street that has the charger'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
