I think they will make a great work truck most guys don't put on 200mi a day in a service truck or a tool box you drive to the job .

That is a suckers bet . Xlt or big horn at most .hell fully loaded trucks are suckers bets even for mall crawlers.

Still more than most guys need in a work day . I would buy one if there were any around .

If and when they make a 250 or a 350 and have respectable range towing, you'd have to be an idiot Not to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys should do a range test of the base battery with the bed loaded with tools and shit and couple guys in the truck see what it gets that be interesting.

I don't think the weights matter as much as the aero . Good aero topper with out a ladder rack I don't think it would effect range a whole lot . I do know speed kills range . The cross country video those guys did proves that and they were only rolling 80 . Fuck I roll 80 as the norm all over the metro . If on the open highway I bounce of the limiter regularly . At lest 1 time a mo . A lot less now that I sold my cabin I would bounce of the limiter at least 4 times a week then . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
