Crnr2Crnr Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I'd like them to give a hybrid truck a shot again. The last one was an abysmal failure. Combine the baby Duramax with an EV drive that works up to 25-30mph and there's no range anxiety and the fuel economy would be stellar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 GM better do something. They could start by firing that piece of shit CEO. The latest tear down of GM’s Hummer battery was an embarrassment. What a humiliation. Ford and GM are so far away from fielding an EV they should just give up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought my first ram in 2015 because I felt it was superior. Bought second ram in 2021. Great trucks. But family cars have always been gm. Right now I am about fed up with American brand vehicles. Next personal vehicle is probably going to be jap or German. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just adopted the Tesla Charging Standard following Ford. GM stock is pushing up today and Tesla’s stock is on the rocket ship to the moon so far this year.

Doorider Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Same, over GM shit. Our Tahoe was a POS, traded for an X7 and couldn't be happier. The B58 engine has way more balls than the 5.3 and averages about 5-6 mpg better. Build quality, ride and handling are light years ahead as well. I have a colorado right now that's a pos as well, but you're pretty limited if you want a small truck. I'll never own another GM unless they make some major changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telsa was first to bring one that works. They will be the usb cord of the ev market 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
