They don't make hardly any 8' beds on mid sized pickups. Pretty much everything is 5.5' which makes a trailer a requirement.
I always have to laugh when I see a pickup with a trailer. The empty bed is always a nice extra touch. Like imagine paying an absolute shit ton on an expensive ass truck that eats gass like there's no tomorrow, just to end up using a trailer anyways!
Want to see something strange but interesting, check out the Telos Truck. Can fit an 8 foot by 4ft piece of plywood in the back, has 4 doors, and is the length of a mini Cooper lol. The look is strange, but at least it shows companies trying to shake up what people think of as utility
Holy shit, I have a new electric truck to keep an eye out for! That thing is perfect!
Yeah, I wouldn't need more than 250 miles, the upgrade would just add extra weight I don't need. Also 30 minutes charging is fine.
If I drive 100 miles, I am perfectly fine sitting down for an hour and having a meal.
Cool concept, but ugly. They should have just copied the VW design
Yeah it looks better with the back covered, or I think it might look better without the back doors as well. One key difference there though is the microbus is 2 feet longer. I don't need to go 0-60 in 4 seconds, seems a bit much for any vehicle, but that's nice for some people lol
