I have a friend with a Rivian and it truly is amazing according to him.

But I am truly shocked that Buster is contemplating a "laptop battery sled" after years of complaining about them.

My complaints have always been that this process turns what once was a cool part of our lives (cars) into strictly utilitarian appliances. But it's great if you are in the market for a utilitarian appliance. EVs have basically ruined the performance car market and the technology really is better suited to something like a city truck.

Guaranteed they’re making a small electric. That was announced, they just didn’t call it a ranger - yet.

I meant more of the specs. They are definitely making an EV Ranger, but they're not going to let it compete with the F150 Lightning. My bet would be smaller motors (like 250hp, 350tq) for better range, and tow rating of 5k or under. Still a very useful city truck that could carry a couch, or dirt bike though.

I hear you, and the specs you mentioned will be suited for the Maverick EV - with probably 4K towing.

Current ranger tows 7500, I can’t see them dropping to 5k. Never know though, you could be right.

All I can say is the lightning will be upgraded in a big way for the next Gen truck due in 2026, (27MY).

Edit: removed some towing numbers. Had the silly cyber truck in my head.

Put a deposit on a Silverado RST today.

You're welcome for the interest free loan GM. Enjoy.

I think this is my favorite version of the GM EV triplet trucks. I wish I could just call GM and tell me to give me whichever is available first, Denali, Hummer, Chev.

Sweet. Only a matter of time before large SUVs are electrified.

Our main family hauler is going to be gas for a while, I think. But an EV truck is a perfect second vehicle.

Parked the RL next to a Rivian this weekend and Home Depot and noticed they were roughly the same overall dimensions. That took me by surprise as these appear huge in all the pictures and videos I've seen.

Great looking truck. I wish I could afford one.

The hummer is way smaller in person too

If they were legitimately available, and didnt have the creaky roof, I could be convinced to buy one.

Fucking a mans boyfriend is downright disrespectful. Even worse when it's another beyond.ca member. I thought we were all on the same team on here?

grindr group chat?

Old whores talking about soup?

If these guys ever get off the starting line I think their styles are actually pretty sweet to an older school guy like me...

The cars look great, not a fan of the suv or truck personally

Ford USA have no availability on 2023 Lightnings (i assume, it says "current model year") due to popular demand

At an LA DWP site this week and they have a bunch of them as crew trucks
