If the price holds, consider my intrigued.

I'd rather that Toyota for 10,000 with a gas engine, but this might be something

150 miles? Is that with the AC on full blast in the Texas summer?

Very interesting.

It feels like there is a real market opportunity at the low end of the pickup truck market. Smaller and simpler and cheaper.

Article with photos of the suspension and some basic design info. Wish there was a LFP battery option

Man I wish you could get a gas truck this cheap. It'd be a best seller among service companies.

You can't buy a 2 door short bed mid sized truck anymore and even the base trim extended cab Frontier is over $32k.

These are reportedly starting at about $27,000. With all the customizable options, I'm sure most will be $32,000 or more. The "around $20,000" that I've been hearing is basically after electric vehicle credits

Absolutely love this. tickles all of my practical sensibilities

With that being said, I'll likely buy a kei truck before I buy this.

It's like the new Scout EV, but based on the Bronco II.

150? What a pathetic flex
