500 HP

210 mile charge in 20 min.

Not for me yet.
 
I don't see that carrying a snowmobile or an iron hemi longblock or towing a 24 foot enclosed.
This is why everyone should just forget globalization. Europeans and Asians should build and design stuff for themselves and we should do the same.
 
I've seen a rivian truck pulling what looks like about a 28 foot boat with two outboards a few times close to my neighborhood.

New, maybe next year. Said to start at $65K and up to $90K with full options. Looks cool.
Looks like a Ford all dressed up with cat colors

I saw that a while back, reading on the -www-

Nope not at the prices right now...

maybe a nice TRX with low miles for a steal...
even only then, it'd probably a pass

No EV crap in my future, not now not ever

I like my 99 Dakota SLT 4x4 just fine 62k miles now
should last another 20 years+ still
I got the 2020 Launch Edition/Limited Jeep Rubicon Gladiator,
($62k MSRP I got for $52K out the door, after tax & lic. BS),
after I bought teh Maverick Lariat AWD, traded that back in
huge mistake he didn't end up liking, too low to the ground
but he had to have it, glad I don't own that anymore too

The Jeep still with less than 20k miles (on the chassis) too
& a new 5 years/100,000 mile factory warr. engine,
with only like 5k miles on it now
thanks;
to my dad putting 3/4s a tank of diesel in it,
then driving until hydro-locking it :blah:
a year or so ago Sept. (?) took till end of Jan to get it back
& took months, just to get a new engine from Jeep/Pentastar V6
plant in Ohio, that's closing now, thanks to the UAW greed
$14k+ to replace :realcrazy:, $120-$200 an hr shop labor rate, on a $7K new motor
(I should have put a 392 Hemi in-it)
thank goodness the insurance company took care of most of it
(extortion company I've paid for ever, with no claims, have finally paid for something)
or dad was going to have a huge expense on his bank account...

I ain't buying anything new for a while, if ever
& that Jeep, Maybe/Might be my last new purchase too...

I don't have $110,000.00 burning a hole in my pocket at this time! If I buy a pickup, it'll be
an 80's model gas job that I can still see the spark plugs.
 
Makes me think when International built the CAT big road tractors— try to get parts for that disaster! International also builds GM cab and chassis medium duty trucks— talk about a nasty combination for future repairs: Isuzu/ Gm engine, little Allision trans, Gm cab, International frame= Chevzunational! Ever try to get GM top kick parts? Or even Ford F650& 750 parts? Those companies dumped on the consumer hard core.
 
Interesting that caterpillar seems to have killed their heavy dump truck project after just 1 or 2 years...and now rebadged ford pickups?

I've seen an International/Navistar badged chevy pickup recently as well.
