Hey if I can change my mind and drive a Ford you can change your mind and drive a Cybertruck

Does yours have the 8 speed? A 14 would be really affordable as a driveway mate for the Ranger. Want something that can tow.

Thankfully you won't have to worry they are supply constrained until 2023. Waiting to see a cybertruck with a ladder rack and Jersey plates in your driveway. It would look good there. And keep the B59 warm at night. What's not to love?

Given GM and the products of a lot of the 80 s and 90 s they have been throwing Cadillac away for decades. Why do you think Benz and BMW sell so many cars?

Although to be fair I love the Gladiator Just the sort of scientific mature response I thought you would give. I can spec out a GC I really like for about 36 large Base model with an off road package that includes several skid plates and a towing package. But then I can get a Gladiator or Unlimited Wrangler or Bronco for the same coin. Choices.

Nice 1956 Chevy and a vintage VW van in the background. How awesome is that? Pain in rural America...

I think the avalanche would look badass like that. Prefer kind of purposeful wheels on any kind of truck or SUV that is used for cosntruction, offroad, etc. Love the simple basic vibe of this Jeep Rubicon.

Neat old Cadillac...

Nice purpsoeful looking Bronco
-
Perfect examnple of a basic steelo wheel looking good. Looks purpsoeful and appropriate. This still looks good, but the black steel still looks bettter for an off road vehicle, IMHO. What I was saying about black wheels... This is just lindless bling... And this is a huge no.

This just has the look... More VW van goodness...

Interesting way for a solo female traveller to travel.

No, actually I think they can look fine. and for a vehicle that is going to see construction sites, off road use, or b e driven in the third world-outside of roads that are good like what we ahve in North america....Steel wheels can be bent back into shape by a mechanic in Guatamala with a second grade education, just like they can be bent back into shape by a rural Amish blacksmith with an 8th grade education, or replaced cheaply if you live in a place like Detroit and bend one on a pothole. Actually love the Bronco look with steel wheels. Big wheel and tire combos are over rated. I even prefer the look of wranglers on 33's rather than 37's. I am slomost to the point that I just like black wheels the best on any vehicle. If I ahd money, I would swap out the alloy silver wheels on my ranger for black ones. Happy Thanksgiving.

With time, Pickup buyers are a traditional lot. I almost see companies like Rivian and Lordstown and the like winning over luxury buyers whoa re looking for something new and different. Wife's boss and her partner just got a new full size domestic truck, crew cab. Donna, Amy's partner is turning her BMW SUV in at the end of the lease in a few weeks. They absolutely love the truck. The ladies love Kyaking and being outdoors, and the truck is infinitely more practical. They also both have dogs, so the additional room is really welcome. Plus, the Pickup rides and drives better than the BMW. So its a win all around. People like that will be the frotnline buyers for electrics. Also, Businesses. When an extermination business needs midsize trucks to go on rounds killing ants and termites, electrics might well be cheaper, mroe reliable and elss maintenance. I think that will be the second step. Third step will be people in Urban environments like NYC or Paris which will have more draconian pollution laws which will be ahrder and ahrder for ICE vehicles to meet. Guys like Balthazar are not going to be the front line buyers of these trucks. I go up and down steps dozens of times a day and do fine. I just no nlonger want to haul around 4 inch electrical conduit and sling it in over my head on an install. Enough hurts on me that I know I am very alive... See above, I am not sure you are going to be the front line target buyer of this. And dammit, I still want a full size diesel truck. I think RAM with a cummins would be awesome, but I would trust a GM truck more in terms of electrical issues and general build quality.
