If I can't put a service bed or a stake bed or a dump bed on it is it a truck? Why would I want a truck with a bed shorter than a loader bucket? We need electric trucks that can replace the thousands of 200,000k mile fleet vehicles out there. This is just a tall El Camino.
I would take an electric el Camino in a heartbeat.
Touche. So would I.
My Honda pickup is also basically a tall el Camino. For us, and the majority of people, it’s great. All wheel drive that favors the front wheels (Lockable at low speed) for beaches and slick roads, full independent suspension to keep the tires planted, enough ground clearance for mountain roads, enough towing for a small camper (but 5k limit is not doing heavy work), and a bed to haul stuff. I’m not a contractor or farmer that needs a real truck, so the compromises that make it better on wet or slick roads is perfect.
But I agree, we need F150 lightnings too for the contractors and farmers.
A truck bed that can't hold an adult bicycle is a joke.
Which makes it a much more dangerous and deadlier El Camino
