Excellent! Bestop has a $1600 slant-back top (often $1300 on sale) for the 2-door Bronco that would adapt perfectly for the Open Air Slate SUV.

Could the rack towers from Slate be used on an Open Air SUV? Or would the attachment points for the two get in each other's way? I don't see a choice in the Maker for adding rack towers to the Open Air SUV model, or either of the hardtop SUV models either. Doesn't necessarily mean it couldn't be...

The roll-bars for the open-air SUV look like the perfect framework for a canvas convertible soft-top, like a Wrangler or a Bronco might get. Nothing is offered or even hinted at by Slate. I wonder how long it would take a third-party vendor like Bestop to come out with one. That's assuming Slate...

I wonder if a simple clear coat would work for shiny?

The Weatherman: I did not know that the Hyundai Santa Cruz was cancelled. My local Hyundai dealer still has 2026 Santa Cruz models in stock. Did they cancel the 2027 model?

Do you know what the Ford UEV none-AWD package is? FWD or RWD? I have been driving RWD trucks for 30 years, so I...

One responder who has driven regular rear-drive pick-up trucks mentioned axle hop as a problem on bumpy roads. I believe the Slate has a De Dion rear suspension rather than the typical solid axle found on a standard pick-up truck. If so, that should eliminate axle hop. Ford Maverick pick-ups...

Yes, that is helpful information, thanks.

How about a cocoa-mat option?

me too

Not the prototype, which I have read is subject to (possible) change, but the real thing. I am wondering if the shade of gray is the same, for instance, or whether the rough matte surface is a given. I am not against gray in general, but I don't like the flat surface. To me it just looks a bit...

just asked Slate and the answer is still the same: haven't decided yet
