I'm late to this conversation, but this CEO is a person who sells a RAM that starts at $40,000 but most really cost $60-70,000 which makes him a bit of a hypocrite. Secondly, this is also a manufacturer who has made all the wrong moves in their product planning which is why they are nearly...

Being one of the first 2022 Maverick owners, and continuing to own it there have been plenty of recalls to manage. It hasn't meant there have been problems with the truck so much, just extra things they had to do here and there to prevent things from becoming problems. At least one round of the...

I think the experience will be more simple, no salespeople, no sitting around waiting. Point, click....like ordering a box of K-Cups from Amazon (except there's a credit app if you are financing).

I suspect some of the add-ons won’t be nearly as affordable as we think they might be. I think in that way self-control will be dictated by budget.

2.7-3.0 miles per kWh is not out of line really. I have tested several EVs from the likes of Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Hyundai, VW and Ford that were in the same arena. The Chevrolet Bolt is one of the most efficient EVs out there. It has much smaller tires and is more aerodynamic. Also, this being a...

Someone made the comparison to Scout, having already announced their warranty intentions. It’s easy for them to do that. They’re a subsidiary of Volkswagen, a company who already knows how to do this and has that stuff in the can. This is a new company with a new product. They’re probably...

Buy something else? The warranty will be up on my Ford Maverick, January 2027 and it will be time to get rid of it. Either another Maverick or something similar would probably suffice.

No

It’s not that big of a deal. People make way too much of a purchase decision on an automobile. It’s a product off a shelf, not a marriage.

Electrically assisted rack and pinion steering.

A debate Im also having. Better drivability and payload vs range. With the weight and decreased capability the larger battery however comes a better resale position. Will have to see what the upspend is.

Given the state of play right now it’s unlikely the powertrain would be imported. They stated at intro that it would be manufactured here including the battery.

The only place the Toyoa Stout exists is in the click bait of content creators on the Internet. It certainly isn’t on a product plan anywhere at Toyota. It’s been talked about for over four years, gets great traffic, and has made a lot of people a lot of money. But don’t be looking for one from...

There is no Toyota Stout.

One of the most common misconceptions about tow ratings is that it’s about the horsepower. It isn’t. It’s about the platform stability of the chassis, brakes, suspension, and the durability of the drivetrain itself around cooling. It’s about can it handle the weight safely and will it last.

Features like this are the antithesis of this product. They entirely miss the point and mission of it.

If your daily use is less than 150 miles,……yes. The Amazon electric delivery vans which are ubiquitous in my home city have about a 150 mile range.

Yay

It's fine. No different than the sensation of engine braking when letting off the gas and decelerating in an ice vehicle with rear wheel drive, or down shifting with the manual. Regenerative braking typically only gets up to 10 to 15% total braking capacity before hydraulic brakes are actuated...

I have had wraps on a couple of cars. Just as resilient as paint but easier to change or repair.
