In addition to the frunk, there is a bit of space for small stuff storage behind the seats.

Similarly, international tow ratings are also not directly comparable with US tow ratings.

Nobody is 'mad at you for having an opinion'. But if you don't want to be confronted, don't be confrontational. It's not just what you say, but how you say it, that matters. "Trucks do not have 4 doors. If you need 4 doors, buy a station wagon. " "I don’t like four door trucks. If you happen...

With gas prices currently on the rise, it got me wondering at what point buying that additional 32 mpg fully-depreciated and unmaintained (POS) commuter even begin to actually make financial sense for that 'average' modern truck driver. It turns out that point isn't reached until gas exceeds...

If you need it to do this, you're not in the target market. Think of it as a Bolt with a bed rather than a mini-me Lightning.

It already is. ;)

It hasn't work that way since the 90's, when the engineering started getting advanced enough for them to direct the energy into pushing the engine down and under the car rather than back and into the passenger compartment. At that point, crumple zones became more effective at the same time as...

For more context, the SAE J2807 standardized towing capacity test was first introduced in 2008, and it did not see widespread manufacturer adoption prior to 2015ish. Any tow ratings prior to that were based entirely on vibes, if not hopes and dreams, rather than an actual engineering based...

1) All Mavericks sold have a 4.5' bed. The vast majority of mid-size trucks sold have a 5' bed. The vast majority of 1/2 ton trucks sold have a 5.5' bed. Sure there are people that genuinely need a 6', 6.5', or 8' bed, but they are the exception rather than the rule. 2) Fun fact: There is no...

I hope they use the shot of him jumping over the bed rail after presumably getting bored of trying to make a bunch of little 180s to protect the truck look cool.

It's not just DCT's. Cars with the latest generation of conventional (torque converter) automatics are also still generally faster, in addition to more efficient, than their manual counterparts. While not as quick shifting as a DCT, they still shift far faster and more consistently than a human...

With a conventional trunk space that people are already accustomed to using, I can see why a frunk where the engine would normally go might not get much use on conventional sedan, hatchback, and SUV style vehicles. However, on a pickup (even 4-door) a frunk would be immensely more useful.

How much for the 'Fast and Furious' package?...

The question is not if 7.2kW can power 'a' home, but if it can power 'your' (all electric) home. If you don't know your actual peak draw requirement, you could be in for a very expensive disappointment right when you need it most. For example: That first 'I powered my house with the F150...

The price increase is over what you'd normally otherwise drive, not just over a base engine F150... Unless that's what you'd normally otherwise drive. But wait, that's not all. The standard F150 Hybrid only has 120V, 20A, 2.4kW V2L power... And more importantly, the optional high output system...

A portable dual fuel (propane) generator is a LOT cheaper (and smaller) than getting an F150 lightning or hybrid just for a little emergency power once or twice every year or three. It doesn't need to be big enough to run the whole house, just a few key circuits.

In pictures they can at least pick from the five specific angles it looks 'ok' from. In person you're forced to see it from ALL of the other angles that it's clumsy, awkward, and ungainly from. Seen from directly in front or behind it looks downright frumpy. Then add in how wavy the large 'flat'...

Where there's a will... And a sawzall/welder... There's a way.

So they're "starting production" "on time" for the "Level-5-only" vehicle that they have yet to demonstrate being anywhere near Level 5 capable...
