I dont know how much gear, but in the the frunk.

But if you have a 1 year old maverick, it doesnt make sense to get a slate. You would be losing a lot of money.
I've got an open garage spot, I could keep them both. But then I wouldn't have anywhere for my growing pile of empty Amazon boxes......

OP, I hear your question. I drove small single cab trucks for 30+ years. Boy were those space-limited, but I'm a small-vehicle kind of guy. What I really needed all those years was the extended cab variant, where there was just 12" to 18" behind the front seats. And I really hope Slate offers a kit for that (not the SUV kit).

I hate four door trucks. Hate them. So of course I own one (Maverick). Had huge buyers remorse leaving my old single cab Ranger behind at the dealership. But I gotta admit, it's morphed into a love-hate kind of thing over three years. I hate the bloated-fat-pig aspect of the Maverick. But boy do I love keeping two laundry hampers in the back seat and throwing stuff into them at will.

Actually, it's not that I hate four door trucks. I love the Telo. I hate trucks bigger than 190" or so.

I'm with you, I'm not a fan of big four door trucks either. As a stubborn old SOB, I hate to admit it but it's amazing how often I use the back doors and seat. I really like the Maverick and it's smaller size, it's been a great truck for me. And in all honesty, a Slate would be more of a toy for me, an easy way to see what I actually think of an EV.

It's supposed to be one of the biggest for EVs as well if all goes to plan.
It's one of the attractions for me. Pull into the Walmart parking lot and load if from the walkway between the parked cars without risking being run over by the blind motorists who are more interested in posting their purchases to Farcebook, Twatter or whatever they're called this week.
