For fun - Overall Size / Wheelbase of Slate truck compared to other vehicles

GToddC5 said:

I thought it would be fun to help envision the actual size of the Slate compared to other vehicles. Of course the method of scaling pics in AutoCAD is imperfect, I think generally it's close enough. I chose a past ride of mine, a 1992 Toyota Pickup, and a current ride, a 2021 Bronco. I'm actually surprised at the results - It's not as tiny as I had imagined! (TWSS)

Edit to add:
Slate WB = 108.9"
Toyota Pickup WB = 103.0"
Bronco 2DR. WB = 100.4"

I’ll be replacing my smart with the Slate. So it’s going to feel really big!

The inventive me wants badly to buy a salvaged 4-door Bronco and convert it to a 2-door pickup. I've had the design in my head for a few years now.

That is a much desired concept! Check this out from 5 years ago:

At the official launch my understanding was a Bronco pickup to compete with the Comanche was in the pipeline as a model. My plan was to drive the Bronco for the time it took Ford to release the Bronco Pickup. Very disappointed it did not come to fruition.

If Ford would just chop off the back of the Bronco 2-door, I'd buy one as a personal runabout trucklet in a heartbeat. At 174" long, it's the same length as the Slate. I guess Ford ran the sales projections and didn't see a market. It's a head scratcher to me.
