"Newest EV truck. 400mile range, 11k towing. "
The fine print in the ad says 230-400 miles.
Do you suppose towing an 10,000+# trailer through the mountains will yield a 230-400 mile range?
Or perhaps 100 miles?
How many charging stations are planned for the boonies?
Much like a Tesla. A neat vehicle for those who want to be the first kid on the block with the latest toy.

I'm not going to be hasty about this. Yes there are issues. Like cost but I could always sell the house. And then there is range but I could put a generator in the bed. See another solution. What concerns me are what the wheels look like. That could be the deal breaker

Alf Probably need a football field full of panels to charge that thing. I'll just use the generator. But those wheels, hmmm I just don't know

Have a 14 gmc sierra towing a ta and will be due to replace the truck in 22. Toyota is high on my list, but its latest frontal crash results made it the worst light duty built. Cause for pause.
