Just as well buy one then! Hope you don't take many long trips.

Way out of budget for me.
I wouldn't mind test driving one in the mountains

I can see where there'd be a torque advantage with the electric engine. Plus there's no worries about extreme angles uncovering the oil pickup and starving the engine of oil.

Or any trips when it's cold outside, or dark or raining, or heaven forbid all three things at the same time.

All that increased electric load will cut your range in half. But I'm sure you'll find a charging station at the end of that remote road you plan to drive up.

How high does Brandon need to jack up gas prices before $100K sounds like a good deal for an electric truck?

I'd Never buy one. Even at 1/4 that price

What a joke. My yota would have gone up there in a flash!

No thanks.

Back in the 70's the quarry had 85 and 100 ton haul trucks with electric motors in the rear wheels powered by diesel generators economical to run and maintain downside was the trucks top speed was 26 mph wasn't liked by the drivers or management to slow liked the one i drove handled and rode like a car and i didn't mind going slow

Wouldn't buy a hundred grand truck for that,a KIA Sorento will go up it.

Had a chat about these electric trucks at deer camp with a couple of my buddies. One of them works in the electric/energy business and he pointed out a feature that I was unware of. I believe it was the Ford Lightning he was talking about - he said that if you have a power outage at your house (due to a storm or something) and your truck is fully charged when the power goes out you can plug your truck into your electrical service and it would provide enough electricity to power EVERYTHING in your house for 3 days.

I live in the woods a bit and it isn't terribly uncommon for us to have power outages for a day or so. I gotta admit, that feature would be nifty.

A friend was talking about how fast his buddies Tesla was.

I said I would like to race it with my chevy Cruze.

He said again that the Tesla was very fast.

I said “ The first one to Kansas wins!”

He stopped commenting.
