You MUST IMMEDIATELY surrender your man card if you even test drive one of those.

How do they rate as a host for a snowplow?
I like lots of lights and heat.

Everyone knows what happens to your cell phone's lithium battery when it's left out in the cold to often. Include the cost of a heated garage along with the MSRP. Only for those of us that live where it freezes every night. Plowing may be as big a drain as towing, maybe more, and it's cold when you need to plow.

Just seen a u tube video that compared a Ford F-150 electric pick up to a GMC 1500 gas, Both towing the same 5,000 lb. trailer, Didn't last long, the electric Ford only went 147 miles before it was down to 6 % charge. Local school district just received a grant for 6 fully electric buses, I've seen bus fires, they go up very fast with the foam / vinyl seats, Couldn't imagine all those batteries under a bus & how much heat & how fast that would build up.

You need to add the cost of charging, multiple times daily if you actually work that abomination someone calls a truck. Then pad your plowing contracts to allow for sending someone else to do the work that the truck was never built for. Makes perfect sense to me.

I will keep my 2000 Superduty and adjust for fuel as best I can in contract.

Face it guys, pickups for the vast majority are just another status thing that replaces the old station wagon They spend more time on pavement and never touch gravel even.

Will it go down backwoods, 2 track trails with 24" deep water and freezing temperatures without shorting out the batteries?

here is a recent video of 2 new trucks a ford lighting electric and a chevy silverado gas pulling identical trailers that were on loan to them from an rv place

I didn't get real far into it the lightning was going to be just under 100 miles towing range

while the silverado was still looking at >200 miles of range even at the 7.6mpg it was getting towing

so sorry it is 140 miles to the lake it should take you 2 1/2 hours but if your EV you need to stop and charge for a while then charge again 1/2 way home and chargers are mostly pull in so no good way to do it with a trailer on

edit: I watched more of the video
EV truck 85 miles and it was flashing lots of warnings they pulled into the charger with 9% power remaining

gas truck turned around with enough range to got 120 miles took a couple minutes to fill with gas just under 18 gallons

the EV truck took 45 minutes to get from 9 to 75% charge it takes much longer to charge to 100% it has to slow down as it gets closer to full

Seems like those electric cars would be better for city cars and small commuter cars. I don't see them being practical for anything else.


What from Christ that soul can sever,
Bound by everlasting bands?
None shall take thee
From the Strength of Israel's hands.
