I've only seen 2 in person, one was a work truck on I-35 in Austin and the other is my neighbor down the street who bought one. I've never seen him drive it though.

Maybe a few suburban men who really don’t need a truck and woke companies using them for fleet vehicles

There are a few posters on this site who will tell you that 98% of the people who have trucks don't "need" them.

The real number is 80%. Thats the number of trucks that never do truck things like tow or haul. You can prove this out by going to any target on the weekend and find the maroon F150 with an A&M sticker and a bed with zero scratches or dents and a shiny unused B&W hitch.

Would love the ranger to be more affordable

Crazy that the little mid sized trucks are 40-50k. A ranger was about 9-10k new when I started driving

Why don’t they put the 4 banger from the mustang into the bronco rather than that 3 cyl?

In the BR area, I have seen two on the road.

Very few people want to buy these EV turds.

There is a weird crossover with you people who vehemently defend EVs at every turn and believing that almost no one needs a pickup truck. I don't really get it, to be honest. You all are as tiresome as people who shite on everything EV.

Rangers have gotten bigger. Mavericks are even bigger than the old Rangers and you can get one for $30k or a little less.

And half of those have YouTube channels showing how bad it is.

Now, I did see one at a festival a few weeks ago, the local dealership had one setup with portable speakers powered by the truck and some cooking grills to cook all powered by the truck and some brewers to brew some hot coffee.


I guess you could call it a battery on wheels.


I took a look at the sticker. It was 95k.


I think I will pass.

Q3 had a lengthy stop sell order and was followed by the UAW strike.

Lol. Sure they do. I've seen exactly 2 since they hit the market. I'm sure I've missed some just not paying attention, but I'm pretty observant about new vehicles just to see what I like.

Sounds like everyone here has only seen 2. Maybe they're the only 2 driving around anywhere

Toyota ICE/Hybrid will rule.




I would never buy an EV but a hybrid would we awesome. Best of both worlds and you dont get stuck waiting for days for it to charge when a deep freeze happens. There were reports of people in Chicago having the car running while charging and it the charger was only able to keep battery at current level (due to heater).

Why would anyone want to potentially have to deal with that crap?
