They make a 4 door? Might buy one for a new ranch ride if they are cheaper than a damn sxs.

The ground clearance looks like a downtown Cleveland pothole would total that thing.

I think it will get made. Bezos has a decent amount of money in it and I think sees a future Amazon tie-in similar to Rivian.

Not sure anyone will buy it. People say they want a truck like this but reality is they don't have the money for a third auto and will never pull the trigger.

The picture you posted is the Slate EV, starting at $25k.

Also an interesting vehicle.

Just realized. It was shared by someone else as a pic of the new reo truck.

Not having any luck finding a real pic of the reo truck now

God Damn It. Just bring back the 1980’s Toyota truck. Make an extenda cab if you want.

5 speed only.
No fricking electronics.
Hand crank windows.
R22 motor.

Retail it for under $20k. Make a fortune.

You can't get a less capable side by side for that price.

There's no way you're as dumb as you act on here, no way. It has to be a troll.

there’s a pretty good reason for that. Can you guess what it is?

FIFY
Won't pass emissions or safety.
People forget how dog slow those were, you'd feel badly outclassed in modern day traffic. 105 towering HP, 137 ft-lb of torque. 3k lb or more with a modern crash structure.
Not enough people even know how to drive a manual any more.
MPG will be horrible for the class, which will be even worse for the parent corp's CAFE numbers, and would break a smaller company.

The Reo will be a more modern take with a modern engine and some limited electronics. We'll see if they survive.

You stay in that power band for about 10% of the driving experience.

The upside of the turbocharged engine is lost on most people because they are brainwashed into N/A is just better.

I just looked to see what it cost, you can buy the XL with just the basics for just over $26k.
