Is the tow range >100 miles?


Nah, you can tow it as far as AAA will take it.

Doug DeMuro is the type of guy to break into a car just to steal the owners manual.

In July we saw one of these on the road in a nice district of San Antonio. It's not my cup of tea but looked pretty cool in the real world.

It was a errnge rusty color version of this truck.

Like most everyone else has said, it's f'ugly as hell. I believe that it makes the old AMC Pacer look sleek and stylish in comparison.

It looks like a Hyundai hatchback with a churched up paint job.

I've never seen that guy before today but can say with a high level of confidence that he is one of the most annoying people I've ever seen on the internet.

Doug DeMuro is awesome. He's a car nerd that gets to live the dream.

He is probably the biggest car reviewer on the planet now.

While he is "quirky", he knows cars and trucks with intimate detail and is really good at what he does.

Decent looking vehicle, but I swear, EVs and the pricing just seems outrageous. $65K avg EV cost is ridiculous.

Also, seeing the many issues plaguing EV ownership in CA of all states makes me question its viability. We aren’t there yet.

Starting price at 85k? Can’t tow very far? Where do I tell them to kindly frick off?

The Toyota Sequoia is brand new this year, tows 9500 lbs, gets 22 combined mpg, and has over 500 ft lb of torque. And you get a top of the line loaded one for 85,000 with change back.

Rivian is installing 5 rapid chargers to go behind Trader Joes in Baton Rouge next to the existing 6 Tesla chargers already there.




Sounds like a place to ambush rich white people.

Screw stealing catalytic converters off of vehicles, thieves are going to start jacking these vehicles and ripping out their batteries.
