The thought of a win for me is who was first but then there is second and so on, right now many trucks are being sold and specialty trucks between consumers and commercial. I wonder how many EV manufactures will find buyers that need their product. It looks like at the moment in my opinion 3 EV...
I know it's hard to tell but behind my truck is a F150 being towed also, I did this for my son it's his truck that lost a head gasket. I towed it from North Dakota to western Montana about 700 miles. But I always take a dual axle trailer with me that has fun stuff inside Motorcycles and...
I know Nissan Frontier is not a current contender but in China Nissan partnered with Dongfeng and produced a small truck with a 250 mile range and being sold around $20K.
Nissan did not say they would bring it to the United States but the platform that is being used in China would fit the Nissan...
The ABS system in most vehicles have speed sensor in each wheel, The ABS computer has dual processors which are dedicated to to wheel control and on some vehicles it also controls the engine ECM, cars that have traction control or stability control can have the driver input taken over by the...
I was at a stop in my truck when I was rear ended, I did have my left foot on the brake pedal but when I was impacted my seat adjustment mechanism broke I fell back and released my foot pressure off the brake pedal. The car that hit me was traveling about 45 mph I can't remember how far I...
Most modern vehicles read a speed sensor locate in the drive unit, usually a output shaft. So many pluses will indicate a wheel rotation. Now days you can program tire size and it's done.
Some aftermarket speedometers require a one mile distance driven and it's programed. I have one computer...
Cybertruck is a truck of course and it's build will reflect its abilities, being able to carry 3500 lbs in load and tow 14000 lbs of trailer and in a 1/2 ton truck that is just plain awesome. With Tesla planning Cybertruck's specifications being able to do 0-60 mph in 2.9 what more can you ask...
I need a small truck (joke) to get around, pick-up stuff for the home, take me fishing to a remote lake in backcountry, take wife out for a scenic drive, pick-up family at the airport and anything else that comes to my mind. Cybertruck will earn its keep and justified.
I think Cybertruck design has been set in stone for now, just about everyone who has a reservation appreciates the unique body lines. I don't think you will see much change from the original concept. I do like the some of the ideas like the stainless steel roof but it's not a deal breaker for...
Spray in bed liner has a semi rough texture that would eliminate the smooth surface, It comes in some trucks from the factory but can be done by paint shops also.
To justify a purchase I think you must you want it first, sometimes it doesn't make sense but it speaks to you. If you are in position to buy and you really like it....a match made in heaven. I personally have to replace a vehicle that I have owned 23 years, I might be on borrowed time with it...
I wonder who is the distillery Elon used, I drink tequila so taste matters to me. At 250 bucks
I assume it's top shelf but I am not willing to find out my self, hopefully someone else can share the experience one day.
It has been asked before but I think a HUD really makes sense, plus some of the usual
conveniences of other trucks, like ample storage for towing ball hitch with pins, pin locks to secure trailer from theft. gloves, chains. a few tools. A good size glove box would be appreciated, a spot for...
I have truck camper that I am quite sure I will not be able to put on CT, I have given thought to what type of camper I might use for travel, folding to low profile Hi-Lo travel trailer, just hit the button to raise the roof and step in to finish trailer set up. I have seen Aliner and many other...
In my state the maximum speed of a truck is usual 5 mph less then the max for vehicle not towing. What I would weight in about towing large trailers or heavy loads is the unforeseeable event that will require a driving judgement and tactical action. I am sure it has happened to all of us. I was...
Except for Cybertruck I am a conventional truck man, I like my old truck it has features that I still enjoy and need. To me a blend of truck we already know and a modern electric drive. I think is going to make it. I understand frontal area reduction for the benefit of reduced wind drag but it's...
Current tires that most of us use are constructed to carry load and have the ability to cushion from road irregularities plus a certain amount of traction to retain vehicle control. The smoother a tire operates the longer it can last. If anyone had a tire that cupped in wear it gets worse rather...
