And Rivian’s 100 mile range towing a lightweight 5,000 trailer shows NONE of these Eco warriors understand what trucks are for.
Diesel electric Hybrid, morons.
Just like a locomotive.
“Interesting truck Dave.”
“Thanks Hal. Best part is it has a 100 mile range.”
“Wait - that’s a good thing?”
“Yeah, then I only have to be in it for less than 2-hours a day.”
I just got done with a 1,650 mile trip. 12 hours one day, 11.25 the next day. Boy I’m glad I like my vehicle. (And that it is gas!)

-Hey, they’re making a long range version. The bad news that the entire truck bed is filled with batteries.🤣😂🤣
This. Would be the best if both worlds. Diesel generator tuned for efficiency and electric motors at all four corners.
Agreed, worthless for me. I’d have to strip my camper bare - like it came off the lot - to get down to 5000. Then to get to a favorite campground in the mountains I’d have to stop 3 time for a nearly 0% to 100% charge. A half day run would turn into an all day ordeal. Maybe even a two day run. Then there would be one more charge when I got there, so I could run to the grocery store to lay in provisions. Of course anything unused at the end of the trip would have to be thrown out to save weight.
Yup!
Been doing it with trains for decades
