The only one I am aware of that isn’t “transitioning” to all EV is Toyota. At least for the time being. Sad damn thing that so many folks are so easily led to slaughter. Just get on the train. We’re going to the shore for a holiday..........

I have a 13 year old Ford truck with 300K miles.

I was going to go with Ford again because of the experience I have had with this one.

Given what is going on, I am looking more at a Toyota Tundra.

Toyota....... the largest Vehicle producer in the world.

There are gasoline vehicles and there are coming EV’s. Coming.....that’s the operative word.

Transition is going to an existential problem for many manufacturers. VW and Stellantis are both large aggregations of what in the present are losers. The weak components must be maintained because of politics. Ford makes trucks that are presently not selling. GM wallows in the despair of what was, but being old lacks the talent to effectively compete.

Toyota has hybrid technology that is being expanded to a larger and more luxurious model. Toyota trucks are best sellers all over the world and can be transomed to hybrids as well, if necessary.

The future is being decided by Toyota that is effectively triumphing during the perilous transistion and by Tesla who has truly revolutionized and thus disrupted the automotive market
