I’m still very skeptical. I think we’re at this point due to pressure, the failing old fleet, and lawsuits.
But I’m glad this is happening. I remember all the discussions around it but have never seen one in person so I had no idea what the status was.
To know they’re out there is great. I can’t wait until they get to my area. And I’d like to hear an update after carriers have really lived with them for a year and really know the flaws and benefits inside and out.
I’ll miss the old Grumman LLVs though. They are the post office to me, being there basically all my life. Such an unmistakeable symbol. But it’s time has come.

I was 6 years old when they started rolling out, and don't really remember the previous vehicles. While I actually like (or at least don't mind) the look of the new trucks, they give me that feeling when I'm traveling in a different country, and the normal/standard service vehicles look different and "weird".

Living in a rural area, the mail car was a right-hand-drive station wagon with their spare tire on the roof (to make more room for mail inside). My entire childhood, that is what I saw delivering mail. Now? Now it's an Outback with the spare on the roof...
- MBCook 2y agoMakes sense. From time to time I'll see another kind of vehicle, often a white van. But living in suburbs they've been the majority by far for me.
