Sadly, trucks like these are like the automotive "small smartphone". At first it appears there is a large vocal market, especially if you read the comment section. Alas, nobody will buy it, just like nobody actually buys small smartphones.
- girvo 1y agoSadly true: and I’m one of those who walks their talk wrt. small phones. I don’t need a ute, though, so I drive a cupra born instead
- unethical_ban 1y ago40k with 300hp and 350 mile range? This sounds pretty awesome imo.
- Schiendelman 1y ago40k will not get you a 350 mile range. There is no way they get to market at that price for that capability.
- SoftTalker 1y agoInsane price. We need something closer to a $15k S10 or Ranger compact pickup. Simple and utilitarian.
- laweijfmvo 1y agoagree, but how much would an S10 go for today if they had just kept making them? probably $25k+.
- conception 1y agoKei trucks and the maverick seem to disagree.
- laweijfmvo 1y agothe maverick is a few inches shorter than the ranger. it’s huge.
- beAbU 1y agoKei truck and the Maverick aren't even in the same universe of size comparison. A kei truck will give a VW Golf a run for it's money size wise!
- vachina 1y agoThese cars are not mainstream and are typically used to circumvent vehicle classification regulations.
- Qwertious 1y ago"Used to circumvent" translation: the laws are stupidly restrictive so they're normally (pointlessly) illegal. And the reason they're not mainstream is because they're illegal.
- tomrod 1y agoCertainly not at $41k
- SoftTalker 1y agoA truck needs to have an 8 foot bed so you can haul plywood and lumber. I see this one does allow it by a “mid gate” and folding the rear seats but that’s still a bit cumbersome. And I prefer to have a metal wall between me and the 2x4s in case of an accident.
