I drive a B2300 (the Mazda rebrand of the Ranger) and it kicks ass. I get 7-8L per 100km, when commuting, I've filled it to the tits with dirt, flooring and lumber, and it doesn't take up 2 parking spaces. I would pay an obscene amount to get the same truck but as an EV today. Why the fuck is that not a thing?!?
Best we can do is a behemoth truck that doesn't fit in spots and costs a first born child.
This is actually a good point, why are there no small EV trucks?
I bet they exist in China.
I see lots of Rivians where I live. I'm not about to spend $130k on a small truck though.
Ford Maverick is the size of the old school rangers. I have a hybrid one and love it. Only problem is finding one not marked up sky high.
Ever heard of a Ford Maverick? It's not a "real" truck since it's unibody instead of body-on-frame, but otherwise it's the next best thing to the old Ranger.
Transverse engine + transaxle + biased toward FWD
Like I said, it's (unfortunately) not a real truck.
Yeah. At that point, get a wagon and a trailer. That's my current setup but I am pushing the limits of it. 3 people + luggage + trailer + 2x 500lb bikes is really more than that flat 4 and CVT wants. I'm already having to do suspension mods to make it more comfortable and I'm still (officially) 700lbs under the tow rating.
The b23 was a great truck, though.
I recently bought a 2010 B4000 and it is a great size for a truck.
