I could see looking into this in a couple of years if it proves out. "Telo" EV truck. The size of a mini cooper with the bed of a Tacoma. None of that manly bullet proofing and trawler boat size of the Cybertruck that Muskovians might like to express their power.

Nice, but it won't pull one of these. Some of us need something a little beefier to express our power.

Yes, I think your locked into the maga sized pickup for the near future, although I'd not call it "zippy". On the other hand there are people with the big pickups here in the city that don't get much real work and are kept very clean.

Alan, are you saying that Cybertruck thing could not pull your R.v? What good is it then? Other than scaring people because it is so damn weird.
Our Hermann neighbor has one, and one evening at dusk it was heading toward me on the Highway and it was creepy.
Well, to be honest I only use mine for real work about 3 months each year. The other 9 months it's just something for others to point at while they question my motives. That's OK though, you get used to it.

No, the cybertruck can tow up to 11,000 lbs and my camper is right at 10,000 lbs dry. I was just pointing out lots of folks "express their power" in a literal sense rather than figuratively, despite the impressions of onlookers.

I bought this new in 1999, still have it, still use it for Needful Things.
Some folks in my local community feel compelled to hassle me about it, apparently it's Evil somehow. In the early 2000s, I suffered some vandalism. I guess some folks don't like wildfires getting fought, and technical rescue efforts.
It's also one of the few vehicles I have access to that can launch a boat off my beach without getting stuck in the ball-bearing-sized beach rock layer that is many feet deep.
Those cybertrucks look like badly designed aluminum breadboxes of an indeterminate era to me. There's one that drives around Santa Fe and it's just so ugly.
Since you showed me yours, I'll show you mine. I've had smaller pickups since I think 1983. This was the best. Fairly nimble in the city and easy to park, got me to many camping, fishing, hiking and hunting spots in all sorts of weather and rough roads. Hauled firewood, mulch, furniture, building supplies, and was popular when friends moved. Bench seat with 4 cyl. manual transmission. Basically problem free for 12 years. They don't make em like that any more unfortunately. Sort of a simple living pickup? I'd like to downsize from my current Tacoma to a smaller pickup.
