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.

A 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.

40k with 300hp and 350 mile range? This sounds pretty awesome imo.

[SoftTalker]

Insane price. We need something closer to a $15k S10 or Ranger compact pickup. Simple and utilitarian.

[laweijfmvo]

agree, but how much would an S10 go for today if they had just kept making them? probably $25k+.

[Schiendelman]

40k will not get you a 350 mile range. There is no way they get to market at that price for that capability.

[CarVac]

40k gets 240 mile range.

[dexterdog]

The pricepoints are still vaporware.

[CarVac]

Agreed, we'll have to see if they're even remotely close to their claims.

Kei trucks and the maverick seem to disagree.

[vachina]

These cars are not mainstream and are typically used to circumvent vehicle classification regulations.

[Qwertious]

"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.

Kei 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!

[laweijfmvo]

the maverick is a few inches shorter than the ranger. it’s huge.

[girvo]

Sadly 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

[tomrod]

Certainly not at $41k
