Dan you only like that one because it’s the most similar to an existing dodge

Lol 70g for that amount of ugly. I’ll stick to a diesel. Id buy a ford before I considered that thing.

It's actually the most beautiful truck ever made. You just haven't realized it yet.

Here is the proper glass demo. Looks like they tried it too many times before the show and weakened it. This is a 1kg steel ball.

Unfortunately so was the delorean. Stainless is extremely expensive to repair
Nope sorry i dont agree, that truck is butt ugly. Just like the semi truck.
Smooth lines are known for less wind drag.

You can tell that previous picture is a photoshop of an Alberta truck. No big mirrors!!

If you consider the Honda Ridgeline a truck then maybe, just maybe, you could consider that thing a truck, but in reality, is a Chevy Avalanche a truck?

Chevy avalanche has 1300 lb payload and a 5.3 foot box. Tow rating 8000lbs. So no.
Honda ridgeline has 1500 lb payload and 5.3 foot box. Tow rating 5000lbs. Also no.

How about in black?

 

[lilduke]

how are you going to put a sled deck on that though?

might have to sit on a bit of an angle haha

Angle matching the box would look ok I think. Sleds are a lot narrower these days so should be able to do a 7 foot wide or slightly less. Wish I had some decent photoshop skills.

A small clamshell trailer would probably be better for range and efficiency.

going from big eddy to the hill won't need much power.

I'd do the deck. after using a trailer all last year I can tell you I'm not a fan of dragging it around.

Yeah I’ll probably run a single deck. Most of my trips are close to town anyways.

Between electric sled and truck my daily riding expenses should become quite reasonable.

Kudos to tesla for figuring out the integrated tail ramp - most sensible / practical approach! Big 3 designers could take a cue on this piece of the truck ...but then Tesla could take a few cues on the styling...
