If you think a truck is unsafe because you do t have a blind spot monitor and can’t drive hands free you have some serious issues. Millions of cars are driving around without those nice to have features and are perfectly safe.

That’s pretty messed up and not how it used to function. The trailer brakes always worked like a normal ICE trailer brake and any time the truck braked, regen or pedal, the trailer brakes engaged proportionally like designed. The dial is supposed to be the same as the manual engagement in an ICE...

Sounds annoying. It’s been a while but my R1T would simply fill up the regen bar and you’d have a pretty good idea when it was going to stop assisting with braking. I didn’t get all those messages. What are you using the dial for? Trailer brake actuation? The trailer brakes will engage with...

Jesus. I flew cross country to college with two normal size suitcases and a backpack.

Rent a boat. You’ll give plenty of entertainment to everyone at the boat ramp trying to back it down to launch and recover.

I have not stopped at a Costco in many years, I’d rather pay a few cents more than sit in those lines. I’ll only stop at a Costco when they have diesel (rare) and if it’s nearly empty (rare). Since the only Costco within 400 miles of me doesn’t have diesel I don’t go there.

It’s a parking lot with pumps, no different than a parking lot with chargers. I’m not sure on the special trip concept either, gas stations are everywhere and convenient stops on nearly every drive to work, grocery store, etc.

I’ve used the collapsible spares on Audis and they collapse back down when deflated. Takes a little convincing sometimes but if you do it once or twice after buying the spare you’ll know how to do it easily if you ever need to again.

A good sleeping bag and open vents on the tent are the best and easiest answer. The diesel furnaces are nice but overkill for such a small tent and it will be cycling on and off constantly or you will be sleeping naked and sweating. Propane ice fishing heaters are a fairly cheap and very simple...

We need some no frills electric trucks to be built that way there are old rigs around in 20 years that are cheap enough to buy, modify and can still function to do trails like this.

Stopping for 20 minutes total a month for diesel isn’t much of a deal breaker. On an already long drive an extra hour of charging can be very annoying.

Eventually, but I don’t see 400 miles in a day on an electric sleds in my life time. Where I live internal combustion is an absolute must. It heats our homes, gets your truck to remote areas, powers your ATV or sled once you’re there or lets me take my boat or plane to places where no roads...

It also not uncommon to ride over 100 miles in a day which electric sleds can’t do. They’re even less capable when ridden and sat outside in the 0° night (on a warm night) while camping, hunting or ice fishing. The near silence is kinda fun but so is ripping around on a 150hp two stroke.

Lots of stuff that shouldn’t need to get fixed in a production vehicle and should have been sorted out prior to release.

Yes massa, wise and knowledgeable are you. Thanks for contributing to the discussion.

The same loud as any other v6 at 5k rpm, not too bad since it would only be for a limited time. Full rated output is 130kw, towing a trailer at 1mi/kwh means the generator has to run at about half output to provide enough energy. I’d take that all day over stopping every two hours to charge for...

The V6 powers a 130kw generator which is more than enough to keep up with demand. I haven’t seen anything saying it can’t provide enough energy.

Just embrace the dirt and get whatever color you prefer. A dirty car will always look dirty but a silver car will never look forest green.

I’d suggest replacing it with a 20 year old beater until you learn how to drive. Maybe don’t post for the entire world to see that you’re a moron.

As an American built vehicle it should use standard white trash American pronunciations. Get some ja-lop-en-os in your case-a-dila.
