That's funny. GM almost did it right a very long time ago. They've never come that close since.
Reading about two 2007 Tundra's that made it to the million mile mark sold me, we bought our 2007 Tundra with 244,000 on the odometer, I was concerned considering that when I grew up very few cars made it past 100,000 miles, my worries were unfounded. We've gotten up to 20 mpg with the Tundra, that's considered unusual, also it's my answer to a bucket list of having a V-8 powered vehicle before I go to the junk yard for old hotrodders. The only Ford I really loved, over the years of being a Ford truck owner, was my 1951 rat rod F-1 that I installed a 59 Lincoln Continental engine in, that beast would probably eat a number of fast cars of today for lunch.We just bought a new Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platnum. It gets around 34 MPG on the highway and around 36 in town due to the electric motor. I'm still getting used to starting it and no sounds from the engine compartment.
That thing has more bells and whistles than any car I have ever owned.
I also have a 2015 F150 Platnum and I really like it.
While we were getting the new Highlander I looked at the Tundras. I was not impressed. My F150 gets better mileage, has more power, and has a lot more comfort features.
I know Toyota owners are some of the most loyal people around and they tend to keep them forever but I'll keep my F150.

I have in my hand a load ticket from Copeland Landscape Supply for 2,380 pounds of organic garden soil that we brought home in our Tundra, the rubber axle snubbers still weren't touching, we have three mountain passes to go over getting home which the Tundra pulled at the speed limit. Yeah, when I climbed under the truck to see how things looked, it's built like a tank, the frame is like a 3/4 ton, the truck rides a bit rough but smooths out with a 1,000 pounds.IMO The Tundra is built to a 3/4 ton. I have used mine heavily and never had an issue.
the Tundra cost only $9,000 and we're happy we got it.
... pulling our 5th wheel, between 8 to 9000 lbs, it is much smoother. BTW mine does have the 8 foot bed. ... a 8' bed and double cab makes it rough in a parking lot. Love the bed, I can lay a full sheet of plywood between wheel wells
Back to electric vehicles.That's funny. GM almost did it right a very long time ago. They've never come that close since.
You can do the same with a golf cart and their batteries cost less, are easily disposed of when they die, and aren't prone to catching fire.Back to electric vehicles.
I have never owned a ford.
But when they play a commercial that shows their electric pickup truck can back feed (power) a house during a power outage, my ears perk up.
They will sell a lot of those down here, if it works.
It's like: "Buy a truck, get a free backup generator set! ". Those are expensive.
An EV would make sense then.
Yep. But not for very long compared to a V8 truck equivalent.You can do the same with a golf cart and their batteries cost less, are easily disposed of when they die, and aren't prone to catching fire.
it seems that some people that bought a Chevy Bolt found out they actually got a Blazer. (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
