Well the simplest reason is over half of Americans have no access to home charging. Once you get rid of the apartment dwellers and all the houses and condos that dont have garages, you're down to about 50% of the country's households. For them public fast chargers are the only sensible...

I'd gladly take an EV maverick if they could manage 400 miles on a charge. The Silverado EV stands as the only EV truck that covers my edge use cases. But I cant afford a $90k vehicle, not in a million years. the charging time isn't a huge issue for me, after 4 hours on the highway I am long...

Far better then grayscale colors. But the purple needs some white pinstripes on the side to rally complete the look.

Honda ridgeline? Santa cruz? Both those are unibody trucks that tow 5000 lbs.... heck the santa cruz was almost the exact same size as the Mav. In no way do you need a ladder frame to tow 5000 lbs. Or 6000. Or even 7000. The dodge durango is unibody and tops out at 8700 lbs. People are going...

For the same reason some people continue to insist on paying for cable, or home phones, or dial up, or any of the huge number of scams in basically every market like home warranties or solar panel payment plans. They know the bare minimum of how the system works and dont want to look into how...

The only way that facts can be considered "gaslighting"" is if one is actively delusional. Sorry, but Honda isnt magical. Nothing I have said about their mechanical or electrical systems is incorrect. Most have issues. VW had all sorts of freezing problems, Chevy's is buggy beyond...

Article never once says "maverick". Nothing we haven't seen 100 times before from websites that didnt immediately try to bast my web experience with terrible political articles. 0/10

Just more performative PR fluff from Ford. Nothing in there is actually telling us something we couldn't have already assumed. Let us look at one of these prototypes already!

Wait hang on, the government came in and took people's land, and they.....let it happen? In Kentucky of all places? I figured that region would be the second most willing to come up with a very American answer to government land grabs, right behind Texas.

Economy is bad and the high prices are not helping. A XLT with the seat upgrade is pushing $40k now. That's just too much money for how de contented the trucks have become. If you could still grab one of these XLTs for $31k they'd have no issue selling. But now if you did want one, the...

Buyers dont understand APR, or down payments, or negative equity, or even comprehend that their TRD off road package uses expensive off road tires that dont track great on the highway and are noisy. Why on earth would we trust that they have put in the thought to track out their life to see if...

If I could get an EV maverick with Silverado EV range I'd already own one. 200 miles towing a trailer covers my worst edge case. Range was the killer. The Lightning was far better in every way then the silverado in things like acceleration, interior quality, software, ece. Even the charging...

Honda hybrids have the same battery charging issues Ford has, their V6s were recalled for exploding, and their 9 speed transmission (a ZF model) has the same non serviceable filter BS that Ford has with the 8f35; and their 10 speed is now failing at 60-80k miles with no repairs possible, just a...

Diesel DI has been used for decades, burns far filthier then gasoline, and they regularly run hundreds of thousands of miles. Most DI engines run just fine, the issues are overblown.

It takes significant work to make a truck "more efficient". Gaining even a single MPG on vehicles that weigh 2.5 tons and stand 6' off the ground isnt easy, if it were Toyota would have done it already. That's also why when towing I get the same MPG as modern trucks, when you are doing hard...

The Lightning walked so the Ranchero could run. The Lightning screwed up by charging obscene prices for way too short of a range when actually using the thing as a truck. But it also demonstrated why strapping batteries to an ICE platform is generally a compromise. A dedicated EV platform isnt...

I'd be fine if they just gave the gas hybrid a bit more pep to match the Ecoboost.....and fixed its charging issues. And gave us the PHEV version that they could build, since the Escape has it. And the 10 way seat the escape has..... Basically for the price it should match its stable mate...

One cannot understate just how awful the OG XL/XLT radio was. Even compared to the same year Lariat they looked awful. Compared to the 25/26 they look like caveman creations. Also is the 25/26 camera really the same as the 22/24 camera? That's crazy if true that they would waste so much money...

Yes, they have one on offer in every market except the US, alongside the single cab 7 speed manual with the 7' bed......And the SUV version, the Everest, which would be a slam dunk in the US market. We've already seen how that went with the Tacoma. Almost no difference. Once you get into 2.5...

Taxing the charging stations does not fix it, most EV owners charge at home. And adding the surcharge to electric bills would punish everyone regardless of miles driven. Realistically the only way to fix the issue, aside from methods that require invasive tracking of everybody or voting people...
