Range is said to be 205 mi (330 km), higher than the original estimate. This price is for the basic truck. The SUV configuration is expected to be $5000 more.
People act like the home depot wont deliver, and that trailers don’t exist and that they have to daily a pickup so that they can move mulch once a year.
My brother in christ its a codpiece for insecure people. What you need is a fiesta, rented/borrowed/shared utility trailer and a removable tow ball.
Are you saying that the Slate being discussed in the article is a codpiece? I hardly think so. It’s a pretty damn basic vehicle.
Delivery of heavy things is costly you know. It simply comes down to: if you’re making use of it, it’s worth it overall. Our pickup was only 35k, same price as the Subaru we’d otherwise be buying. We’re outdoorsy and we’re converting our yard from grass to trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, so a pickup is getting its mileage. If you only need this stuff a few times a year then it’s certainly not worth it. People have different needs.
Motherfucker rent a uhaul. Its just a codpiece for the insecure.
