I'm dying for a return to 80s style trucks but with hybrid/electric engines
Please just let me have a functional, strong truck that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to drive
and won’t require bags of sand, gravel, or litter in the bed every winter
I’m naïve. What does this do?
It adds weight over the drive wheels, since pick ups are notably lighter in the back without a cap.
When you’re stuck in snow or ice you can also dump a little in front of your rear wheels to get some extra traction.
Did you catch that glorious but brief period when Ford and GM were building retro EV’s?
Oh shit I did not
Damn, do want...
