The number of massive trucks I see without a speck of dirt in the bed that are used mainly for commuting and groceries is pathetic.

If I could have a Fully electric mid 90s chevy S10 style pickup with modern safety features and no surveillance I would be sooooo happy. But no, if I want a truck I can buy old as fuck or get a wanktank. Closest option to what I want in the US currently is a Ford Maverick (which is literally just a rebadged explorer sport trac for the modern age) but that would mean supporting Ford, and like, fuck Ford.

I think Toyota just teased an EV Hilux

Someone pointed out the shape is very Tacoma-esque, so maybe an EV Toyota quarter ton is on the way
