I feel like anyone who is buying a truck will never want an electric truck and will most likely just be made fun of in all his friend groups.

[–] JackDark@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I would love an electric truck, and no one in my friends group would make fun of me, because my friends aren't pieces of shit.

I want a small two door electric pickup truck that is basically the size and ride height of a hatchback but with a bed instead.

I miss my S-10 sometimes. Was the perfect size for what I needed at the time.

That's a ute. You can only get them in Australia, AFAIK.

[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

No, that's a pickup truck before the US bastardized them into hulking monstrosities.

Australia has electric utes now?

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 10 points 2 days ago

I think that speaks more to the intelligence of trendy truck owners than it does about EVs.

i would buy an electric full bed truck tomorrow if anyone made one. fuck four doors, fuck a short bed. i need a truck to move full sheets of material.

i love my stick diesel 2500, but id go electric in a heartbeat.
