Ya it’s pretty handy having locking storage in the bed. For me it was suitcases and such for family trips. The hard folding cover I had worked really well and would fold up out of the way giving access to nearly the entire bed (but block the rear window).
My current truck is a 2014 Tundra. When I first bought it I immediately did a LineX liner, and drove it just like that for a while. Then I figured it would be nice to protect cargo from weather and humans, so I bought a folding tonneau cover (Bakflip). I drove it like that for a few years. Then...
One of the things I love about my Tundra is the rear seat legroom is unreal. I'm 6'1" and with my 6'5" friend behind me, he has inches before his knees touch my seat. It's a very roomy space, but room is only one factor. I like the idea of heated seats, some amount of recline would be nice. One...
Anything other than Bose, please! That company is dead to me 100x over. I would consider canceling my reservation if Bose was the audio provider.
They were a great company 20 years ago, but in my opinion they are all hype and very little substance now. That and the careless proprietary...
Shades of grey with maybe a little color as accents pieces like the scout logo or stitching. Red preferably. Or maybe even a blue dominant plaid. My first truck was a 1969 Chevy C10 with a blue bench seat.
I’m not an earth tone guy but I appreciate the color scheme on the Traveler demo car. I...
I like what Dodge is doing with this truck. That said, at this point, I'm sticking with the Terra Harvester. Here are a few reasons why.
- 800 volt system
- Aesthetics and interior design
- Zonal architecture (not sure if Dodge will have something like this or not TBH)
- Frunk
- Offroad...
I'm planning to keep my reservation as-is for now. We are pretty far out from getting solid information since they are literally still doing the engineering for these vehicles. Once we have solid commits on specs, I will decide if I want to keep the Harvester option or not.
I placed my...
haha, ya they are little. I have an 2012 (NC aka mk3 aka 3rd gen aka boat) so it’s slightly less tiny, but I barely fit in it. Flying Miata exhaust, Racing Beat sways, Koni yellow adjustable struts with Progress springs. Konig wheels and summer tires. It’s a special edition in white with a black...
Damn, that’s terrible! I used to have an 87 Buick Century that I loved until some lady in a lifted jeep decided to run over the corner of it.
When the Mazda Miata was first announced in the 80s, I was so excited about it that I carried an article about it in my wallet. I had always wanted one...
The Scout Terra will replace my 2014 Tundra. Honestly it’s going to be hard to say goodbye to “Bear”. This truck has been extremely good to me and my family. 100% reliable, capable, utilitarian, comfortable, spacious, and good looking.
Like the Terra, the Tundra already has a power rear...
For the different roof option, cabana, glass, steel, I wonder if they will have different ratings for how much status and dynamic weight they can support. It would be nice if they all had the same strength.
I didn’t realize fuel weighed so much less than water! My math was wrong.
~650lb difference is pretty interesting. That’s the weight of 3 good sized passengers. Sounds like Harvester models may have a higher power to weight ratio.
At 18mpg equivalent, the fuel would weigh 50% more than that by my math, but maybe still lighter than battery? What would 350 miles of battery range weigh roughly?
350 range of battery vs 150 on battery plus gas engine and tank + fuel.
Most of my driving fits inside 150 miles round trip, so I suppose that would work for me. It will be interesting to see the weight difference between the EV and EREV. Gas isn’t light and neither is an engine, so it might not be terribly far off.
I need to think about this some more, as I was...
