I definitely feel that! I bought it knowing that I will have to do all my own maintenance and repairs, which is terrifying but doable. I had to promise myself that if it ever gets wrecked, I’ll have to restore it at any cost, because there simply aren’t that many left out there.

I needed a new vehicle this year and knew I wanted a small truck to help with my forever ongoing home renovation needs. A Ranger was definitely what I was targeting before ultimately falling in love with an 88 Jeep Comanche long bed. Perfect size truck that looks Comically small when parked next to any modern day truck

I’ve not experienced that. I usually rely on a single offline playlist on shuffle whenever I do lose internet, but that has been the status quo for me for some time

I use Plexamp and the smart playlists are pretty great on that.

Like what? And is that a common use case?

Furniture is what comes to mind

Or just put down a nylon sheet, put the dirt on top, fold the nylon sheet over it and bind it down. … Buy a bus with removable carpet, then you can just hose it down as well.

Sure, you could do that, or you could use the right vehicle for the job.

There are many different rear door types and sliding side doors on the side that provide ample and easy access. This isn’t difficult or complicated.

Until you want a pallet of something. Would be nice if that van had a removable roof so they could just drop it in there 😉

What it comes down to is that trucks are versatile and people like them for it. If you don’t see utility in having open access, then that’s fine, but a lot of people do.

• Sometimes you need to move a thing that is oddly shaped and doesn’t fit within the confines of an enclosure
• Depending on what you’re hauling, you may want separation between the cab and the payload. Like if I’m moving dirt, I’d rather not have it rolling around my cabin
• Easier to clean, just take a hose to it without needing to worry about soaking the cabin
• Access isn’t limited to just the door, which can be useful when unloading something

With the motors and battery being on the backend of the truck, wouldn’t that give you better traction on the back wheels over the front wheels?

You can get it equipped with tie bars, or hooks that attach to the linear mounts lining the inside

I think there is an option to upgrade the battery to have a 240mi range
