    Lol, keep moving that goalpost.

    As if any of the things you mentioned are 100% reserved for trucks as well.

    Subarus constantly harp on about ground clearance. Oh no! No longer a truck specific metric.

    Even a Prius can tow a certain load. You might want to know how it compares to another small PHEV from another manufacturer. Ah! Once again, not a truck specific metric.

    See how silly you sound?

    I didn’t move shit. Those metrics are clearly what are used in every piece of truck advertising. Resale value or aftermarket parts are not.

    You're pretty clearly stating that there has never been a single instance of advertising of a pickup truck that does not include information about its payload capacity, towing capacity, and ground clearance.

    Is this what I am reading? Is that what 'clearly' and 'every piece of truck advertising' means?

    Because this is an advertisement, for a truck, from the manufacturer of said truck, that talks nothing about any of those things.

    The silliness continues. Thanks for taking a while to respond. It gave me time to catch my breath. I'm ready to run to wherever you place the goal post next!

    I don’t recall stating anywhere that those were the only things ever advertised in the history of trucks. If you want to think that then it’s cool, you do you. I really don’t care.

    3rd gen Tundra switched to 6 lug. I don't know why? I guess to stream line TNGA-F production across models.

    Cyber truck has 6 lugs[​IMG]

    Lightning, and I don't see GM going to a 5 lug pattern on their EV 1/2 ton or Ram.

    I had zero range anxiety this weekend, even when I realized I was only at 6%.

    Where's the rest of the steering wheel? Does it have an F1 style steering wheel?

    How can you drive a truck that does not have full steering wheel?

    I’m sure it will make you feel better that when I got to that Supercharger, the first charger was only outputting 35kW and then the second one had a broken connector on the charger handle. The third one gave me the fastest charge I’ve ever had. I could have checked PlugShare and found out about that first charger, since it’s a known issue.

    Cool story bro. I still don’t believe that you weren’t nervous about getting down to 6%.

    Why would I be? I was trying to get as low as possible to get the maximum charge. Something that you wouldn’t understand.

    I started in Kirkland at 33% and drove past all of those chargers between there and Tumwater at the bottom because I was scared I couldn’t make it? Try again…

    You’re such a rebel.
    Sometimes I drive until my gas light comes on just for fun. :)
