I'll pass on the Tacoma.

But if Tesla makes a midsize truck, I'll be departing through gate T.
I don't think we'll see a mid size truck from Tesla but I read where they're working on another smaller SUV. There's a lot of Teslas (mostly model 3) around here and I have to admit they're kind of growing on me a little bit but I think they need a little more range for longer trips.

With my driving of 6k miles per year and most trips being under 20 minutes, an EV makes a lot of sense for me.

The MPG my wife's hybrid is getting has really put the bug in my thoughts,

Since my Bronco can tow 7k, I don't really need the Ranger for towing.

Still doing more research but a Model 3 is looking better and better.

Now if Tesla built an electric truck the size of the Maverick...

I drive about the same mileage and have seriously considering a new Camry Hybrid. I'm not as down on EVs as I once was but I'd still like to see a little longer range because we do plan on traveling more now that we're settled in. I'm still looking and will probably go down one day and test drive a model 3 so I can compare it to the Camry Hybrid. Even though that's comparing apples & oranges I've never driven an EV and would like to get the full 411 on them. I know they use to offer free charging on their charges and not sure if they still do but that could be a game changer (from the hybrid) right there if they do. I'd probably still keep my Ranger for a few more years but I'm having less and less use for a truck now and have been driving one for over 30+ years and a comfortable car would be nice now. I really want ventilated seats!

Well, with all those trips to Manuel’s and Chili’s, I can understand why.

Poor Annie….:facepalm:
Well, you've never ridden with her after eating there have you? :lipssealed:🤫🤢

So, this page alone prints out to 16 pages, and with all of those Amazon deliveries, one more'll be easy to slip in.....

BTW, are you sure you want to get rid of having a rear window that opens in the middle of the cab? You know that with a sedan or hatchback, it's all just going to get trap back there like a big old time-bomb bubble...

The technology is seamless. I had a Ford C-Max for a loaner one time while my Flex was in the shop. That vehicle was a PHEV, but went back and forth from ICE to full BEV seamlessly. Homely car but fun to challenge myself to stay in battery for as long as possible.
