Nice seeing the old blood back. Welcome back

I bought a Tacoma new in 2016 for $21k, as much as I’d like a new truck, it’s crazy to me what they are Getting for them.

Interestingly, a 2016 Tacoma still costs $21k

Suspense is killing me. WHAT KIND OF TRUCK???

That's on a long lost hard drive somewhere.


I always wanted a Raptor back in the day, but I never bought one then. I haven't bought one now either.

 

[amRam]

He bought a base model Maverick. Calling it now.

I bought a 2023 Lightning Lariat Extended Range

yikes

 

[Sir Lucius]

Not so great software, but the room is where it's at. Fits the dog and baby in the back plenty of storage in the frunk, and then you still have a bed if you need it. It's also faster than the Raptor.

 

[amRam]

Nice choice. Crew cab trucks are roomy as fuck.

I did not buy a truck

 

[Sir Lucius]

Ok, but check this out: you can use the on board power to run your pellet smoker. That's brisket anywhere.

I see not so great things about the real life range but as long as you can cook a brisket that really doesn't matter.

 

[Sir Lucius]

Real life trip this weekend drove 200 miles and used about 80% of the battery. It's not great, but it's manageable.

 

[amRam]

I generally like the idea of having one electric car with a giant battery you can use for home backup. That's a solid selling feature.

 

[lemon]

a $100K backup battery is pretty baller

I'd just but a nice Onan

 

[amRam]

It drives too.

why in the fuck would ANYONE buy a battery powered truck lol
