It's enormous, too big for his garage and looks even bigger than the specs suggest due to its height. I'm skeptical that his petite wife likes climbing up to get in. With the extra vertical frontal area, GM got carried away with lights. I counted 18, 6 headlamps, 8 foglamps, 4 DRL's. I hope they have big batteries and alternators to run those and the digitized interior with power everything. Already it's kind of a relic from the past with the increasing pace of electrification worldwide. |

As far as electrification and size though, have you seen the Hummer?

Haven't seen a new Hummer except in reviews. They really thought outside the box there, the specs are incredible. 1,000 hp, 9,000 lb., $110,000 MSRP, and it's sold out. Greens will become apoplectic if it gets the Fed/State BEV deductions. |

GM has used up their fed credits, having hit the 200K limit in sales on EVs, but if the new proposed one goes into place then the Hummer would get more of a credit than the Tesla because it is built in the US, by labor unions so is eligible for the full $12,500 credit.

I imagine Joe Craig has had a call from the TMNA legal department by now.

In a strange turn of events, it actually does look a little like a jumbo Tacoma (usually its the other way around)

I went to the Ford configurator and saw that his F-350 Limited Super Duty FX-4 8' bed was optioned out to $91,450 before the wheels, tires and lights. |

What a snout on that thing! Hideous. Meanwhile, my tundra (218 000km) is at the dealer waiting for a new rear end. Had high hopes for the Hyundai Santa Cruz or the new Nissan Frontier until I found out the Frontier was direct injection only and the hyundai 2.5 smartstream 4 banger drinks oil (either block deformation or poor piston ring design according to some really interesting Korean videos on youtube).
