The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.

I miss S10 sized trucks.

I’d love a truck like that little B-series Mazda had when I was in high school in the 80s. Or the little Toyotas. I just need something with a bed that gets decent mileage. Not something with 6 tires, needs a step ladder to get into, and enough room for 8 people. My penis is big enough already. 😂

I remember my mom owned a toyota truck when I was a kid, it had these little fold-down seats in the cab behind the driver that basically nobody except a little kid could hope to sit in.

Remember the 80’s diesels that got near 40mpg? No power but great economy.

I also had a B-series in high school that I posted about in another thread, with a cap on the back it was great for camping and hauling things around. So many good memories. A setup like that is also perfect for many contractors.

I went with the Maverick for a work truck and I’m very happy with the choice. 30mpg and I don’t have to climb up to get a ladder. Ford is an idiot for not making this a plug-in, I’d buy 2 more on the spot.
