While I'm not sure this concept will be rolling out in the next few months I do believe it has the possibility of going mainstream.
The modular concept is very appealing, particularly for us in the off-road community.
Here's a concept review by TFL...pay attention to the range, payload and price.
In going to the companies website they also mention 4 wheel steering...that would be cool on the trails!
Did you notice how they DIDN'T talk about heating the cab in sub-zero weather, or providing a/c in the summer? How much is THAT stuff going to draw the batteries down, and how much range will really be left?
Hey-if this works just think, next step is maybe a solar panel or two for both the truck and pop-up! Throw in one of those wind things and off-grid here we come ! Something to hope for I guess-at least for the next generation of pop-up owners
Speaking of 'mainstream'... I think things will accelerate a bit faster than us old folks think... remember we didn't't even have a computer 20 years ago at home. The only change one can truly count on not happening is from a vending machine... 'what's a vending machine?
Seems Ford has announced a "hybrid/electric" truck in a couple years.
One can only guess at the cost.
Good idea though.
I have been a fan of the "gas/hybrid" since 2005.
I have had a Ford Escape hybrid and now have a Toyota Highlander "gas/hybrid".
