Gentlemen, I have had a 03 F-250 PS, towing a boat with an Alaskan camper on it. 17-19mpg....now, for the moment, that's not bad...BUT
There are things happening that you younger members will see come to fruition in your lifetime. maybe not us old guys
The Air Force has 3/4 ton pickups in ALL Electric right now....not much range but they have them.
Colorado has the first all electric transit system with tour buses...right now...big time torque
UQM has developed neodymium, brushless motors capable of delivering enough torque to be used in Dump trucks and Garbage trucks....and 25kw generators in a 7"d x 7" package
The military is testing heavy tanks with all electric running for 30 minutes before they go back to diesel
EESTOR.....if it ever comes to reality....which it just might...will revolutionize the power storeage industry entirely
Call me a dreamer....all you doubting Thomas's....but I'm looking forward to an all electric 250 with a 500 mile range and at least 100 mpg...unrealistic.....maybe today/right now......but I'm sure looking forward to it
...while driving my F-250 D
My son is looking to buy his first new car....wants a 5 door hatchback with a turbo diesel...and he's unwilling to spend money on anything else....get a whole crew of consumers together and make the case....maybe in 5 years...if they feel like it
BTW...I tried to buy a Toyota turbo diesel in 1976...they had them........in Africa...efficient...OMG...but not here....
Politics/economic turmoil/ downright refusal....and I know it's been said...collusion
Meanwhile...back on the ranch...we'll be paying the price to travel around....just got back from BC...$1.12/liter for diesel
