Not to be confused with the Canyonero.

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,

It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!

Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!

[Krusty:] Hey Hey

The Federal Highway commission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.

Canyonero!

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)

She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!

Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)

Drive Canyonero!

Woah Canyonero!

Woah!

Now I want to hear you sing that at a karaoke bar

Ford Says Towing Is 'Significantly Less Important' For Its $30,000 EV Pickup

Ford is betting that affordability will win out with its $30,000 EV pickup and is skipping all of that fancy truck stuff that most buyers won't use anyway.

That’s the first thing I thought of when I head Ranchero.

Not exactly news related but I came across a crazy video of what appears to be a Ford Mustang Mach E that lost steering and throttle control grinding itself into a barrier while the driver is praying. Has a pretty rough ending.

I agree with your statement as far as people on this forum but their logic is also sound in its own right. You’d be amazed at how many people will spend $25,000 to put a large front porch on a house, furnish it, hang plants, etc… then sit on the porch twice a year. So I get their mindset but people won’t change overnight.

From the article:

It turns out that Ford's ideal buyer isn't someone who actually wants a truck primarily for truck things at all. In fact, that buyer may very well never even hook up a trailer or fill the bed with mulch ever.

This describes 90% of truck owners in the US. Most truck drivers do not use the truck for “truck things.” It’s really quite frustrating that truck-thing trucks cost so much because they’ve become lifestyle vehicles instead of utility vehicles.

Turns out this was a DUI.

Turns out this was a DUI.

Bro was so tanked, he thought he was already at confessional

I should say, alleged DUI.

But, yeah, whatever was going on was very odd, both from a technological and from a human point of view.

Love this JerryRigEverything video of the new Lucid Gravity being driven by Zack's partner, Cambry, who is permanently in a wheelchair. The practical aspects of being a wheelchair-bound driver (and parent of two small kids) are explored. Includes some light offroading.

One of the things I’d never considered is that Cambry is fully in the EV camp for at least one very specific reason: Because they own a home with chargers, Cambry doesn’t have to go to a public refueling station, so the transfer in and out of the vehicle at the gas station is totally unnecessary. That saves her a LOT of time and energy.

Yeah. I couldn’t tell if they had it on the highest setting. They just announced their Gravity X concept, which is supposed to have better approach and departure angles.

But who knows if this will ever see a production line.

This Is What The Lucid Gravity Looks Like As An Off-Roader

Lucid unveiled a rugged SUV concept based on the Gravity, complete with knobby tires, a roof rack and a cool topographical design.
