Hot take: 18-22" Wheels on Base Model

[Silversoul]

I know everyone is thrilled to be getting an amazing offroading capable EV Truck/SUV, but I would like to put out there as well, having a "sub" $60k EV truck with 350 miles at all is amazing. I'd like to push that even further though, with smaller tires/wheels on the base model. Personally, I don't have a need for the offroading capabilities these vehicles offer, and if I could get some extra range due to a more aerodynamic design, I'd much prefer that. My plans include towing a boat and very little else, so 18-22" tires would already be more than enough for what I'd need. I think having this as an option at the very least would be nice.

Again, I'd be perfectly fine with this vehicle at all since the price/range ratio is already pretty good, I would just like to squeeze every ounce of efficiency that i can out of the Terra in particular.

I'm all for less steel more rubber, 17" wheel, 35" tires is the sweet spot.

God no what are we chevy? Lol

Just a matter of preference, my early trucks Bronco, Scout 800 and II all had/have 15" wheels, two with 35" tires and I love it! It's all just a matter of preference, like choosing your favorite brand/flavor of potato chips (Mrs. Vickie's dill pickle).

Bummer there won’t be 17” wheels because you are dead on!
