    Anyone else skeptical of the coming EV trucks?

    Its a balance of economy vs performance. Yes; they can probably make a 40 mpg hemi. But no one would buy it because it would be a DOG! In order to get the performance people expect you sacrifice economy. The EV trucks will find their spot. It will probably be on a farm where low end torque is...

    Anyone else skeptical of the coming EV trucks?

    They're trying to make the biggest bang for the buck (their buck) from the start. If they can prove a truck can be viable as an EV then the car EV sales should be easy. Thats why you are seeing EV penetrate the racing market (experimentally). Dakar, Isle of Man...; if they perform respectively...

    Indian motorcycle Ram 3500

    They should have put a indian-head hood ornament on it. Id love to see the Rams cone back out with their hood ornaments; something styled from the '50s or earlier, not the simple ones you can get from the 70s or 80s. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Greaserama 2021

    Nice! Love the rat rods the most because they show so much originality. The old Dodge truck is pretty sweet too. There's a '50s era 5 window in my neighborhood that's ripe for a restoration. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Turn Plastic into Oil

    I'd like to see how they scrub the fumes from processing. Maybe it's by simply using a carbon filter or recycled into the heat and burned over and over. It would be interesting to see it work and learn what the output was. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Turn Plastic into Oil

    Define high quality of oil. Oil for cooking, cooling, lubrication, use in processing for other products? How pure is it? I didn't read that article but I have read articles in the past about similar equipment advertising how you can take plastic trash, essentially burn it, and extract an oil...

    Turn Plastic into Oil

    Too costly to gain little value. The oil generated is too low of a quality to be useful. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    HUMMER EV

    It's just a matter of time before it happens across the spectrum of vehicles. I have no problems with it; for the majority of drivers it makes sense. For those who use a truck AS A TRUCK however, I have my doubts that the distance traveled between charges will hold up while hauling a full load...

    "Toy" vehicle comparison - Jeep or SxS

    How mechanical are you? Have you thought about building an old Jeep into a trail queen? If you're aren't worrying about getting it tagged then you have a lot of options. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Parksense works intermittently

    I've gotten blips of it telling me it's not working. As I recall it was always during a heavy rain. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Uconnect 8.4 nav no sound

    Great thought. When mine went out, I had just plugged my IPOD into the USB port to charge as I was connected to the blue tooth. When I started the truck after work, everything seemed to work fine. I haven't connected to the blue tooth with my IPOD yet Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
