Would You Consider One?

I'm not looking for an EV. However, this "truck" interests me for a few reasons. First, it is inexpensive. Second, it is very basic. Third, it appears that the mfr has considered the desire of many buyers to customize their vehicles. I'm not saying that I would put cash down to reserve one, but I'm also not saying I wouldn't. For a DD back and forth to work, that could still tote a few items for a home repair or yard work, it fits the bill.

What I would really like to see is for Ram to bring back a truck like this: 2 doors, long bed, basic-ish yet still something that embraces mods. What say the masses?

What little I've read of it, light weight tiny, 2 wheel drive, short range in actual driving.

Interesting concept to be able to customize to that level but it's a compromise on every other aspect. It's a hard pass for me.

I’m skeptical, especially that it’ll stay under $20K, but yeah, I’d consider it as a third vehicle (after my wife’s CUV and my Ram). And honestly, I’d probably drive it more than my Ram, for quick trips to the store, and what not.

A small, cheap EV with 150-ish mile range makes more sense than the five ton Hummer with 300-ish range.
