What makes them not real? They're shaped like a truck and they operare purely on batteries, what more could there be? I get the feeling that this is truck-snobbery like the ford vs chevy guys from 20-30 years ago
It is truck snobbery. It’s a truck, the definition of a truck is a large motor vehicle used to transport goods, materials, or troops. His response is straight up gate keeping, like the people who will tell you a mustang mach-e isn’t a real mustang since it’s not shitting a bunch of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Body on frame, only on the F150, that's not snobbery, that's just reality, work trucks need that.
So you are leaving out the adjective "work" on purpose when you say "not a truck" because..?
Why are you being deceptive? What do you gain from that?
And plus, look at the bed. Its so short because of the cab. What kind of lumber are you even hauling in that?
If a truck isn't for work then it's a big car with a bed.
People carry more than lumber, some even have a goose neck receiver in their truck's bed or a camper that goes in the bed and that isn't compatible with anything but a good old body on frame truck bed.
If you want a truck that's unibody just get a smaller car and a trailer.
