Suspension travel will be limited because its IFS IRS. The CV joints articulate only so far.

Why not use portal hubs?

Sure. I currently own a aluminium Ford. There are tons of threads to help with that. Just making people aware that insulation is needed. And the frames of conventional trucks are steel. So bolting hitches,camper tie downs and winch mounts do not require anything special.

Whatever options you choose, anything bolted to the stainless body of the CT will have to be insulated if it is not made out of stainless steel. Otherwise you will be creating another battery of sorts and corrosion will occur. This could be a real pain when mounting winch mounts and receiver...

Have you owned a modern diesel? No stink, no noise. The CT will compete against half tons anyway.

"Real cold"? In Toronto? Toronto is the banana belt of Canada.

You can do that yourself with the ignore feature.

Except for the most popular one. The pickup. Which is a class 3.

If they are the same weight neither should be able to pull each other. Just stand on the brake.

Sleet won't dent cars.

Nothing will happen to the converter at a dead stall. If you have a powerful truck you start snapping u joints and other bits.

I am a big fan of small trucks. The CT cannot replace my F450 however it could replace the 2 Ford Rangers we have. A CMT could haul my bikes around and make a much better commuter. I do not commute in the massive F450 for obvious reasons but the Rangers are very suitable. The current crop of...
