Separate names with a comma.
Why are none of the Truck manufacturers just building the truck everyone wants? Same configurations as an F150 or Chevy 1500, but with an...
The thing is, that little diesel can put out 19 HP at the PTO sustained for hours. In deep snow, that power will be the limiting factor as to how...
Plows need weight carrying capacity on the front axle. They also need a sturdy place on the truck to attach. Unless you baby it, the normal...
Pickup trucks usage stats do not completely reflect how buyers think emotionally. True, most people use their pickups as daily drivers most of...
Sure, to some extent, but nobody is likely to want to drive that conservatively. Heavy trailers are required to have brakes for good reason -...
I agree with the above - (I did qualify with "to the extent trailer braking is used."). The loss of the regenerative braking will matter a lot...
To absorb energy, you need the material to bend and be permanently deformed, not spring back. When it springs back, the energy is still gong to...
Unlike a conventional truck, the CT does not need a hump in the middle of the floor. Back seat floor is flat all the way across. Reports are...
You want to make sure it can run Blizzaks here in MN in the winter. Largest Light Truck Blizzak size i can find is LT275/65R20. 34" diam, So it...
Like the new Ford Bronco rubber floor with drain plugs:...
No need if the T-slots in the bed are really a thing. Just slide a T-nut in the slot and bolt it down from the top.
I am building a 6 passenger time machine and we all plan to bring a lot of stuff back with us to 1985. Think the batteries could put out a short...
Conventional pickups from Ford and Chevy can be ordered in the "Work Truck" trim level with rubber floor instead of carpet. A rubber floor also...
The 500 mile range seems to be one of the major selling points, so hopefully Tesla will notice that and make a cheaper 500 mile version. . I...
Poly bed liners often have notches for dividing using 2x4's slide down. But that means carrying the requisite 2x4 around all the time. I put...
Its probably easier and maybe cheaper to just add another 4' of length to the garage. Depends which way the roof goes.
Its not that long. You won't need it. Just need to learn how to park a larger vehicle. Chevy or Ford (cannot remember which) offered an...
OK idea for an Escalade-class SUV used to haul gussied-up celebrities. Bad idea for a truck that is ever used as a truck.
I am hoping the seats are thin jump-seat like construction that don't take a lot of volume. Some of the storage space underneath is already going...
Also, if you watch the whole video, at the end the reviewer talks about how unless you specifically need the functionality of the Avalanche, you...
I doubt Tesla will be able to incorporate such a feature. The mid-gate concept would make the roll top very challenging. Even if you could...
I still think this shows that the sides are sloped out. If the sides were vertical, then the triangle piece would be a rectangle and its front...
As I mentioned on the other forum, living in a truck will not be fun. I suggest you get a small travel trailer or camper trailer. Where are you...
I think its cool. I just wish the cargo bed was more capable and less compromised.
Examining some more actual photos (and the renderings), I am suspecting the interior sides of the bed taper slightly outwards vertically as well....
Note that there is subtle taper wider of the bed interior sides just near the tailgate. Its a nice refinement, but it may give a misleading...
One of the reasons the F150 is the most popular vehicle in the U.S. is that its really like dozens of different models all under the same badge....
Mirror polish all the exterior stainless. Then yell at all the kids who get fingerprints on it.
If you don't need a pressure washer to get it clean, you are not using your truck to its fullest.
I agree. Its probably not 10" wide. If it was, I would be seriously bummed at losing all that cargo volume. The flare around the wheel adds a...
Kind of the point - those covers all reduce the convenient usable space in the truck bed. That is why I choose not to put them on my truck. But...
I only know one that I can source to Tesla - the 6.5' bed length. My conclusion that this length is measured at the floor of the bed is based on...
There are hybrid skid-steer types of construction and off-road equipment than can do both skid-steer types of control and also have steerable...
Hopefully the stock tire size is something not too exotic. It should not be a pure off-road mudder as has been mentioned, nor should it be a...
Replacing a 2004 Chevy 2500 (light duty, not the HD) 4x4 4-door with 6.5' box. Used for: Household odds and ends, projects, and yard maint....
Obviously they cannot magically make the wheels go away. The bed has to fit between the wheels, above the wheels, or have wheel well protrusions....
Good News! After the revised calculations, it turns out you can put a 24" deep redneck hot tub in the back of the CT and still be under 3500 lbs....
The cargo bed of the CT is a bit cramped when compared to conventional 6'6" truck beds. It might be more accurate to think of the CT as a 6' bed...
Don't get me wrong, I am all in favor of it really being 232 or shorter. I would personally prefer that they use the 6 extra inches to make the...
OK, I see now the 231.7 inch dimension in Tesla's original unveiling. Still, its tough to argue with what the minds eye sees in the photo.
In other threads, the widest I have heard mentioned is 57 inches wide which seems proportional to the photos and would be a nice wide amount of...
Not claiming they are lying, but it sure looks a lot larger than the Ford in the photo. I agree there could be some skew in the photo, but it...
Ford Specs for the F150 in the photo [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] (Red arrows are the same length)
Many sources indicate the CT is 232 inches long. But compared to the Ford short-bed in the tug of war video which is known to be 232 inches long,...
First off, you need to subtract the driver and passenger weights from the total payload. You probably have at least one helper to load and...
Some of these vehicle-mounted generator models (designed for RVs) meet National Park Service sound level limits. Available in Gas, Diesel, or LPG...
Small ATV winches easily draw 50 to 80 amps at 12v. Larger winches can suck down 100's of amps at max pull. Unless you have a somewhat larger...
This was a general rule of thumb in medium-sized (water cooled) gas and diesel engines. I learned about it when I worked making software for an...
That Frunk could hold a giant winch tucked away out of the elements and without destroying the aerodynamics. In the photos of the exoskeleton,...
