[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3296488, member: 42"] You missed a huge demographic there. Light trucks sales dominate the domestic market...something like 60%+ the last I read. Yes, a large portion of that aren't farmers and ranchers, or RV'ers, but nor are they people buying garage queens. The light truck has become the equivalent of the old school station wagon. Light trucks pull double duty as the family car and the weekend workhorse. Folks commute to work in them, haul the kids to school as well as throw gravel, dirt, and other sundry small project material in them weekly. My 2013 2wd 1500 Ram has almost 100K on it and the bed shows the work it puts in for the family...but I also clean it (and myself) up and take my bride out for a nice dinner in it. The 360 cubic inch V8 doesn't get horrible mileage on my 4 day a week 50+ mile round trip commute to work but something better would be nice. Folks like me are legion in the light truck market. If someone comes out with a practical and affordable EV light truck that fits those needs, they will sell very nicely. I think tesla is almost there, but I'd like to see one of the big three lead the way in that market. [/QUOTE]
