Hopefully won't be too hard getting handicap plates for it.

Those things are hybrids, electric motor drives the wheels and ice makes electric power

These new 3/4 ton/"2500" class pickups are getting outrageous!!!

actually, if you read the article, that one isn't. but it sounds like a unique mine layout...
the trucks go uphill empty, and downhill loaded.
the regenerative braking on the downhill, fully laden section captures enough power to replace most if not more than what was expended to drive the empty truck up the hill to the quarry.

I was initially concerned about the absence of a back bumper for daily driver usage, but then realized those large steel and rubber pneumatic 'thingies' could probably withstand a 90 MPH impact by the average SUV, 3/4 ton, garbage truck, .... whatever. So, no worries.

Use the holy elixir known as M1 0w40 even if it's a diesel and screw on a fram ultra. For sealant and wax use the tears of Greenpeace employees.

Would only go that route for hauling home your serious oil sale scores.

No need to make multiple trips back to the store. That wouldn't be very efficient.

Finally, a truck large enough to tow more than a pop-up, according the the RV board...

I see a few coon hunters (1/2 ton - headlights in trees) that need to join …

What is the Mall? Is that the place where your parents would shop at that place called Sears?

 

[Duffyjr]

Door dings will be a thing of the past for you once you get to the mall.

Not sure if it’s safe enough due to its lack of advanced safety features.

An HD2500 is scheduled to bring the CAT chips once they come in
