You've clearly never been a contractor

more i think about it the hybrid and generator feature is genious. A hybrid alone wont convince most truck buyers but if you do something that enhances practicality or utility that peeks their interest. The hybrid could be very desirable to work trucks and outdoor activities. One would pretty much have that entire battery charged at the ready

700 miles of range means 23mpg on the hybrid. Not bad.

Generator makes it the ultimate tail gate party truck.

Contractors will definitely use all that stuff in the tailgate.

Watched some videos last night on it, I actually really like it...it might be the best looking truck IMO...

No kidding. The thought process goes something like this: You mean I don’t have to bolt a $4,000 welder/generator into the bed of my truck and pray it doesn’t get stolen? Where do I sign?

From the rumors flying around the next Tundra could use the Lexus 3.5L TTV6 also slated for the Land Cruiser, coil springs like the Ram 1500, and a hybrid variant like the new F-150. A new Tundra can't come soon enough, the current one has technically been out for 13 years

The Ram with it's ride and interior seems to be the one to beat still. Hopefully the new F-150 matches up well. The upcoming Ram Rebel TRX and rumored V8 Raptor could be very entertaining. The GM twins despite the shoddy interior seem to sell on the name. And the Nissan Titan just can't seem to get it right.

Nissan would be wise to just get out of the half-ton market honestly. They can't put up a serious contender and their sales figures are terrible.

GM trucks are looking very generic compared to Ram and 2021 F150 now

You're being too kind to GM.

GM trucks look absolutely hideous compared to the RAM and F-150 right now.
