Nice. I’d believe it. Dovetails aptly with the turnaround plan announced separately. 3.0L Hurricane in JL/JT would and will instantly energise sales at the midlife cycle point for the model run. It’s a no brainer. The right power plant for the platform. I do not believe for a second that...

Definitely try to learn about what the climate of this planet was like over the geological time periods. That will explain alot. A key aspect is; the rate of change. Try to have faith. Remember that we bank on this stuff when we fly. When we book in for vital surgery. When we walk over a...

And I believe they replace it if there’s like 10% loss in capacity or something. That is an amazing warranty on a battery tbh. Hell of alot of value in a product like F150 Lightening. See that’s what the copy cats and cheats will never do. Make beautiful big pickup in ev and treat the...

Well I guess the hope is it’s US and Western countries taking the lead and controlling the tech and the supply chain. That will be vital. That far eastern super power I mentioned does not compete on fair terms. It’s their thing. They cheat and so on. Well known for it. The thing is they...

They’re good questions. Good to care about it. Not an expert in mining of said materials. Can’t really comment. I notice the tech in the space is changing rapidly. Just this week I read of one player bringing a new lithium direct capture process to market. Like I said, I know not a lot of...

I think what is being asked is; should people or corporations chose the direction of the tech? In this case, it’s not really about corporate or consumer choice. It’s more about the fact that there is a major engineering problem that, for humanity’s sake, needs a solution. In 1856 a female...

The range limitation and additional mass of ev’s are real issues. I’ll pay that. Ev or ICE vehicle, They’re both real things if they physically exist. Can we agree on that? Or is there a concurrent conspiracy about ev I’m not aware of? Hey btw chief, heres what’s defo not real; the perceived...

I think the Lightening is a damn handsome sob. A well proportioned pickup. I admire Ford for bringing it to market so quickly. Timing is always hard with tech transitions. It’s likely their initiative will pay off down the stretch. I’m not into the rolling lounge room / IFS side of things...

No hate here. Great choice. Lightening sounds/reads awesome. Will be an interesting experience. I’d be interested to read how u get along with it relative to the ICE powered Glad. If they sold an all EV Gladiator here, retained the front mounted inline driveline and solid axles, I’d do...

Interesting for a corporate announcement. No mention of the predecessor. Could be mistaken however in my experience that is quite meaningful. The HSE situation at Toledo manifesting in the tragic outcome, an employee fatality on the Gladiator line, on the eve of a new model launch had to be...

Is it a spot for a propane cylinder up front or a keg of beer?? I like the front n rear bar work on it

Yeah. Jurassic park classic. Actually it’s just talent all round. Got me thinking a lot. The platform looks really really good as a single cab. I’m thinking rag top. Or a small modded version of the hard top just like the scramblers had back ins day. Looks to me to have a superlative...

What a great way to generate some tax advantages. I’m dreaming of that. All day long.

I don’t blame them for keeping the rear doors. Saves a lot of costly fab work. And handy access to storage? It’s a great looking truck. It’s hot. Well done and what a product? A great place to sit back and enjoy a tour and the Glad platform would have the participants lolling about in coil...

Basically an open top single cab conversion if not mistaken. Love it. Jeep cares - pls take note. Show the platform has so much potential, if not for corporate plans dictating “lifestyle” usage …. ??? ??.. What an epic single cab utility vehicle Gladiator would make.

Bring it. Go Jeep. Makers of the only interesting PHEV on the market. They need the support of all. And should be commended and encouraged. Removable roof, targa panels, roll cage, removable doors, foldable windshield, solid axles, offroad gearing, lockers and anti roll bar disconnects...

Not my sentiments. The OP’s looks ace. And more functional. A lot better.

Epic. Well, got to be thankful for the 15yrs. When I look at the 258 from the outside, (I can’t help it w mine bc the front clip is off), it seems like such a compact power unit. I’ve seen a lot of engines. Few strike me to be so much in such a small overall package. It appears compact in...

Oh damn. Couple Jeeps that got away in my fam. 1. 65 J100, 230 ohc 3spd on floor 2. 67 J200, 327 v8, 4spd T89? (The big one w 6.32:1 1st 3. 75 CJ6 360/TH400/Dana 20 combo upgrade It happens. They get away in the heat of life

It’s a honey. Properly. Is that the iron duke engine? And the 4 speed? I wouldn’t change it. That thing is priceless. 4 banger Jeeps are special. So what year is she precisely? She looks clean. My oh my. I’ve got an 84, LHD (wheel on your side), 258 in the Ron burgundy colour. Has the...
