Looks interesting. Wonder how all that electrical will hold up to road salt and sand over time?

I think I’ll wait till Toyota bring out an all electric version of the 79 Series 
actually, that raises an interesting point. At the moment there are vehicles you don’t get in the UK due to emissions ( such as the 79 series I believe, or Isuzu & Hilux only having the little engines in them when the rest of the world gets the better bigger ones ), well, with electric vehicles there will be no such restrictions, so that may open up a much greater range of vehicles to you

pick up is such a lame, limp wristed, soft cock, stupid name anyway, beloved by the Yanks & Brits . . .
of course the ONLY correct term is Ute ( short for utility vehicle, which describes the concept perfectly ). After all, WE invented the idea
Ford Australia: We drive the original Ute - Ford Australia: We drive the original Ute
The humble ute was invented by Ford Australia back in the 1930s - and we drive the original. CarArticle - drive.com.au
Pick up. It’s a stupid f**king name & makes me cringe every time someone uses it

As long as it has decent ground clearance

You wait, they even introduced law on the size of a feckin Hoover motor.
@Clive Keep up at the back, theres been a thread running on this since last Friday:

Something different in the pick up line
Not sure what I think about the looks🤔 Like the versatility though. Guess the price will mean it won't be my worry, if it ever does come over here 1 day.

Was it not Mr Daimler who invented the first ever pick up, then copied / modified by the others, especially Ford?pick up is such a lame, limp wristed, soft cock, stupid name anyway, beloved by the Yanks & Brits . . .

No no no, I’ve never seen a lame pick up, that’s a word sometimes used to describe livestockmaybe ?

Yes, they have sold more, but with their known chequered history, 'Invented' would not be a description I would use for their pickup version.
Reminds me of the Robert Kearns vs Ford Motor Company & Chrysler battle.

Looks like a well thought of pickup but I doubt it will be marketed at similar prices to diesel pickups. Probably 60k ++
Anyone know if it would be possible to tow? And a range?

haha - I’ve seen quite a few lame ones, with flat tyres or broken chassis

Thanks, I was going to berate Clive
Mine's in the correct section of the forum too

From the country that call Flip Flops 'Thongs'
torque from electric will nake towing with ICE feel very old fashioned
even if it was 60k think of the fuel savings ! Electric car is saving us 6k a year in fuel so 18k over the 3 years we will keep it or 36k if we keep it 5 year, goes a long way towards its higher purchase price
then tax, currently zero
