How Gas Price is Affecting Pickup Trucks

re: electric trucks

I doubt those ranges and speeds are with full loads, in fact it is impossible for a battery truck to haul 10,000 lbs at 50 for 100 miles let alone 20.

BTW, modern pick ups have come a long way from the 12 mpg days. My Ford gets 18 at 80 and can haul 10,000 lbs at 60+ aand still get 11 (and that is going over mountain passes.

Like I said, when electic trucks can equal or beat this at a competive price I will buy then. What I don't buy is the fantasies of battery vehicle proponents.

Electric pickups? Well when they can tow 10,000 lbs (up hill), go 300 miles on a charge and cost the same as a gas truck then I will buy one. With current technology you would go about 2 miles before running out of juice.
