There is a need for more single cab small trucks like the Ford Ranger and GM Colorado. But they keep making them bigger and bigger each year. Same with Toyota Tacoma ,then they add a heavy extended cab on most to make it weigh even more. Ill bet an Electric Ranger single cab would better fit the bill for those who need truck but dont carry 6000 lbs in the back everyday or pull 12000 lbs. Most drivers drag that extended cab around hundreds of times empty before they actually use it once. I hear the new ford Maverick is quite popular. Should make an EV version of that. Standard cab.

I totally agree. Heaven forbid they do some research and ask what people would want.

All they have to do is look at sales.Cant hardly buy a maverick ,none to be had. Problem probably is they dont make much profit on them.Lot more room for profit on a $60,000 Truck than a $25,000 one.

There are no "Real Work Trucks" just "Trucks That Real Men Use"

A Yugo used by a real man can tow the Queen Elizabeth II !
