The truck itself seems pretty useless as a truck - a Rivian is far more practical for the outdoorsy folks, a TRX/Raptor is far more capable as an off roader, a F150/RAM EV is far better for work purposes. This is just a wank job like the Hummer - it serves no purpose for what it is.

Oh and it's the ugliest thing on the road now. It's like what would happen if a M2 were a truck but worse.
Yeah they should've made a van, it would've been a hit and reach a wider market. Commercial, shuttles, vanlife etc
