Can't swap the bed, cant tow, cant get to bed from the side, cant get repair parts. its a terrible work vehicle.
it can tow 14,000 pounds.
With what range? Not useful if you cant even get across the city.
great question.
It's interesting because it's got great features for a range of uses however each of those uses it has major flaws that make it a horrible option.
Electric work vehicle would be great but the bed is super awkward and the general layout looks awkward
As an off-road sleeper it's extra solar panel option is great but it's so big the energy consumption makes it worthless
For general multi-,use it's storage isn't big enough to fill half the jobs and it's physically too large to be useful in half the jobs
Of course it will sell because people seem obsessed by buying the worst vehicle on the market but what can you do
Most trucks aren't used as work vehicles, so it's not as if that's relevant.
Yeah, but the guy I replied to was talking as potential for commercial work.
I suspect that by 'commercial potential' they meant sales.
