    To have any real sales it would have to be a crew cab, I prefer regular cabs but thats not where the sales are. Its going to be funny in the future when the government does the same thing to electric vehicles that they did to ICE with fuel economy ratings, the proposal for a feasability study...

    I got pissed today - Trump on 2020 rollback

    What is a vehicle emissions rollback to 2020 standards going to do in real world terms? IMO, Not much as vehicle makers aren't going to just turn on a dime. That's why the EPA is not needed nearly as much as it once was, i am not sure of any vehicle made anywhere in the world that is truly dirty...

    The tariffs happened!

    If Toyota sold those in the USA I would literally pass the Road Runner in the Wiley E Coyote cartoons to get to the Toyota dealership to buy one.

    Tim's become a glutton for punishment.

    Are deleted diesel trucks legal after EPA deregulation news?
