I gotta say, that thing looks cool as hell.
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

This thing is very 'Berta. Of course your Prairie ranchers love it.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Ive neither driven cattle across the open plain nor know how to operate a combine. I just like trucks, the way you like your broken from the factory Italian things.

Not sure if this helps for scale...bike for reference.

So 1.5ft shorter than my F-150.  Crappy, but not the end of the world.  I wonder how this compares in rear legroom compared to my F-150?   The fact that the doors and roof come of adds mucho appeal to me.......not a bad way to deliver kegs!   ;D

Would that 1.5ft really make a difference for delivering kegs?  Do you deliver that many at a time where it would make or break a delivery run?

Parking a brand new truck without doors in the middle of nowhere sure sounds like great idea  ;D

With 7650 lb of towing capacity, just get a trailer to tow a few kegs.

A huge difference, no not really.  That's why I said it wouldn't be the end of the world.  The only thing that would make this thing kick more @ss is a manual.   ;D

It's coming in diesel if you care.

How many kegs can you currently hold in your Ford?

I love this thing.  Pretty damn sexy with a couple of bikes in the back for sure.  Likely never buy one, but I'm happy it's going to exist.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

People park convertibles and current Jeeps without doors or tops on them all the time. Its really not that bad unless you leave your phone on the seat
