I guess a Vespa and a Unicat and everything in between can breakdown there's bound to be some cost differential in getting operational again. The most reliable rig I've seen, because a diesel 70-series LC isn't available in the US, is a combo of training, expertise and a gravel bike with some...

This might be really cool as house/roof paint for those who live in sunny, equatorial zones....if it's affordable.

Nice to see engineering for durability, reliability and long-life, not plastic throwaway technology.

This could take years....or months. Unless it is an emergency, DC shuts down for most of December. It will depend largely on the economy, the health of the EV market and maybe most on whether or not folks decide they want to work&win together. It's hard to fault Rivian when the US goverment...

Good observation though the photo distortion makes it seem dramatic. I'm not an EC owner but as far as I've read, Earthcruiser hasn't had problems and documented failures with their axles/wheel bearings/etc. WIth any of these vehicles, I would get good answers to the following: (1) What are the...

Have to admit this looks great and offers a more livable seating arrangement. ER fit and finish is always good and these newer ones appear to be pushing up to the level of some of the fine, and equally/often more expensive, European campers though available American diesel offroad trucks do not...

I'm not an EV owner [yet] but wondering what is a proven / no brainer garage EV home-charging system (for 1-2 vehicles) currently available? I have some PV solar that can help but largely powered by the grid in a relatively cold, dark, northern rockies environment. The vehicle(s) will ideally...

I'd give Highway Products a call, they can build what you're looking for. https://highwayproducts.com/custom/

Very smart and no doubt there are folks who have been waiting for something like this. It is always great to have a North American-made product available.

The Ford 6.2s last forever, always start and easy maintenance.

If GXV has indeed been completely absorbed, it will be interesting to see how Storyteller (a) weathers the current RV market and (b) maintains the quality and reputation of GXV. Offering a few different models should give them an edge over a good deal of the competition, particularly if they...

Fisker, the person, has designed some great looking cars. He is one of those entrepreneurs who seems to have 9 lives. His companies over the years struggle and run out of gas when the investor largesse is expended and art & design slams into reality. These are tough times for EV...

Too bad. That thing is well equipped, looks to be gently used, the link to the first class pictures is still up.

Still available?

What is the source of the problem with Toyota parts availability?
