    EVs with solar

    T3 gets 60 mile range in clean / low drag tire pavement speeds configuration. Figure 1/2 that in “overland” mode and tires. I love EVs have one its awesome. But they hybrid is going to be the best system for “overlanding” the next 20yrs.

    Decisions

    Tundra for camper rig and going from a 250 camper rig to tundra? Yeah that’ll be a big disappointment. I get the diesel concerns but I don’t get the switch to the Tundra which will be maxed out on payload or over with fwc.
