    Great another monster sized truck that needs to do a 3 point turn to get on to my street because they can’t corner worth a shit. Even Maverick - which might be the smallest pick up I can get in the US right now is the size of a large to mid sized pick up.

    Man I’d love to have an EV truck that is the size of one of the old Toyota pick-ups from the 90s. Make me a truck that I can see over the roof of and I am sold.

      This is nothing close to a “monster size truck”, it’s actually quite small. Its smaller than a Maverick even. And while you can argue its not quite as small as the compact pickups of yore, there’s absolutely no universe where it’s “monster sized”.

      I put money down on a Slate. It was the closest to what I wanted; a simple, no bs, light duty truck that’s electric.

      Their site puts it at just a little bigger than 1980’s Toyota pick-up.

      A Maverick is almost exactly the same size as a mid-'90s Ranger, which is a compact pickup. The only difference is that it’s got more cab and less bed.

      (Source: I parked my Ranger next to a Maverick once.)

        I remember driving my dad’s mid 90’s extended cab ranger and it felt huge. I have a core memory of trying to do a U-turn on a mildly busy street in it and how stressful that was for teenage me.

          I should clarify: a Maverick is roughly the same length as my regular-cab, short-bed Ranger.
