To know that a Mustang is an electric suv and a lightning is an electric grocery getter is disturbing.
Yep

Yep I guess, I have no want to own or drive either. All mustangs are is the loudest most annoying slow car on the road next to you and lightings are just about pointless. I have no love for battery cars, but one thing they do and do really well is go fast.... all be it for a short while lol.

Short is right. I was reading where GM's new electric military toy has a range of 75-150 miles. My truck is over 700 miles at 65 mph. No thanks.

I hadn't read about them, but knowing how military equipment is over engineered, I wonder how that compares to normal run of the mill operation and loading?
Like I said I'm absolutely zero % fan of electric vehicles for practical applications like commuting and vacationing etc. but as a sport around on the weekend short trip fast ride it seems like they fit the bill as much as anything else... although I'm convinced the only reason to own a mustang is to be incredibly loud obnoxious and inconsiderate to others on the road.

Have to admit, the name is fitting. I saw where the new Hummer would pull the Lightning backwards if they were back to back.

She wanted loud and had a full rousch exhaust put in. Beyond obnoxious is an understatement. Personally I hate the car but it’s hers and she’s happy, that’s all that matters

I think some of you should be able to differentiate between the 1st & 2nd generation Tundras. Don't know when the first gen Tundra hit the market but the 2nd gen was first produced in 2007 with 5.7 V8. The 2 generations are as different as day & night. Funny my 2017 Tundra gets slightly better gas mileage then my brother's 5.0 F150. It could be the driver but don't think so.

I have a Suoercharged 5.7L Tundra and it AVERAGES 10.3 mpg. I’ve never seen it above 15 riding empty and setting the cruise at 75 mph or so. But, it does out run almost every truck made. There are a few exceptions. A couple Dodge trucks and a couple Fords. Chevy ain’t got anything close…..yet. I’d like to see a GMC with an LT4 with around 750-800hp.,,that could be a riot. And the LT4 truck would still probably get 16-17 on the highway.
