Nah man I'm all for electric ENGINES, afterall my favorite constructs (train) use them exclusively regardless of whether they're diesel or overhang wire. Battety-electric storage and abysmal privacy policies make me retch however.
>If Japanese trucks are so great why don't they sell/make the legendary Hilux here?
Because American manufacturers lobbied for bullshit import regulations to stifle competition.
They build the Tundra and Tacoma here - why not the Hilux? I thought it was the greatest truck of all time

It goes back to the Chicken Tax in the 80s. I'm not going to spoon feed you something you can simply stop being a homosexual about and just google.
And Idk if i'd call it strawmanning, or moving the goal post. But hyper focusing on the Hilux alone when the original statement was a more broad jap > murrican trucks is just dishonest man. You're the only one here that even brought the Hilux up.

They did make the hilux in the US
They only stopped when the Tacoma was introduced in 1995
Around the same time they made the wide body Camry which was bigger than the one sold in Asia, Americans just became too fat to fit in normal Toyotas
He's not wrong, but perhaps trucktard doesn't realize the issues with electric vehicles are present in any newer model too. >infotainment systen detects the use of the word "Black person". >car no longer starts >insurance cancelled.
why do electric vehicles attract subfunctional morons? both for and against. although I don't generally assume that the aye's live in carcinogenic FEMA caravans.
it became a part of the red vs blue culture war because one side is pushing hard to mandate them without a real solution. so you have limp wristed bugpeople versus the most delusional schizo boomers that happen to be the most vocal proponents of gas versus EV.
EVs are not the enemy, nor are hybrids. the real enemy is the OEMs and the government themselves, for mandating expensive technology and discontinuing affordable cars in pursuit of max profits/max safety/skirting fuel regulations. not to mention the data extraction and spyware put into every car
frick off with your sensible answers and explanations for all this EV war bullshit. I am irrationally worried about lithium fires, and I do really like muh engine go vroom, but everything else I hate about newer vehicles and mandates don't exclusively exist in EVs and I wish we'd all stop fighting over the dumb shit that isn't actually the issue
This man carefully placed 78 stickers on his car completely blotting out his rear view because he thinks driving a certain type of truck makes him a real man... THAT'S a dicklet.
This is pretty transparently just a cuckservative v libtard proxy war. The only problem that they actually have with EVs is that they think only limp-wristed ginger-beard antifa vegans and trans genderqueer 2spirit communist POCs of color drive them. It's really not any deeper than that. They've otherized EV drivers to the point of not realizing that the tech has gone mainstream. It's like the Prius. You don't have to commune with witches in the woods and use tampons made of armpit hair to drive a Prius anymore and similarly EVs are no longer the exclusive territory of Hollywood pedophiles and women with hyphenated surnames.
Whether they win or lose this battle has nothing to do with their unity despite brand and fuel. It will be entirely determined by the value proposition presented to consumers by the EV industry. If EVs and EV infrastructure become good enough the market will tilt and they will lose. If EVs and EV infrastructure continues to cause hesitance in consumers, EVs time in the sun will end and they'll either be forgotten or supplanted by superior tech. Either way what ICE truck buyers do will be completely irrelevant short of acts of domestic terrorism against EV infrastructure.
Imagine how empty your life must be to identify as the brand of car you drive or what kind of motor it has.
>t. electric shitter
Not him, but 2 motorcycles and a shitty mini truck here and I say the same, so wanna try again?

i assume you're aware that ev drivers do this at a rate of 10:1 compared to ice drivers right
yea electric is garbage that's been around since the 90s
they just want to force it on us now.
>since the 90s
You mean the 1890's right?
Because the first electric car was built in like 1884.
Yes
>it's no longer Chevy vs Dodge vs Ford
That's right, because Japan makes better trucks. All three already lost.
If Japanese trucks are so great why don't they sell/make the legendary Hilux here?
It's not just boomers. When's the last time you left the city?
