Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can’t find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

    Is a truck tech? Fuck it I’m calling a pickup truck tech.

    I just want a pickup the size of a 90s ford ranger that’s a hybrid. Since I’m making it a unicorn, lets go 4wd

      Lol, I’m gonna say no as I posted in a technology news community in response to news about Tesla trucks not being tech news just by virtue of being Tesla or musk related. OP was not happy.

      I’d like that but full electric, minimum 500km in the “tank” I had an all electric vehicle and LOVED everything about it, except the range. Then eventually I needed a truck for my job (but I did cram my Kia Soul to the brim for the 3 years I had it.)

      I’d buy a hybrid though, if that’s what was available.

        Nah, I don’t need diesel. Lets be honest at hybrid it’ll do the job just fine as is.

        Basically I want the kind of pickup truck that I can toss a few 2x4s in the back and go, doesn’t have to be big, doesn’t need a lot of hauling power. Which is the opposite of the way trucks are going nowadays, which are big as fuck and made to tow the fucking world with the shortest damn truck bed that I’ve watched people struggle to get a tv into because the bed is too short.
