I chose my screen name to represent what I believe will be a popular model to many, without all the bells and whistles. In particular I’d like more information on the details of what may be the possibilities of removing many non-essential items, such as a large screen display on the dash. As a vehicle ages these are the types of items that become very difficult to find replacements for. I’m thinking in terms of what would be popular in agricultural areas where a truck is used purely for what is needed in surroundings where a pickup truck can often be seen in the fields used for various work related tasks.
This vehicle could also double for recreational use. For example a removable camper shell should be able to be installed on the truck bed. A long bed truck would be a requirement for this, whose utility would benefit both work and recreational use.
So far the details on the above requirements are missing. However any information others find available will be much appreciated. I view Rivian as a possible successor to International Harvester due to the durability of electric drive trains and their suitability to tasks that require torque that is more even and controllable than that of an internal combustion engine.
I hope I’m wrong about this, but unfortunately, so far, it seems Rivian’s management is targeting the Wall Street crowd, rather than those who actually have always made the country “work’
