    We’ll see how it goes.
    With no paint however I wonder what kind (if any) corrosion protection it’ll have. Especially if it’s sold in the Midwest or the Northeast.

    Looks like a new Bronco and a Land Rover had a love child.

    I'm glad to see all the tech and digital bull#### isn't in there. Never wanted it and never asked for it. Although I'd like to see it as an extended cab with a useable truck box. 5 feet is useless for me. 6'6 minimum length to be practical.

    The market is there. If Bezos markets the truck correctly and prices it right he’ll make a killing on top of the billions he makes now.

    There's supposed to be a whole array of after-market products to buy after you own the truck.
