I fucking would if I could buy a 2 door truck. But no, the only electric pickup options are 4 door, maximum size cabs with practically no bed.

I only want a truck for the bed. If it's electric it can be a daily driver but I don't need a back seat. My wife has the little SUV for that.

But I can't get that. So instead I'm going to buy an electric sprinter van for half the price.
