PODCAST: THERE'S A JIMNY UTE AND WE WANT IT BADLY - TOOLS IN THE SHED EP. 125

EV Channels Review

This episode of Tools in the Shed focuses heavily on the potential of a Suzuki Jimny ute, a conversion currently available in New Zealand. The hosts express significant desire for this model to reach Australia, highlighting its potential as a stripped-down, genuine working truck that fills a gap left by larger, more complex dual-cab utes. While acknowledging it won't rival Hilux or Ranger, they see it as a practical, capable 4x4 option. The discussion also touches on other vehicles driven this week, including the BMW M550i xDrive (praised for comfort but lacking the M5's ultimate thrill), the Subaru XV Hybrid (lauded for its handling and capability but criticized for questionable fuel economy and price), and the Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander (noted for its good looks and equipment but deemed pricey and not inspiring to drive). The 'MuskWatch' segment covers Elon Musk's potential role in ventilator production and Tulsa's bid for a Cybertruck Gigafactory, alongside a discussion on the Tesla Roadster's degradation in space.
