This episode of Roundabout focuses on trucks, but takes an unexpected turn with a discussion about the Nissan Leaf. The hosts explore a peculiar method of recharging the Leaf's battery by towing it behind a Toyota Tundra, utilizing its regenerative braking. While acknowledging the ingenuity, they highlight the absurdity and potential cost implications of this 'range extension' technique, noting it could significantly increase the Leaf's price. The segment also touches on the Leaf's storage capacity and compares it to the Volt. Other segments cover a vintage Citroen food truck, a bizarre incident involving compressed air and a truck driver, Steve Jobs' past vehicle choices, a lightweight UPS delivery truck, a heavily armored 'Narco Tank' truck, and the role of pickup trucks in disaster relief. The show concludes with a 'Price is Right' segment featuring various trucks, including a Jeep Comanche, Toyota HX, Dodge Ram SRT10, and a GMC Syclone.
