CARSGUIDE PODCAST: TOOLS IN THE SHED EP. 98

EV Channels Review

This episode of CarsGuide Podcast's 'Tools in the Shed' dives deep into the burgeoning market of American pick-up trucks arriving in Australia, with a particular focus on the Nissan Titan, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra, and GM's potential offerings (GMC Sierra/Canyon). The hosts highlight the success of RAM as the catalyst for this trend, noting the challenges and ongoing investigations by manufacturers for local conversion or factory right-hand drive options. The discussion also touches on the suitability of electric vehicles for hardcore off-roading, concluding that while capable for general use and towing, extreme off-road scenarios are still a way off for EVs due to battery placement and ground clearance concerns. The episode also features reviews of the Peugeot 308 GT, Suzuki Jimny, Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, Ford Ranger Raptor, and a special edition Mazda MX-5, alongside the usual 'MuskWatch' segment covering AI, SpaceX, and Tesla's business ventures.
