My Chevy Bolt Just Hit 100,000 Miles and Costs Me 2.6 Cents a Mile, But the New Bolt's Run Reportedly Shrank 75% (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My 2018 Chevy Bolt just passed 100,000 miles, and at my home electricity rate it costs me about 2.6 cents a mile to drive, compared with nearly double that in my F-150 Lightning. That's why a recent report that GM will build far fewer of the new 2027 Chevy Bolt than planned caught my attention. According to Reuters, Dontay Wilson, president of the local United Auto Workers at GM's Kansas City area plant, says the plant is on pace to build only about 35,000 Bolts before production ends, down from
One Ford Maverick Driver Came Home Happy After a 6,500-Mile Camper Trip, But My 250-Mile Tow Led Me to a Rivian R1T (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I read Patriot68's account of a 6,500-mile camping trip, I recognized the unease he described in Wyoming's crosswinds. I had felt it towing my own camper through Texas. What stayed with me was his conclusion: after all those miles, he was “Extremely happy” with his Ford Maverick. I had driven just 250 miles and come away wanting a different truck. There is a substantial difference between our stories: his Maverick had the factory 4K Tow Package. Mine had a 2,000-pound tow rating, and my Jay
The Slate Truck's Front Bumper Hides a Power Cord and a Tow Hook Mount, But Nobody at Slate Could Explain It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At Slate's press event in Austin, Texas, I popped a small panel off the Slate truck's front bumper and found a household style power cord plugged into a threaded mount that looks like a tow hook point. Slate staff on site couldn't say what it was for, and reservation holders on r/slateauto have been trying to figure it out since. After removing a plastic cover on the front bumper, we found a hidden feature: a standard black power cord plugged directly into a metallic component threaded into the
The 250-Mile Tow That Canceled My Ford Maverick Order and Led Me to an EV Truck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes the vehicles that most shape your automotive perspective aren't the ones that exceed your expectations. They're the ones that challenge assumptions you didn't realize you were making. For me, that vehicle was a Ford Maverick. Not because it broke down or left me stranded; in fact, the Maverick performed exactly as designed. But during a 250-mile towing trip along the Texas coast, it exposed a flaw in how I thought about truck capability. Like many buyers, I spent months focused on tow
The Slate EV Reminded Me of My Old Ford Ranger. Ten Minutes Later, I Reserved One (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I rode along in the Slate EV truck at Slate's press event in Austin, Texas, and it reminded me so much of my old 2008 Ford Ranger that I put down a reservation before I left. On paper, it even beats my Ranger, with a 2,000 pound tow rating and a $24,995 starting price that lands right where small trucks used to live. Every year brings bigger dimensions, bigger screens, more horsepower, and bigger price tags. Manufacturers brag about supercar acceleration times and tech features that would have s
