From Transport Evolved.
Welcome to today’s show!
This week, we’ve got a fair bit of Truck news – including how F150 Lightning owners use their vehicles for more truck-like activities than ICE F150 owners, and why hardened truck fans aren’t all fans of the Tesla Cybertruck. Plus much more, of course (as listed below!)
