Cute and powerful Canoo electric pickup is the antithesis of Tesla's Cybertruck
Fox News
Electric truck startup Canoo has released images of a compact pickup it plans to put on sale by 2023. The truck features several clever features that turn it into a rolling Swiss Army knife.
The trucklet is built on the same platform as the company’s upcoming line of electric vans and is about the same length as a Toyota Rav4. Maximum power for an all-wheel-drive version is quoted at 600 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque, which would make it one of the most powerful pickups on the market today. Canoo hasn’t released a tow rating, but said it can carry a payload up to 1,800 pounds. The snub-nosed extended cab is the antithesis of Tesla’s edgy Cybertruck and features a six-foot bed that can be stretched to eight feet with a floor extension and barn door style tailgate. Additional clever features include bedsides that can fold open into tables, pop-out side steps that double as lockable storage drawers and a front trunk with a door that doubles as a shelf. Canoo will also offer a slide-in camper pod and roof basket with off-road lighting for adventuring. Just don’t expect to go too far into the wilderness as the pickup has an estimated range of 200 miles per charge.More Related News
