I was hella into Stompers and I sure don’t recall that one. Man those were fun.
Me too. Don't remember ever seeing that one in the stores. Only the catalogs. Wilderness campers or something like that. The Holy Grail of Stompers for me. Can't believe how much they are bringing these days.

I haven’t seen in years. My favorite was the red Peterbilt. Brings back good memories

View attachment 102984 Swiped this photo, but remember the wheelie thing?
Yep.
The Stomper II's were cool, but they were higher geared (in "low") and would actually struggle in tough stuff. The 1st ones (with the fixed speed) were better. And the foam tires? But...i guess they figured that poor white trash like me wouldn't have batteries, so at least the II's could freewheel like big, pricey hotwheels. I had few of each. Including a cab-over semi truck that was badass (all those wheels turning).

I still have one of the mini's they gave out at McDonalds.

Stompers were just cool. Doubt they'd even register with today's kids. And who wants a Prius Stomper anyways....

Here it is Ram boys, read it and weep.
Ford is going to dominate trucks when the Obama emission regulations kick in!

'We're going to electrify the F-Series,' Ford exec says

(haha, there is probably a place for electric pickups, like city maintenance where the tax money to buy it is free)
Full electric vehicles have proved to be the worst for resale so far so I think people aren’t ready yet for them. It’s funny how people think they are better for the environment but it still takes mostly fossil fuels to power them and those batteries are extremely hard on things. I think I’d still carry a Honda genny along with lol

All this bs on which diesel is better, I spent over 40 years in the diesel repair business and Every manufacturer has service departments at their dealerships and they all stay busy. When I was at a Ford dealership most people drove things other than a Ford. To those that think fords are the best then work at a Ford dealer for a while. As for me I will and have had a Mopar to drive. Since 1978 I have had them and never ever been left on the side of the road.

A bit behind the competition / times. GM already had some for purchase in 2016.

Not quite fully blown Prius type, but not far behind.

E-assist is nothing more than a joke.
Done for regulatory compliance.
(And I have a GM truck (actually I got the Izuzu engine, the Chevy truck just keeps the oil pan from dragging on the ground)).
