The Slate initially looked good to me, but there were three things about it that were not upgradeable that seemed problematic:

* Bed size is fairly small

* Towing capacity is low (Just 1000lbs)

* RWD -> AWD

I liked the idea of buying a barebones truck and customizing it myself, but if it can't tow much, can't carry much, and can't go off-road, it's only really a truck in terms of its shape.





There really is always going to be something. shrug

Those are all the things people use trucks for

Yes. If I fold the back seats down in my wife's SUV, it already does all of those things better.
