This week, Robbie forgot to set his alarm so we recorded the show in two parts and spliced it together. Nicole had the 2021 Hyundai Sonata hybrid with a great powertrain and a gimmicky roof. Sam ripped off some impressive acceleration runs when he could find some untrafficked dirt roads where the sound of a bellowing Hellcat in the Ram 1500 TRX wouldn’t grab to much attention. Roberto went even more heavy duty this time with a drive in the Daimler’s new EM2 electric box truck and riding shotgun in the battery powered E-Cascadia semi.
In the news, we discuss Ford’s launch of the Timberline rugged off-road trim level starting with the Explorer and the return of Citroen to the American market with the diminutive Ami going into car sharing fleets in Washington DC and Portland, Oregon. We finish up with a listener letter about electric road tripping.
