The sole positive is he can plug a welder into it…

But it’s a hell of a lot cheaper to just put a generator in the bed of a real truck. Plus you won’t accidentally use all your battery welding and be stuck. Since you can’t just bring out a new battery, you’d have to tow it back.

Also, it costs $100k. No sane farmer is spending $100k on a work truck that’s inevitably going to get really dirty and banged up.

And won’t survive things like… getting sprayed with water.

You’re being unreasonable, it’s a farm not an ocean! Ever seen a water farm? Didn’t think so.

I don’t know man, a lot of work trucks can get to six figures pretty easily once you start adding utility beds and the like. Especially if you start with a one ton.

I agree, but those people don’t tend to be farmers, in my experience (or maybe I only know poor farmers).

Have you seen the bed of a cybertruck? It’s barely usable
