6,000 jobs + 21,000 "indirect" jobs are said to be on the way when the plant opens. Fabulous! Maybe they can retrofit the plant to make gas and diesel models when the gov't subsidy and propaganda push dies a well-deserved natural death.
Absolutely terrible for towing. Not recommended for off-road as they are significantly heavier and therefore lower to the ground. Great for city driving though, grocery hauling. That said their Powerboost hybrid seems amazing, especially with the 7.2kw generator built in to the back.
Personally, as someone getting a new truck here soon, I'm getting a diesel engine. 30mpg and can tow and off-road just fine.
Even dodges with the cylinder deactivation tech get 30-32mpg.
