Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah, it seems like it's in a different class than a Ranger/Maverick/Slate, at least in price if not size.
It also seems like they're still in the "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" part of the design phase, talking about things like the midgate and the storage tunnel under the bed that might double as a footwell for third-row seating. Between that and the almost-cabover design (which I kinda like, but which would be pretty unpopular among people who care about crumple zones) I'm pretty skeptical that the Telo "truck" will make it to production, especially while keeping all those promised features and specs intact.
Edit: also also, I could be wrong, but I think there's a point where towing capacity gets limited by how small the towing vehicle is in terms of weight and/or wheelbase, regardless of how strong its motor, brakes and frame might be. I'm a little concerned the Telo might be pushing that limit.
I agree that we're in the "wait and see" phase with regards to what features make it into the production line. I hadn't really considered those other limitations on towing, but it's also not something I need to do on a regular basis currently.
