Who’s going to skip the 250 and go right to 40’s on a LC Se?
That thing is hideous...Who’s going to skip the 250 and go right to 40’s on a LC Se?

The primary reason I went to Cruiser Fest was to sit in one to answer that question. But us mere mortals were not allowed. Maybe Kurt or Christo could answer. Standing there it looked like visibility would be on par with previous models. With maybe the flat hood being the only downside.I have a question to anyone who has sat in one. How is the visibility? The 200 is great, but it "feels" like I am sitting in a fortress compared to my 100. The size looks awesome, but it won't mean a thing if I cannot see out of it.
That said, the fortress of metal in the 200 is nice if a rollover happens...
I am also going to be very interested to see how MPGs are effected when weight and especially drag is added to this vehicle. I suspect it will be great stock and crap when it gets modded. That said, maybe ARB will have some sort of aerodynamic bumper addition. Ford got in trouble with their turbo engines because no one could really hit the claimed MPGs. Once modded, I believe the 250 will be the same. It wouldn't surprise me to see fuel mileage drop by 30-50% with weight and drag. We will see.
My dad had a Prius and could never hit what they said it would..... Most others i know with hybrids have the same problem. All stock, no mods etc...I have a question to anyone who has sat in one.

I agree and that is stock.My dad had a Prius and could never hit what they said it would..... Most others i know with hybrids have the same problem. All stock, no mods etc...
used my friends hybrid f150 to get my Chevelle from Texas. Towing an empty trailer we got like 17 i think. On the way home i think it went down to 14ish..... it's MPG's are laughable for sure! The coolest thing about that truck is the 240V 30amp outlet in the bed!My neighbor has a hybrid F150....My diesel 2500 HD gets better fuel economy than his hybrid F150. And might weigh less as well.
