The current system we have works and is the best according to our CPA, but thanks.

I use the miles deduction since I drive it for personal use. I cannot afford two vehicles.

The secret here is to find a vehicle for the next 3-4 years and the Bronco fits that bill right now, barring any deal breakers, which is unlikely, but I'm a calculating individual. I believe in 2-4 years, we will see a 4x4 capable of 30+ mpg (or electric) that will have everything I need. Ford...

The way I drive, that will be 10 mpg!

The article says it only gets 24 mpg. This is the same as the Explorer ST.

The problem with high-end, electric pick-ups right now is pricing and charging. Most are going to be over $75k with extended mileage options. The 700 mile batteries will require about 800v to charge overnight. The converters for that much power don't exist yet. Otherwise, a 120v. charger would...

Thanks. The problem is interior size with the Porsche. We have to carry both chasing related equipment and EMS gear. Although we can sometimes store personal luggage in a service vehicle, the service vehicle is going to be phased out as soon as gas prices go "green." Right now, the Bronco is...

There are not a lot of choices right now. Most small SUV's are grossly under-powered, kid haulers. The Toyota is a super gas guzzler (18mpg or less) and has very poor highway handing with total failure acceleration. (I won't buy anything w/o 7 seconds or less 0-60). You can super-charge it for...

Thanks so much for the update. Please post more if you see something. I'm 90% sold on the Bronco and the only thing holding me back are the independent reviews, especially regarding highway driving / handling. Either way, Ford gets my mula unless Land Rover comes through on a sponsorship.

I don't believe the ST can be lifted with the tuned suspension, although I have some mechanics working on it. It might be a lot more fun to chase in with twin turbos.

Still waiting for a test drive and some other data before committing 100% to the Sport. For storm chasing and volunteer EMS work, I have to get it right. I found this article while surfing the web late last night. The Explorer FX4 could be an interesting alternative to the BS if I have to bail...

They can raise gas prices to any level they want. We live in crazy times. People in CA have suffered this for years. I travel a lot so potential $5.00+ per gallon gas prices are a deal breaker for me. Good 4x4 hybrids are still years away, although I've heard that heavy-duty, water tight battery...

The problem is proposed Green Deal "carbon taxes" on gasoline, not just the cost of oil. The purpose (like it or not) is to encourage people to buy electric and limit carbon emissions.

It's not $8.00 here yet, but depending on the political environment, US oil production could come to a screaming halt. I mean this as a fact with the addition of the Green Deal, not a political statement either way.
