If we had a buck for each startup that shows up and states it intends to build the Holy Grail of the current automotive market, a truly affordable EV, only to either go the way of the dodo or fail to deliver on their promises, we’d probably be so rich we could afford to, well, launch our own startup. The latest in this long line is Slate, with its “Truck”.

It’s key selling point is that it’s a back-basics single-cab pickup with a super affordable price starting under $28,000, or around $20,000 with EV incentives that President Trump hasn’t axed (yet) despite being openly against them.

Even if Slate’s pickup truck does hit the market exactly as promised, you don’t need to read the fine print to realize that its EV is affordable not because they’ve found a secret sauce, but due to it being laughably basic. So much so that it lacks not just most of the features we’ve come to expect as standard, but also things like electric windows, an audio system, speakers, and an infotainment screen. You can pay extra to add them in, but at that point, aren’t you just defeating the whole “affordable EV” idea?

Or, You Know, Just Get a Ranger

If all you really want is a cheap single-cab truck with the minimum comfort creatures, here’s a used Ford Ranger for you. Not the current model, which is far from basic and definitely not an EV from a startup, but a classic, third-generation 1999 Ranger XLT, which is set to cross the Mecum auction block on May 15.

Sure, it’s 26 years old, powered by a 2.5-liter combustion engine, and you still have to crank the windows with your hands, but hey, it’s got stuff. Not exactly luxury, but it’s hardly a bare-bones, dollar store special either. It sports an automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, air conditioning, alloy wheels, a soft bed cover, chrome grille and bumpers.

But wait, there’s more! This truck also gets a radio (yes, with speakers), a center console arm rest, cupholders and, brace yourself EV startup defenders, a glovebox! You know, basic human comforts you won’t find in the Slate EV unless you pay extra for the “luxury”.

Moreover, it has a much more useful range than the base Truck’s lame 150 miles that can be increased to 240 miles (if you pay more), a max payload and towing capacity that exceed the Truck’s 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and 1,000 lbs (453 kg), respectively, is built by a legacy automaker, has sold in great numbers so parts are readily available, and despite its age, the odo reads just 51,645 miles.

So, if you’re after a cheap, no-nonsense single-cab truck, don’t worry; you’ve got options. You just won’t find them wrapped in the shiny, buzzword-heavy startup hype that’s always promising to change the world.
