Offering up to 400 mi of driving range and 10,000 lb trailering capacity at market launch, the electric pickup truck revealed at CES 2022 will be available in two configurations, an RST First Edition for consumers and a fleet-oriented WT work truck for commercial customers kicking things off in spring 2023.

The first goal of the STI E-RA electric vehicle racer, previewed by a concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2022 and powered by Yamaha motors, is to try to record a lap time in a time attack at the Nürburgring circuit from 2023.
