I am a E7 Driver on my second one now 2008 and 2012 seems like most the problems with the old models are now sorted. Just had a TX4 for a week as a replacement vehicle on a insurance claim and must say I loved it loved the feel love the look loved the way it drove and would buy one tomorrow. BUT my E7 will do 37mpg round town and 40mpg on a long run. And the TX4 I was getting about 23mpg so I will have to stick with the E7 till the TX gets a better engine with better mpg. I would rather have the proper thing to be honest. But in saying that the E7 is a great cab

Maybe you will be in the market for an electric TX, which will hopefully address the mpg problem.

No never will I go electric complete waist of time and money. When they come up with a electric cab that will do 600miles on a full charge and 5 minutes to recharge like it takes me to fill my tank till that day the E7 will be fine. Just wish the TX had better mpg

When the electric car is viable it wont need charging, the wheels will be driven by electric motors ok, but the juice will be generated onboard by a high efficiency gas turbine generator or a hydrogen fuel cell, batteries are a dead duck, always have been
