Would be nice to see actual pics instead of silly silhouettes. I am in the market for exactly this kind of truck (especially a manual) but this doesn’t inspire me to want to buy it.

The company was started no earlier than December, according to the articles linked in another comment. Very real possibility that no pics or semi-finalized CAD design even exist yet at this point.
So its basically an underdeveloped kickstarter project.
It's basically an idea without enough funding to exist.
I don't think 25$ reservation slots are going to pay for a full assembly line.
the hat claims that it was started in 1905?
The original reo went bankrupt in 1967 and after series of mergers ended up as part of the truck company diamond reo. Diamond reo then had difficulties and stopped production in 1995. This reo is wholly unrelated, except the guy who started it bought the trademark.

The founding date for the original REO. I don't think they have an unbroken line back to the original

Why are people designing such thoughtless websites?
On the other hand, perhaps it is just that the company here has presented in its totality all existing information about the vehicle in question.
That's the scary thought. Maybe the site is all they've got.
Slate at least is far enough along that someone got to drive the prototype.[1]
(Amusingly, Google pairs that video with an ad, "Freedom is Loud", for a Stellantis truck product.)
