Let us know next year how yours is holding up.
Usually small engines stressed by heavy loads don't pan out too well, especially in the long term, it's why both Ford and GM just came out with new larger V-8 truck engines. (6.6 and 7.3 liter)
You can bolt on turbos and superchargers, but there is still little replacement for displacement.
And how is a generator powered by another carbon burning ICE a fix for the electric woes?

"There is the hint too on how F150 EV will solve the range issue to compete with Tesla -- on-board generator."

Chevrolet tried that with the Volt. It didn't sell very well. The engine weight will either "eat" the amount of batteries carried or payload. Probably both.

Screaming? Towing a load, my old company work truck V8 5.0L with a 3.55 rear ratio would be the one screaming versus the V6 3.5L EB with a 3.15 that later replaced it towing the same trailer. I could pull hills in 5th with the V6 EB that would cause the V8 5.0L to drop to 3rd screaming the whole way up.

This has been teased a couple of years ago. I like the look, but the 4 banger or hybrid model does nothing for me.

If they offer it with a 5.0L, I'd likely buy it.

If Jeep puts a hemi in their Gladiator, I might be interested in it too.

I don't like little screaming engines. I've owned them before, and driven newer ones. Not for me. I'm sure they'll sell plenty to the mall crawler crowds. In the meantime, I'll just keep my 2010 F150 with a V8.
