Can't wait to see how this plays out. I think Fords going to make a lot of anti EV haters rethink it. Of course not the macho macho men.

Macho macho men also review facts when making a decision.

Also when fuel prices drop, and they will drop; the macho macho men that purchase this truck just to say they had the first one will be purchasing their next truck with potentially with a ICE.

Not that I care one way or other what anyone buys,
but anyone who drives Tesla will never go back to ICE.

Its that much better cheaper to fill up and way more eficient. Electric motor is about 99%.

I gave up on Ford about forty years ago due to awful quality problems and would never trust them doing ev better then Tesla

Only problem w Ev is the long wait,once thats solved ice is history.

Yah. And I gotta say, towing with an EV the last couple months has been...enlightening. Range aside, we have towed everything with everything, and it is a whole different experience towing with an EV. We’ll keep it fair and just compare an SUV to an SUV. But towing a small trailer with a gas grand Cherokee and the same type of trailer with an EV SUV is an eye opening experience. Power on tap and lots of it, no hesitation, no shifting, no heating on hills, superior breaking with almost all of it regenerative braking and totally quiet and effortless.

Long range and heavy trailering will belong in the realm of gas and diesel for a few more years yet. But those who have towed with an EV will be looking forward to an EV that meets their needs. It will be interesting to see what comes down the pipe in the next 5 or 6 years.

All JMHO. Not an expert.
