Ford says upcoming affordable EV truck won't really be a truck

[SP1966]

That's actually not terrible. It's a Mustang, it's a Ute, and being electric it's quiet, so it'll be called the Ford M'Ute!

Pacer X 304 v8 was pretty badass back in the day,those cars were so light that smog v8 would send them down the road.

My Mom had a Pacer X in bright yellow with the inline 6. That thing was indestructible, I know because I tried! LOL

A Pacer needed to be fast to outrun it's ugly. According to wikipedia the Pacer X weighed 3190, pretty heavy for a compact. The Gremlin though was really light for a V8, around 2600. I knew a guy who had 1 back then and it would fly. I always like the look of the Gremlin, not so much the Pacer.

One of the 4 AMC's I have owned was a 74 Gremlin X, gunmetal silver with blue accents. If I remember correctly it was a 304 V8. I went through a few rear tires.

But that's not Ford's design. That's someone's AI prompt.

Yes, I understood that. I'm not sure what your point is

I didn't know if you understood that.

In those days, the Mercury Comet was the Mercury version of the Ford Maverick car. Pretty much identical except for grill and tail lights.

There were V8's offered eventually, not at first IIRC. I think most of the hot rodded Mavericks were V8 conversions or transplants. One of my best friends in college had a then late model (73, I think) V8 Comet that was bone stock.

My brother and I shared a 72 Comet, in high school. stock V8. It would beat the smaller engine Trans Am every single time… no contest. I believe it was a 4.3. Couldn’t beat the 6.6 but it sure was close. That Comet was a lightweight “SLEEPER”. Of course, ours was nicknamed the “Vomit” . Just take a look at the color
