Sorry, I’d rather not say. But you might find this map interesting:
Welp, that's unfortunate....Some sketches, we'll see how close the final truck is to these. They're bold, polarizing, but I kinda love how Ford took a swing with the styling.
Now that's a paragraph to end all paragraphs....Things many non EV owners don't know. As an owner (wife's daily) of a 23 Mach-e It would take a HUGE change to EV's for me to buy another. Our EV claimed range is 258 miles per charge, we've never achieved that even in the best of conditions. In the winter if we want to be comfortable with heat our driving range can drop nearly in half. Forget about trips and relying on outside chargers, it can easily cost more than the equivalent in gas and have you waiting for a charger and then waiting for the charge to complete. The extra weight of the battery eats tires up, we're at 27k miles and by 30k no question we will be buying the 3rd set (1 set came with vehicle) and we are older adults that aren't racing around. Very important is the cost of insurance, which is easily 50% to more than double a standard ICE vehicle. Registration also cost more which I understand since they don't collect the gas tax for road repairs. I wouldn't mind that so much if I saw those road repairs or at least saw them without 12 guys standing around doing nothing. Give me a Mav with 40-50 miles of electric range with ICE and I'm all in. For now I'm very happy with my Hybrid Mav allowing me to travel where no man has traveled before(okay a little exaggeration for effect) lol. Your miles may differ but this is my experience owning an EV here on Long Island, NY for 2+ years. PS my year Mach e doesn't have a heat pump which I hear helps in the winter but I'd can't imagine it helps enough. Now the plus side, it drives well, it is quiet and the instant torque is nice when merging etc, charging from home is also very convenient and cost effective charging at night. So this is usually the go to for local errands. Many EV's have taken a huge hit in resale value for many of the reasons I stated. To slightly naive buyers who aren't aware of the pitfalls mentioned they may think they're getting a good deal on a used one and they might be if they can charge from home and are looking for something to mainly drive locally, BUT get insurance quotes before that "good" deal ends up costing you a lot more than you bargained for. The End
So an F150 Lightening, Ranger SportTrak, Honda Ridgline, and Cybertruck are all organ donors for this new truck?The Fast Lane Truck channel posted an article yesterday with a rendering that seems fairly close to the sketch OneAlienBoi had in post #5:

Personally I kinda like the picture Chops posted in post #76 better, but this one above may be closer to what Ford's doing...certainly very aerodynamic and a bit unconventional. To me it looks like a Lightning and a Santa Cruz had a baby.
Right??? That'd be almost as bad as making a new unibody pickup and naming it after a 70's coupe.
In Virginia I pay additional $11 (rounding up)registration fee for my ecoboost because it has a combines mpg over 24. Hybrid Maverick would be $100 a year more.
If it wasn't for all the "Recalls" we would not have a reason for this forum. We all joined to ask about problems that others have, that we also are facing. It seems to me I have made many friends (by there sign in names) but never met, that I would miss if I didn't check in every day to read what members are discussing. I soon will be starting my 5th year (3/9/26) owning my Maverick, and only missed a few days now, and then reading members rants.
that is some BS. I know not a lot of money but come on!
I always have the option to buy a vehicle that gets 15 mpg to save that $11.
