Be interesting what actual final pricing is. They state RWD with optional AWD. Guessing $30k is a RWD XL so AWD XLT could be $40? Likewise they mention multiple battery sizes. It's going to be infinitely easier to guess the launch is Slate price, it's just one battery and one configuration. The options call all be after the sale. When there are options the $30k truck becomes marketing as most people will build up and likelihood that base units won't be available at launch? So you wind up with units north of $40k on the lot unless it's a special order. It'll be interesting to see how far apart a base price is of these trucks plus adding dealer markups to the Ford. I hope Ford can pull this off and it's a great product.Latest Motor Trend article has new details and two renderings that seem pretty accurate so far. Check it out:

I was Just stirring the pot...
Really does not make sense to me for Ford to invest in making something more similar to the Santa Cruz, considering the low sales volume they experienced. Why not keep improving/upgrading the Maverick or just work at reducing the amount of ongoing recalls.Latest Motor Trend article has new details and two renderings that seem pretty accurate so far.

Ford is investing in low-cost EVs. This is merely the first vehicle they're offering on that platform.
If it comes with bacon bits I'm all over it!Does sound like a salad dressing, doesn't it???????????? How about Italiano or Blue CheeseO?? Does it come with croutons?
Funny, looking at your AI rendering made me realize that Motor Trend's rendering features a conventional grille. That makes no sense for an EV, so that's probably wrong.I like the AI rendering game so here's my prompt to Gemini and it's guess:
Look up the spy photos of the new Ford EV truck and make an image of what that vehicle will look like based on the most current Ford design language.
Oh, look at those highly polarizing wheels!
Because of the reflection at the very top right of the rendering's grille, I just assumed it was solid and textured/colored black, which there is precedent for... A few OEMs are trying to keep the conventional "look" - even though, to your point, the openings are not needed.

Now this rendering is probably closer to what Ford would put in production. The front end desgin seems familiar and ugly asI like the AI rendering game so here's my prompt to Gemini and it's guess:

. For a positive at least the wheels are a little better looking than the ugly ones we see on most EV's imo.
