My state has annual property tax on all vehicles - cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs etc payable to the city or town. Then on top of that you have to pay for your license plates to the state every 3 years.

This will end up with a small, loyal enthusiast community, but I doubt it'll ever become a huge selling vehicle. Too basic for today's buyers, and if you start adding options you quickly get into a price range where a full featured truck like the Maverick would be competition.

You have no idea how low those registration numbers actually are. The town property tax on my Maverick is $380 this year. It was more last year. And for my Chevy Blazer EV the property tax for THIS YEAR is $1,085

Is the 2028 going to be an actual full redesign or a 2025 style refresh with limited changes? Ford usually seems to let models run 10 years before a completely new design is offered.

What are we even calling this new Ford EV truck? Is it really going to be the Ranchero? Given that it's clearly going to be an on road vehicle, the Ranchero name doesn't seem to fit. Ford whatever reason the Ranchero name to me conjures images of the 1950s fascination with westerns - John Wayne...

I have 16 months left on mine, under $8,000. The monthly interest is so low it doesn't make sense to put extra towards it

I'm sure they are studying Chinese EVs. Jim Farley talks about Chinese EVs all the time. The new Ford EVs are using licensed battery tech from a Chinese company.

Just came across this Geely RD6 pickup from China. Comes in hybrid or full EV. 207" long. Seems very similar to what the Ford EV pickup will be

At least with the Ford your dealer is probably close by for all the recalls. Where do you have to send the Rivian for service?

Right to repair and technical ability to repair are 2 different things. Right to repair doesn't mean tinkering in your driveway, it means 3rd party shops having access to the tools and the computer software to fix these vehicles. And why choose to build these vehicles with specialty tools other...

So someone on the Maverick forum is supposed to sign up for other forums to post about the new truck? Maybe people in those forums are also talking about it. Nobody is pushing anything. Some Maverick owners would consider making the switch to the EV, so it's of interest.

Or, just spit balling here, maybe as Maverick owners it's interesting to talk about the competition and future products

I do love how now in the comments the Maverick is the "real" truck and the new EV is the fake truck.

I don't get it. Each truck has a purpose. It's like an F450 driver sneering at someone in their puny F150.

Didn't someone already say that this truck is going to have door handles like the Mach E?

This is great. The "chapel of love" video actually gives you a good peek. You can see that there's a large center screen, and a little bit of the driver's side of the dashboard.

I would assume this truck has no buttons, or very few. Even the current gas vehicles have many functions on the touch screen.

Now I'm excited. All of Ford's recent EV announcements have turned out to be vaporware - the next gen EV Lightning, the "personal bullet train" 7 passenger, the Lincoln/Rivian luxury SUV. Never saw prototypes of any of those out on the streets. At least this truck is out and about finally...

Plenty of products have been aimed at the youth market only to really hit the aged adult market instead, the Maverick included.

You can torture the test vehicles all you want, but if in the end you build the whole truck out of the lowest quality parts, it's still gonna fall apart
