Model E EV division lost $4.8 billion
I seriously doubt an EV truck is on the horizon with the current political landscape.

As I’ve stated before. If you can purchase an EV pick up from Ford including destination charge for $30k I will record crapping my pants and post it on here.

So you believe that Ford is lying.
This Tuesday: See How Ford’s ‘Bounty’ Culture Will Deliver Affordable EVs
Ford’s Universal Electric Vehicle project is one of the most audacious and important projects in its history.
Following the introduction of the UEV Platform and Production System last year, we’re excited to share this next chapter about how Ford is taking on the challenge of the electric vehicle cost equation by chasing physics.
Join the UEV team for an in-depth look at how they approached the new platform to deliver more value for users, starting with a mid-size electric truck in 2027.

2027 is still a long way off. It is one thing to say it another to do it. At this point this Ford's equivalent of the Star Wars Rey movie.So you believe that Ford is lying.

The wild card not being considered is how much success a cheap (relatively) EV pickup may have for commercial use that needs to get 1-4 people + stuff + power their tools + a light utility trailer at most, that doesn't do more than 100-120 miles per day outside rare occasions. Could be turned into a van model as well pretty easily I'm guessing.
If I were a landscaping company owner, plumber, mobile mechanic, etc. I would just want the lowest running cost possible to run the business.
I'm interested to see if this one delivers or is another big flop at any rate, and really not hoping for the later. Economic suicide for this country to completely cede the future to China...don't care what your politics or feeling is on EVs (for yourself, others have other use cases) is.

I love how you hedge your crap bet with the destination charge added.
Ford have never included that in their quotes before like the under $20,000 Maverick in 2021 that did not include the destination charge. It was still damn affordable and in great demand.
The good news is that we won't have to hear about your spoiled pants (or see that thank god) when Ford announces in 2027 the near $30k EV Mid-size Truck before destination charges.
My 2022 Ford Maverick XLT with options below was $24,315 including destination charge and $26,068 out-the-door after tax-title-fees with no trade-in.
I expect similar with the $30k EV Truck. So 20% up-sale for the XLT + some options and destination charge brings it to $36k before TT&L.
Still very affordable and will have high demand.
The lowest operating cost truck will probably end up being a well used Ford F150 or similar with cheap insurance that is beat to hell but easily fixed with cheap, massively available parts.

Not with gas prices so low. I’ll stick to my seemingly trouble free stinker engine platform. Thank you very much.

I guess you forgot about how the Maverick went from concept to reality really fast:
Inside the Maverick’s Fast-Tracked Development Process
The 2027 EV seems to be on the same trajectory.
I expect next Tuesday's article/video: This Tuesday: See How Ford’s ‘Bounty’ Culture Will Deliver Affordable EVs will elaborate how this will be achieved.

It’s not hedging my bets as the destination charge is not optional or negotiable. Ford never sold a $20k Maverick. The cheapest one was 21,495.
They’ll pull the same BS with this EV. It will be 29,995 before destination and if you think the Maverick is cheaply built and they hide options in higher trims it’s going to be the same playbook for the EV pick up.

A F150 is useless to me as it cannot fit in my garage.
I also don't want to own a technological POS.
I love Android Auto, Blind Spot detection, rear camera backup, cross traffic warning, auto collision detection/braking, adaptive cruise etc

Yes it is hedging your bet and you just proved my point.
Fords $30k EV will be before destination charge which you just clarified exactly like the $19,995 Maverick was so your bet really wasn't really a bet that you could lose.
Not everyone likes a bare bones poverty vehicle like the XL. I disliked the appearance of the steel wheels and absolutely needed cruise control and more comfortable seats.
Thus I went with the XLT and added : Co-Pilot360 + Rear Sliding Window + 110V/400W Outlet in Cab.
I have no problem paying $36k (including destination charge) for an XLT version of the EV Truck with a few added features. I want to enjoy driving it not grimacing every time I am in it.
