What's Happening: Ford is finally showing its hand on the "affordable" EV front. The Blue Oval confirmed that its secretive California-based “Skunk Works” team has birthed a new midsize electric pickup, and they’re sending it to Kentucky for the heavy lifting. The truck, roughly the size of a Maverick, will be built on a new "Universal Electric Vehicle" platform at the Louisville Assembly Plant starting next year. The goal? A $30,000 price tag by the time it hits showrooms in 2027. Ford’s engineers have been spotted testing prototypes in Dearborn and across the country, trying to prove that a U.S.-made EV doesn't have to cost as much as a suburban condo. It’s a massive pivot toward high-volume, low-margin manufacturing that relies on a simplified assembly process to keep costs down. Why It Matters to Machine Shops: This signals a major retooling phase at the Louisville plant, creating a secondary wave of demand for tier-2 suppliers who can handle the tighter tolerances and specialized components of a high-efficiency electric platform.

New patent for the EV truck. This patent is for the bed rails, but you can see the shape of the bed sides and the rear door handles.

Latest Motor Trend article has new details and two renderings that seem pretty accurate so far. Check it out:

SMH.

Nice looking truck. If it has a mid-gate to allow for a 6' bed, it will be a success.

I would like:

350 mile range
quick charging
0-60 in under 6 sec
$40k for upper trim level.

 

[RR - All the way]

As of this moment. my thought: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like my EcoBoost. I know it's an AI render... The front fenders are flared out and the rear bedsides are not... And the wheels... Pass
