I assume they don't, but I would buy one if that's the case. Personally I'm waiting to see the all electric F150 for this single reason. I'd like to see how Ford implements their god awful vacuum actuated system in a vehicle which produces no vacuum. I doubt they will opt for one DC motor per wheel and I'm very interested to learn what their solution is. My 2017 F150 has been bullet proof except for the IWE's which fail every winter like clockwork.

You are crushing my hopes. I might end up as the first electric F150 owner to retrofit manual locking hubs lol. I hate Ford s IWE design more than plastic timing chain guides.

Honestly if someone sold a hub assembly/replacement bearing assembly that bolted to the factory knuckle and allowed us to install manual hubs, I'd do it in a second as well.
