shoulda shorted TSLA today..oh wait SEC may come knocking since my last name isn't Musk....a $52K well appointed truck will give them a run for their money. Ford has some good leadership now. Second only to apple in brand recognition and way undervalued.

yeh they seem to have a good track record the past few years, compared to GM and such. Covid def hit them hard with the Bronco and the 21 f150s but I think every manufacturer is struggling with that. More reason why we should be building everything in the U.S.

Am i the only one that thinks the Headlights and tail lights are hideous? Also weird that they did not update the shape of the headlight and tail lights to reflect the 2021 model. Looks like some Ebay specials.. Other than the lights, This thing is awesome but i wont be a buyer.

Very impressive "on paper".....and looks good too. Will be curious to read up on the test drive reports from the auto rags.

But for now, Ford has a nice jump start on the EV PU world. How will the competition respond???

I'll be ready for a new truck by 2023....this might be it.

Hey ford, nice job waving the shiny toy to distract from your terrible customer service right now.

I love the truck. Looks great, technology is great, range in manageable if you pay the extra for the extended range battery. Towing capabilities are more than necessary for the average person. But.....I need a 6 seater😔. Maybe the '23 will have 3 and 3 seating option. I would definitely change the wheels too if the ones shown are the only option.

300 Miles is rough to hear, but Ford has been better about accuracy of real world range than some others, and for its size and weight and capability, I guess it's about right. I am less worried about the range when they said 4WD was standard, I was afraid it would be like the Mach E where 300 miles was the Long Range RWD version, and I think 270 for the LR AWD. 300 for 4WD full size pickup is respectable for the state of battery tech.

Plus, you start every morning AT 300 miles, it's an area that many not used to EVs miss. You aren't doing weekly runs to the gas station on the way to work or whatever. The only time the 300 miles would conceivably be more of a factor is on road trips, and that will definitely be harder than the 700 miles I got with my 36 gallon 2.7L.
