Quoted from slicknick13:I like how the counterarguments here are "Well, if it can't drive 1000 miles on a single charge and power my house through a maybe once in a lifetime power outage, it's a piece of shit!"
Look, 99% of the people that drive trucks use it to haul some plywood or trash or furniture around town. Most of us have an occasional brownout or a couple hours of power outage here and there. A whole house UPS would be great. I wish my Tesla did it, they've been pussyfooting around for years with car to home.
You want to haul a boat, get a Diesel F-350, they're still there, but don't shit on an electric truck cause it can't.
Cripes, it's a wonder that the small Rangers and S-10's even existed with the way some of you talk.
You offer a win or lose argument, which isn't the case.
I think most of the discussion is how Ford is advertising as being a replacement for a gas vehicle and its 10,000 tow capacity which is largely theoretical unless you want to tow under 100 miles and then have to charge again.
The truck fills a niche market which Ford advertising is trying to convince you otherwise.
Stay in the niche and you will be fine with it just like if you purchase a Ranger, S-10 or Dakota.
You know what you are getting into when you purchase one.
Ironically vehicle makers have little interest in making small trucks, the profits are smaller and costs to make them almost is large as a full size. My Dakota and Durango were fine vehicles which did the job well which is why I chose them, just enough truck to get the job done.
And then Chrysler killed them off for hulking monstrosities which were more profitable..
