the theory is good but if the payload is 800lbs then it is useless...

We aren't talking about a Toyota Tacoma here.

The truck to get if you want an EV looks like the Hummer to me.

Actually I kind of want one, only kind of.

[spikerS]

Well, I think my waffling has been settled. Not gonna bother with the hybrid, but, I am getting the Lightning. Pricing is pretty good too! <$65k for the mid tier, and yes, that is in CAD.

[killramos]

I assume range is not nearly good enough if you tow anything?

300 miles face value becomes? 120? 150? With something behind you?

Assuming 1.5hours of towing (a stretch?) to have juice to get home



Doesn’t get you far…

They actually called it a frunk...

Sorry, it's targeted a frunk.

$68K-$110K.

I don't think your pricing is right.

Only if can top up at your destination. If you want to tow and make it home, sounds like you get 1hr range if you are lucky with base battery or find tons of chargers along the way. And the 300m (470km) battery is the top end. The base battery can only do 200m (370km)

It’s a Ford.

68-110k is code for 45-80k

I got it here, but a lot of the other places are quoting the same numbers, and even in the YT video, the numbers quoted were pretty close iirc.

An official launch date is still unknown, but according to the report it will arrive in dealerships in mid-2022. The standard range model will start at $39,974 USD (~$48,470 CAD), while the “mid-range” model will start at $52,974 USD (~$64,233 CAD). These prices are before taxes and any available incentives.

The problem is those numbers is that they are direct currency conversation prices. You forgot to add the instant 20% MSRP increase for just being sold on Canadian soil.

That's American pricing conversion. $68k starting price is straight from Ford.ca.

The $40K USD staring price sounds like some sort of commercial bench vinyl seats version or something that we may not get in Canada.

But in the days of a $70K Wrangler, a $68K F150 that can do mid 4s to 60 is still reasonable?

[ExtraSlow]

First 1000 to hit dealer lots will be top of the line too, so $100k trucks.

Spike-man, my brother, this is a cool truck, but you will need one more gas truck before you have a shot at owning one of these. Maybe the Powerboost, maybe just a boring EcoBoost. Maybe just get a nasty tune on your current truck and shred the tires with hydrocarbons the way god intended, lol.

I look forward to seeing some real world numbers on the range, especially towing. I'm sure someone will come up with an in-bed range extender (or in-frunk), but can imagine the price on that.

If I could tow 8000lbs, 500kms through the mountains, I would definitely be picking one up but that's not going to happen.
