They’ll sell a decent number initially to the greenie crowd and some of the younger Ford pickup enthusiasts who will bling them up with giant wheels and lowering kits.

What they won’t sell to are their core pickup buyer market who are suburban or semi rural guys who use their trucks like cars during the week but travel out of town on the weekend for fun, often towing things. Rural farm types like me certainly won’t buy them, I could barely get to town and back on the range it offers.

Ford would have a market for them if they’d make a basic two door work truck version. Contractors who work 9-5 in town with short distances between jobs who park the trucks at night for charging would likely buy them. They don’t need the range and their schedules are predictable enough to plan charging times. Ford won’t do that though, they’ll build all top of the line loaded models to maximize profits. After a selling frenzy for the first six months the sales will fall by about 90% as people figure out they’re not really practical.

To get a ‘basic’ pickup, no bells & whistles, no PW, no power seats, etc, is practically impossible nowadays...............
