They have one. The Maverick. They are pretty nice and you can get a good trim model around $30,000.

They would be better off with hybrid models rather than total electrics.

Not possible. The gubmint forced automakers to manufacture battery vehicles.
That cost real money for R&D, prototypes, testing and tooling.

The normal fuel vehicles are picking up that tab via higher prices

If they get one single truck in the hands of a consumer somewhere for $30,000 before taxes, “market adjustments”, doc fees, helium in tires, ceramic shield, Rusty Jones, $2,000 floor mats,etched glass, etc., I will eat my MAGA hat.

You would think by now that Ford would have been asble to read the handwriting on the wall & stop worrying about EVs & start building the stuff that sells. Of course this is assuming they want to stay in business. I’ve never been a Ford fan but have to admit they’ve built some interesting & succesful vehicles in the past. None of them were EVs,even tho some of those had interesting performance traits.
