You must mean the Ranger.
Yes, I think that would be a better application for an EV instead of the full-size trucks. Ford Rangers don't have a very robust engine anyway, so who would tell the difference?
They do sell a non-plug in hybrid version of the Maverick.
As an example of truck use from my personal life. I had a 4-cyl stick shift pickup in most of my 20's and 30's and it was fine for me then because my pickup chores were both infrequent and light, especially in my 20's while I was slowing getting a BS in computer science while working full time. In other words, at that time in my life an EV pickup would have met my needs.
But since I turned about 40 my pickup chores have become more frequent and heavier loads because I've taken on more responsibilities for extended family and the church. Thus, when it was time to replace my truck I got a mid-sized one. I wouldn't get an EV truck today even though my wife and I get a lot of use out of our EV car (we're obviously not EV haters). The EV car is practical for us, but an EV truck would be impractical for us.
That said, the only reason the EV car is practical for us is because we're married and need two cars anyway. The 2nd car is the ICE pickup as a fallback in case we one day decide to go on a long trip that has few chargers, or if the Dims have their way on making power less dependable and more costly, etc. I wouldn't get an EV car or truck if I was single and needed just one car.
“Ford Rangers don’t have a very robust engine anyway, so who would tell the difference?”
EV’s have a LOT of torque so everyone will notice the difference.
No, the actually have a truck called the Maverick. Based on the Escape chassis, and drivetrain. There is an electric version, but as far as I know, it’s a hybrid with a gas motor to help get you there. I could be wrong.
Were it me buying the Maverick, I’d opt for the ordinary 2.0 L turbo 4, as it’s the highest horsepower of all the offerings and it’s a proven engine.
