    “The midsize pickup will be the first to launch on Ford’s new Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) platform”

    So, it won’t be a real truck. Basically a glorified sport cute missing some roof.

        They stated EV Maverick is dead. This supposedly is sized more like the Ranger.

          Dammit!

          I want one no bigger than the Maverick. Heck, if it just had whatever they called the storage space behind the front seats that was less than a whole second row I would consider it despite being a Ford!

          Small and short pickup type utility vehicles need to come back as EVs. Something to haul around stuff you wouldn’t want in a hatchback or minivan, but comparable in engine power and how they drive.

            I love my Maverick, was hoping an EV would come but for some stupid reason they are using a new platform for it
