Ford reveals details about a 30k EV truck

[DeluxeStang]

A few more details

- No trim levels
- Unheard of aero for a truck, active aero could be a thing but not confirmed.
- The first truly modular platform a brand has made, so it can underpin a ton of vehicles, including cars.
- Customization will be a factor.

So I'm guessing it'll be like a Slate truck, but actually good lol. Like a longer range, a lot more standard features than the slate, but like the slate, you'll have a ton of accessories you can buy from Ford, that's my guess.

Yeah the design under the black tarp to the right. You can see the rake of the windshield/A-pillar, some of the roof, and the rough height of the vehicle. Not much to go on, but at least it's something lol.

That could be another product they're working on, but Ford trademarked the ranchero name for an EV truck, so if Ford's planning to bring the ranchero back, and planning to come out with a lifestyle truck that appeals to younger buyers which seems to be the plan, making it almost a coupe style truck would be kinda badass.

I’m for this. Bring on the other known names.

@AZ_Ryan ..... you say - "I love how the people that don't believe in climate change or environmental protections are suddenly worried about the environment in China when the subject of EVs comes up." ..... I'm not worried about the destruction of China's environment as they are doing that to themselves. I do think it's super hypocritical that so called environmentalists buy EVs that the manufacture, use of and eventual disposal of, are responsible for far more environmental damage that ICE vehicles , 6 times more according to the president of Toyota and most of the environmental damage is happening in poor, defenseless third world countries out of the sight of virtual signaling leftists. I can't talk - and neither can you - we drive Mustangs. My motto is "thank the greenies for driving EVs - more gas for me".

Well most of the environmental harm caused by creative EVs comes from mining for rare earth materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel. The new EV battery tech Ford's putting in these affordable EVs doesn't have any cobalt, I also believe it doesn't have any lithium. Newer EV battery tech has been gradually reducing the amount of rare earth metals needed for their construction.

Yeah, I am to. To be fair, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, that shape under the tarp could be something like one of the new sedans/hatchbacks Ford is working on. But it's in the same room as the truck in the vid, and the images of the truck are so close up I can't tell how big or tall it is.

That could be the truck and they covered it back up, or it could be another design, but either way, it's cool seeing Ford working on lower slung models.
