The Silver one they have been teasing is a Platinum.
These are the more attainable versions if you want an everyday truck....
Don't forget EV's typically have brake regen which gives them a big boost in urban range.EV’s are a little different than conventional vehicles. as nearly always the highway economy is much lower than city range. With EV trucks, highway range suffers even more due to aerodynamic loads.
EV’s simply consume ever more power as they do
more work, in a relatively linear fashion. What ever that work might be.
Engines are least efficient when doing very little work, and often efficiency numbers improve with load.
Towing 6000 pounds reduces my MPG by 40%. Despite the total vehicle weight more than doubling. Range goes from 665miles down to just over 400.
However, the very good news is that Ford is rating the range with a payload. Which means they are sandbagging!
I didn’t that I would either. I rented a crew cab pickup with that size bed a few years back. Thing is, if you fold the tailgate down and put a sheet of plywood down, you have ~8ft and it’s usable. Not ideal for construction, but that’s not the task at hand. For most folks who drive trucks unloaded, it’s enough for routine stuff.I don't like the 5'5" bed.
Up to 70 miles towing range
nobody in their right mind who is going to take a giant RV or boat across the US is going to buy this.
Around here, people do regularly tow their boats to the ramp and back. But that's not all they do. They also plan more distant fishing or "outing" trips to the Indian river, Lake Okeechobee, not to mention Key West, the Tennessee river or other distant locations. That's why they purchase capable vehicles. I don't know any boat owners who want to be restricted to Jupiter, Florida and only 10's of miles from home.
Not if you are towing.Give me a break. Jupiter Florida to Key West is 250 miles, that is ONE charging stop for even the low end Lightning. If stopping for ONE 45 minute charge on a 5 hour drive you do, what, twice a year, isn't much. Its even much less when you consider you don't have to stop for GAS every week the other 50 weeks of the year.
You could drive from Jupiter to Key West half a dozen times and you would still spend less time at a "filling station" over the course of a year.
