#2I don't think ford will be able to build enough to meet demand. And ford dealers are going to price gouge the crap out of buyers. I have a friend of a friend who is a ford dealer and they are charging quite a bit over for regular F150's because of the chip shortage.

#4I guess the fact that's it's electric is a good step. But it seems insane to me that we don't do more to discourage massive consumption of what should be utility vehicles. I'm willing to be 80% of people buying an f150 or similar never have been and never will be building contractors or lumberjacks.

#5The perfect vehicle to let everyone think I have a complex about the size of my penis.

#6I hope the ability to use your EV battery to backup your house power becomes an expected capability in the future. Glad Ford included it. Too bad Tesla backed away from it, i’m guessing due to their powerwall business.

#7I'm sure this image is heavily photoshopped, but it looks like they're trying to make a center console that's half touch screen, half physical controls. I wonder what that will look like in reality.

#8It's great to see the best selling vehicle in the US be zero emissions. It's wonderful.
But this truck will be very heavy, very tall, and very fast. Drivers are already the leading killers of children, and more and more people are being killed while walking and cycling.
I'm very worried about the effect of making this vehicle even faster and heavier. Hopefully reduced deaths from pollution offset this.

#9Folks I know that have owned Ford vehicles in the past few years have done nothing but complain about issues with electrical subsystem and accessory breakdown. I'd be very wary of buying a Ford period, much less one that relies entirely on electricity to move.
Not FUD, as I have no dog in the fight and personally don't care if anyone else buys one, but its a make of automobile I avoid.

I've never been one of those things, but they're still useful. I had an F150 for a while that I only used to transport things like mulch or helping friends move or moving myself.
I still have an old Ranger that I use for those purposes today.
It seems insane to assume you can be the judge of what's "useful" or "utility".
