Too bad the new Scout truck is electric…

It’s damn good looking.   

I don’t know who ever thought electric trucks were a good idea.   Not full size anyway.

I was in the market for something and googled it when I first half assely saw a commercial for it.  I was real disappointed when I saw it was an EV then proceeded to g=buy a big Bronco with a gas powered V6...suck it, Scout

The Ford CEO, Jim Farley, admitted that full size trucks will not work as EVs. He said they need such large batteries that their weight is too great to get any realistically useful range when used as an actual truck. The huge battery packs also drove the cost up too much.

Like everything else surrounding EVs, their success in the market is dependent on some as yet not invented battery technology.

Must be why I’ve never seen any of those mythical Tesla semis anywhere.

I’d drive one..I need to sell something anyways..currently have 4 vehicles and a Golf cart..golf cart is worth more than 2 of the 4.

Will the Scout power my house like my Sons Ford Lightning will? Well his house anyways..since he has the ability to do it..

They best get to retrofitting. Toyota is showing the way was always hybrid, not full EV.

LOL, I’m right there with you..my 22yr old 2003 EZGO ST-350 is worth more than two of the four vehicles I own, a ‘97 F-150, and a 2013 BMW X3.

I’ve got a 2021 F-150 crew cab long bed that’s V-6 and Hybrid. 20+ mpg. Plenty of power when not towing. Love it.
