That truck is hideous in my very humble opinion The front is a little funny, but the rest looks good IMO. Dave Demuro had one that he took up a crazy technical loose rock hill and it crawled on up- it was pretty amazing how it worked, anything less than a fully locked truck would never made it up

The Ford F150 Lightning is coming out this year too.
They have quit the initial sale as its sold out. Some dealers are already trying to raise the price on them outragiously and Ford does not like it. Since they have a long list of potential buyers the dealers are going to give them a chance to buy at much higher prices. The only thing Ford can do is listen to customers and so far is saying that they may cut deliveries to some dealers. It seems like everyone is looking at all available options, including changing out batteries in 5 minutes or less. If there is money to be made they will find a way to do it.

China loves our green insanity since we agree to not use a natural resource they don't have.
We're idiots. Took a long time to get us to Stupidville but we have arrived. And when China does take us over.......Look at all that oil we have saved up......just for them. Good Luck, Bozz

I wonder where china will get the coal for their power plants, for all those electric cars?????????? yep carbon free china burning coal to supply the electricity for their EV cars. yep I wonder how big the battery will be for their new aircraft carriers. We just like china and the rest of the world are along way from getting rid of carbon fuel.

You're all getting your panties in a wad about new technology. Yes, electric vehicles won't be for all. Just like diesels, etc. Remember for a while you will be able to get a $7500 rebate.

We just like china and the rest of the world are along way from getting rid of carbon fuel. You are kind of changing the discussion from electric cars to energy production. China is putting more of its development dollars towards renewable energy. It takes time. Did you know they are planning 150 new nuclear reactors in the next 15 years? They import energy since they don't have the natural resources like some countries do. Of their investment in energy 69% of it is going to renewables like hydro and wind. Like the discussion of electric cars, you really can't look at energy levels and infrastructure today. It will develop as technology and need allows. In the US because it makes people money. In China because its in their best interest with the rest of the world.
