[Dude]

Read a few articles on this truck, if it pans out like the articles say, this may be a vehicle I purchase for in town use

That thing in SUV form looks to me like a Bronco II. The dash in that thing is uguly.

Reminds me of the Bollinger B1 and B2 that never got off the ground when the company switched it's focus to commercial vehicles m only

Bummer

I might be missing something…..but why are like 90% of the accessories shown tailored towards “offroad” when this thing is only offered in FWD with literally nothing else that that would equip this thing go off the pavement?

Does it not also seem stupid expensive to anyone else? Even if it hit the market TODAY at 20k (and that’s with the tax credit mind you), it’s way too barebones for 20k. You don’t even get power windows for gods sake

 

[Dude]

Range is too short for off-road

Too many electric options = Less range due to use and added weight. And besides, vehicles these days have swung way too far into the tech and infotainment area leading to distraction and more service complications. I don't even use half of the stuff my BB has.

I'm good with the basics, including wind up windows, like my 2006 F150.... Easy to fix!

Not wanting to start a flame war, just an opinion.

I’d agree with the potential range justification except after cutting literally everything that could possibly be cut in the electronics department it still only has a pathetic 150 miles of range. Would it have killed them to keep in speakers? Again, 20 thousand dollars

Got me there, I do like my tunes while I drive.

We're lucky up here to see a basic EV for anything under $40k these days, and yes the range is definately a draw back. Nothing in the truck market for near that cheap here right now.

I hope this come to fruition. There needs to be cheaper option both gas cars and ev for the masses.
I could go on a rant by this is my second post and I don’t want to get banned lol

While I’m really not interested in EV’s, this thing is intriguing. I like that it’s not a crew cab so it can’t be the family/friends “bus” and it has a decent size bed. I think it might be a great "around town” daily "do your crap" hauler that doesn’t need frills and is cheap enough to use like a truck not a limo.
EDIT: I’d really be “in” if it was ICE — 2.0L 4-banger like the Sport has.

 

[golfmk6]

Kinda bummed the maverick has slowly crept up in price from the 21k it started off with. Just feel bad for those struggling

 

[Nickadeamus]

Hell No!

This is a cheap $27,000 EV only drops down to around $20,000 if you can get government money because it is a EV. If our government is still giving out money for EV's

LOL!

It has cup holders in its frunk for your drinks when you are wrenching on you truck. Wrenching on what? It is a trunk, nothing to wrench on. You took out the engine. This is just a toy for some nerd who don't do mechanical stuff except keyboards.

For $20,000 I can buy a Side X Side that get way better miles on gas and I really can wrench on it
