Ford needs to quit pouting

Well…….

I agree. This one of the best cheap EV designs I’ve seen. I really like this. 

Is it really needed? No. But seeing as this is meant to be this super durable ranger designed to be subjected to heavier abuse, everything should be considered within reason.

And the other thing is the wider track Raptor and SD versions use F150 swing arms at the front. Honestly, uprating brakes to F150 is probably enough but yeah, a more durable vehicle for sure. The big plus is that Ranger only takes a month or so from order while a small truck takes nearly a year.

Plus, you left off torque.  That's where both EB's shine. 2.7EB 400 ft/lb 5.0 410 ft/lb 3.5EB 500 ft/lb   If I'm getting the same MPG, I'd rather have the higher torque.

Nissan's biggest problem is the poor reputation of the reliability of its CVT transmission used on FWD cars and crossovers. Nissan lacks the reliability reputation of Toyota and Honda. 

Power utilities here are assisting data centers and factories with planning, and cost, of large scale battery backup systems and solar. It’s cheaper to help there than invest in more capacity. 

I doubt F-250 transmission would be needed unless Ford goes crazy with Super Duty Ranger engine.  The 10R80 has plenty of capacity to handle whatever engine is likely to be used.  Anything is possible but I don’t see Ford using 10R100 or 10R140.   Because of Super Duty Ranger heavier weight, both GVWR and GCWR, I think it’s possible Ford may use F-250 brakes.  With the 8-lug hubs and 18-inch wheels, it would seem possible to use the larger rotors and calipers.  Weight rating is about the same as F-250 so SD Ranger needs much greater stopping power.
