TT, Thx, interesting that these guys have never encountered one of these before...then again they get a lot of commercial/farm equipment. And a lot of it in the "rode hard, put away wet" class-including high mileage foreign vehicles that I assume the current owners cannot afford taking to the dealer😎
I think the 5.0 V8 is a better V8 offering in a light duty versus the 7.3 which seems much more focused to heavy duty work versus day to day performance. Ford offers the Powerboost if you really need the ultimate in towing capacity. Basically if the 5.0 isn't V8 enough you're likely overworking an F-150 anyhow.
EVs will have to prove their worth to earn mass adoption- The current generation are throwaways with an inadequate charging network and often have no GHG reduction advantage over IC vehicles running on renewable fuels.
The unfortunate fact is that you can't force people to buy something they don't trust or "want"
Unless they figure out a way to market EVs to appeal to people and remove most of the preconceived notions people have about them, its going to be a struggle to sell them or even make money off them.
