Actually no. That’s incorrect because I don’t want a truck. 😀   At personal level I couldn’t care less about what Ford come up with unless it’s a van, and only if one I’d be interested in buying.  However, I do care about Ford as a company and business.  My opinions are based solely on that; except for “right” vans which apparently they are not pursuing.

Good point and yeah, I sad that wrong, short handing my responses is an issue of mine…. CD6 PHEV battery looks like it fills the spare tyre void but yes, it doesn’t affect fuel capacity, I saw Somme of the Ford cut away frame pictures and it shows the battery in the rear compartment floor, I assumed the rest.   The point I was making is that finding enough space for a 100 mile EV range battery in the current CD6 won’t fly with out a major rework. Perhaps Ford has already decided to modify T3 with a range extender instead?

I’m getting old. Completely forgot about the EV lightning and thought we were getting a new sport truck there for a sec 😂

Agree.  And a 2-door would tell us just how serious Ford are about lowest possible price versus talking BS mostly to appease investors.  If Ford truly believe that future BEV acceptance depends on affordability, whatever they show on 11th should clearly reflect needs of budget-minded buyers.  Obviously if they feel 2-door trucks won’t sell in US, that a different matter.   Regarding home charging, I think problem associated with apartment living may be exaggerated.  It is true that charging is a big problem for apartment renters, but they make up a small percentage of new car buyers.  One report shows that over 90% of new cars are purchased by people who live in houses.  Quite a few people live in apartments but many of them either don’t own a car or buy used.  Charging at apartments is a problem that should be addressed, but in itself shouldn’t prevent electrification from proceeding at reasonable rate.  Not sure about accuracy of this data but makes a clear case for apartment charging not being a deal breaker as far as overall EV adoption acceptance.

Looks like it will wear the Jeep badging, it didn’t before.

Agreed, however, investing billions in BOC only to have it sit idle for year(s) is not what I would consider a “smart move”.  We shall see how all of these investments play out; perhaps Ford can “pivot” and utilize BOC for EREV/hybrid production.  

Full Size Ford EV Pickup, Van Pushed Back To 2028 Amid Pivot   According to Automotive News, production of both the next-generation full-size Ford EV pickup and van have been pushed back to 2028, marking yet another delay for both. Originally, the new full-size Ford EV pickup – codenamed Project T3 – was expected to enter production this year, but it has since been pushed back to 2026, 2027, and now, 2028. As for the new full-size Ford EV van, it was previously slated to enter production in 2026, and was reportedly “on track” to meet that date, previously.

Well smart move with weak demand for products like that and I'm guessing stuff that is being learned with the CE1 products will help improve them. 

Refresh of the current Lightning while Ford delays (err “pivots”) T3 yet again: https://fordauthority.com/2025/08/full-size-ford-ev-pickup-van-pushed-back-to-2028-amid-pivot/      

I think a 2-door would have to start at $23k (before tax credits which are going away anyway) with "normal" features (unlike the Slate that comes with nothing) to make it viable in the market.
