Because Maverick moved up in price and majority of buyers don't want EVs yet.  Think original Ranger.

Which automaker is owned or controlled by the government?

Except its still a BEV......

What would be the actual point with having the Super Duty, F-150, Ranger, Maverick and the CE1 pickup covering the market already? Why have a cheap ICE vehicle stealing sales from your cheap EV that is supposed to make people buy EVs?    I think its just a place holder and its more likely that its going to be some sort of SUV/CUV built there instead....   The Expedition and Navigator come from a "truck" plant 😛   With all the changes, the one thing that also popped into my head with all this going on-what is going to happen with the Mach E and Cuautitlán Assembly? I can see the Mach E migrating to the CE1 platform by the end of the decade and why build it in Mexico (which was primarily for EU sales) when it is gonna be hit with Tariffs when they can make a variant of it at Louisville. EU production could be picked up in market, if there is a demand for it?

Sounds to me like they're building a small truck based in part on CE1 making it smaller and cheaper than Maverick.  They could also be moving next gen Maverick there as well freeing up Hermosillo for utilities.

So b is my point.

I still think T3 is an important product longer term, but I understand wanting to focus on more affordable EVs.   The new gas truck is a bit of a head scratcher.  I'll start a new topic on that one.

Oh I know, I wanted to see the T3 just to get an idea of the design direction and I wanted to see the 3 row EV just to see how bad it was lol.

How much can rear seat pockets conceivably cost to manufacture? They're just a patch of fabric.

This sounds like a more practical solution for trucks than BEV (at least until the technology can catch-up).
