When Leaf came out with a $99 lease many years ago it sold like crazy even with limited range.  Never u deresti ate cheap.

I tried to watch the video a few days ago on You Tube via my Roku box...QR codes trying to sell various items kept popping up and I shut it off....

The Lincoln Nautilus uses the 2.0 EB for their hybrid.  So I wouldn't exclude turbo engines for the F150 EERV.

I’m doubting the report about Super Duty EREV using the coyote engine. The 6.8 V8 would be a much more cost effective engine than a 32 valve DOHC motor. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next gen F150 drops the coyote for an enhanced 6.8. 

I would expect a non-turbo engine for the EREV.  Turbos are less efficient under heavier load, and the engine would typically be running under heavier load to charge the battery, so you'll want something that is efficient at higher load.  I think a small diesel would be a perfect choice, but I don't know that is really feasible with emissions regs.  Plus, Ford doesn't have a small diesel, so they'd have to build one.  Not gonna happen.

Just crazy that they're letting F-series slip at this point.   I'd say this does point to a more radical/truly all new sort of changeover, and not just the new front/rear end, same cab "all new" approach we've seen since the 2015 model.

It’s more like selling a vehicle with a 7 gallon fuel tank with 1/8” filler hole and wondering why people are hesitant to buy what is otherwise a great vehicle.

We'll just have to wait and see.  I think it will use more of ce1 than you think.

Original ranger was 25" shorter and 6" narrower than Maverick.  And it was perfectly fine size wise as a cheap starter vehicle.  So it would be smaller than Maverick leaving Maverick as a step up in both size and cost and capability. Or it replaces Maverick depending on size.  

I’m curious about which engine Ford will use for this F-150 EREV. Ram went with the 3.6 Pentastar V6 (non-turbo) for their EREV. Ford is supposedly using the Coyote V8 (also non-turbo) for the Super Duty EREV.    I doubt they would use the same Coyote as the Super Duty. That leaves the 2.7 or 3.5 Ecoboost as options. Or maybe they resurrect the 3.3 V6 and follow Ram’s lead?
