A catchy headline, but H2 is not sold or distributed as a "gas." While Hydrogen is in fact the most abundant element in the universe it abhors being on its own and pairs with itself, hence "H2." H2 is cryogenically cooled to -253ºC/-423ºF and stored at about 150 psi, or about the same as propane. Hydrogen does not exist as a free gas naturally, it combines with other elements like Oxygen.     I don't want to be the rperez of FCEVs, but H2 production & transport, and fuel cell efficiency should continue to be developed to a practical state. IMHO, I think H2 fuel cells are a better strategy long term.  

Yea, in that case the passengers can move to the bed of the truck. Will IIHS come up with a test involving that? 😄  

Hmmm. That answers the very rare question: "what if Ford had supplied the vehicles for Demolition Man?".

Crap I forgot that they where using that on my favorite GM product lol 

Or, get a single cab truck and never have to worry about rear seat passengers since there are none....lol

Yea, exactly. That's why them automotive engineers put a lot of effort developing newfangled battery thermal management systems (BTMS). You can bet that Ford hired some of the best engineering talent in that area for its skunkworks operation.    

Ford F-150 Vs. Chevy Silverado 1500 Vs. Ram 1500: Which Pickup Is The Safest? - Autoblog     The Ram 1500 achieved the best overall scoring in the latest IIHS tests, but the Ford F-150 isn’t too far behind, and if you’re willing to look beyond American automakers, Toyota’s Tundra is safer than both. It’s just as well that a new Chevy Silverado is coming soon, because the current one falls far short by modern safety standards. This doesn’t mean the Chevy is inherently unsafe or can’t protect you in a crash, but its scores reveal flaws in the pickup’s design. All three automakers must address the issue of rear-seat safety in the moderate front overlap test. The Tesla Cybertruck and Toyota Tundra show that large pickups can achieve a good outcome for rear passengers in this test, and there’s no reason America’s top 3 pickups should be lagging behind.         We know that a new Silverado is just around the corner, as is a new F-150, so this article won't apply much longer.  

Styling is very buyer dependent, though.  But as pointed out, it sounds like this product is more liked than the 3-rows were.   I'm hopeful that it gets at least/very close to 300 miles in base form to give them a chance.  Going too low will kill them before they get on the road, despite charging advantages     Yeah, I'm over the "just wait, it's coming" for just about everything future product related at Ford.  I know we're almost there, but it's getting old....     I think it depends on the use case for EVs.  For larger SUVs, I think they'd have done fine if they weren't crazy expensive.  The trucks are a different story because of the towing issues.  I hope that long term, Ford is able to take CE1 learnings and apply it to other, larger products.         I would agree that I think the super truck was likely a preview of the T3 Lightning, as it was reported to be closer to the '97-03 "aero" F-150, and I can definitely see elements of that.   That said, it's also entirely likely that they took some design elements from that vehicle and put them on the skunk truck, especially once they moved on from T3.

Except in that photo, they put an insert/solid panel for the window and remove the door trim (and would delete window hardware etc), meaning none of that would affect offering a normal window anyway. Shrug.....I just think it's an odd product choice in today's world.
