I think an EREV is perfect for the weekend warrior campers.  We camp quite a bit, and every weekend, all of the state parks in MO are PACKED with campers.  These people are driving 100 miles +/- for the weekend.  You plug in at home, pull your camper 100 miles to the campground, using a couple gallons of fuel, plug in and charge at the campsite, then drive 100 miles back home.  You've used $20 worth of fuel for the weekend.  During the week, you plug your truck in at night and commute to work without using a drop of fuel.  I mean, I burn 30 gallons of diesel for a 240 mile round trip to the campground.  I would love to have something like this!  If there are some minor drawbacks for the once a year cross-country trip, it would be worth it.   Now, our needs are changing as we transition from weekend warriors to more long-distance travel since my wife has retired, but if they can make this work out to get similar fuel economy to a straight gasser on long trips, I would be all over this for our next tow rig.  I know that's likely a big IF, but I'm an optimistic person!  

I think the use case for this truck is urban usage. I can see contractors using it to haul a Bob Cat skid loader for short distances between job sites. That makes sense.   Long distance driving even without a trailer will result in disappointing MPGs (the opposite of being green). An F-150 Powerboost or Ecoboost  is a far more sensible solution.    I predict EREV trucks are only going to sell in low numbers comparable to full size BEV trucks. 

Maybe it won't get used at all. Skyline was never used. Remember the "Lincoln Motor Company" trademark (copyright)? They don't use that anymore. I couldn't find any reference to Quiet Flight on their website, either. Skylands may be referring to the Skylands region of New Jersey.

Interesting name. Not sure it would be the name I would've used for a rugged Lincoln trim but at least we're getting something. 

It’s probably a way to reconcile Lincoln’s very elegant and airy (no pun intended) style with offroading/softroading. Ironically, I think Everest would be a good name to use for this.

BTW, when I installed my Generac I had one of the local dealers come out and check a couple of minor issues and he said that if it were him he would have recommended a 20kw unit for my house. His logic was that there is not enough of a price difference between a 14kw and 20kw unit to justify not going with the larger unit. From what I saw a year ago there was still a pretty significant price difference. My total cost for the 14kw unit was less than $6k. I did most of the installation myself. The only things I hired out were the heavy gage wiring between the transfer switch box and the utility company's meter box and from the transfer switch to the breaker panel in the basement which I paid $600 for the electrician's labor. I also paid a private inspector $80 to certify the installation. The remained of the cost was in materials (generator, transfer switch, wire, conduit and concrete for the mounting pad). That same dealer installed a 22kw unit for one of my neighbors after I did mine and he paid $10k installed price for his. Had I bought mine from that same dealer and had him install it I suppose I might have been a lot closer to $10k.   Hey, the power just came back on at 11:35 AM on 7/6/26 and the generator finally shut itself down after almost four days. Woopee!    Unfortunately, there are more storms predicted for this evening so I have no doubt it will be running again before long.

People have the attention span of a nat so in the grand scheme of things this really isn't much of anything. I don't think 90% of the car buying public actually give a shit. 

Timberline sounds like a better name to use on Lincoln’s. Too bad ford already used it on the Explorer.   I wonder if ford’s marketing department has anyone with kids in it? skylands makes me think of the skylanders toys/games. Just like blue cruise makes me think of blues clues.

Haha, I'm messing with ya.   We can't give final judgment until we fully see the thing.

I also wonder how they apply something like that to something more sleek like Aviator and Nautilus.....Navigator makes some sense.
