Glad you guys were prepared. I’m fairly sure our power supplies in the USA are going to be less and less reliable in the future. This is because of the intermittent nature of renewable energy and the ever increasing demands on our power grids (data centers, EV charging etc).    I want a Ford pickup with Pro Power onboard to power my essentials. This will be my future backup plan. It’s much better than a portable generator but certainly not as robust as a whole house standby generator.

The RAM REV is a half-ton, and it won't be pulling my 12k lb fifth wheel (some people try it with a half ton, but it's a very bad idea).  And no worries, I won't be buying a RAM, so no need to try the RAM REV.   I'm at about 10 MPG towing my fiver with my diesel (12 if I run 58-60 instead of 68-70).  I would be happy with 8 MPG towing with a gas EREV in a Super Duty.  I'm thinking a 5.0L will be the likely candidate for an EREV Super Duty.   But, I may never find out how it tows a fifth wheel.  We're planning to downsize to a truck camper while upsizing our truck (to an F550) in the next 8-10 months.  I'm a bit more skeptical of an EREV making it's way into an F550 in the next 5-10 years, though having the extra battery bank would be awesome when boondocking.

I’m assuming at 8 MPG for your diesel it is a heavy camper trailer. Your highway EV range  with that trailer driving the RAM REV is likely going to be 40-50ish miles at best.    It’s good to be optimistic, but it would be a good idea to talk your RAM dealer into letting you try pulling your camper to your campsite before you buy. If it is a good experience for you, then I will take back everything I have said and happily eat a plate of crow. 

Toyota sales are strong as as a Ford shareholder and fan of Ford, I am embarrassed...

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.
