Yeah that product description is about as clear as mud (I was having issues with adding that to my reply for some reason)  

That's nice!

I figured I'd make a general thread for model year updates for various products instead of individual ones...   In about time news......2026 Ford Ranger Lineup Gains Power Moonroof Option Next Spring   In good riddance news......2026 Ford Bronco Sport Drops Free Wheeling Trim   2026 Ford Ranger XL Adds Optional FX4 Off-Road Package   2026 Ford Bronco Adds New Dual Top Option (I don't really understand the difference from the old option with this one)    

That was a rumor for a while - don't know what it ended up being.

Patent drawings don't always mean much, but sometimes they do.  I think you hit it by saying it's about as good looking as cab forward can be.     I think the difference here is, though, that they're trying to cover both compact and midsize segments with this product (i.e. EV trucks will be "CE1" and T3 trucks, without a "Ranger" model in the middle) so it seems like they're trying to give it more flexibility than just a Maverick EV.   Plus, not all patent ideas make it to production, so we'll see.     I noticed that too - it's definitely an interesting idea.....the down side to this, though, is that you'd have to build the b-pillars in such a way to "accept" the c-pillar bulkhead, which might make the b-pillar area between the rows ugly with exposed seals......I guess the seals could be on the bulkhead itself and just meet up with the existing plastic at the b-pillars?     I don't know if I'd say they're "rolling in".....sales have been down 50% on the year (not including October yet).....

Isn't the chassis that underpins the USPS Next Gen Postal vehicle a stripped chassis Ford Transit FWD that is available in EV form as well? 

TLDR-50% tariffs on things made in India for USA makes it untenable to do so 

Yeah there is even concerns with other makes of cars like Tesla and other products that use cameras etc on US Military bases

There is a Class A RV that is an EREV: https://www.thorindustries.com/worlds-first-hybrid-class-a-motorhome.   It's coming on a very limited trial basis for 2026.  My concern with it is it's small engine that only allows a top speed of 50 MPH after the battery is depleted.   Thor also has an electric van: https://www.thorindustries.com/innovation-vision-vehicle
