This is a concern I've voiced for some time. My best guess? It'll have a lower cost of ownership than either of them by a considerable margin, and it'll be more lifestyle oriented.    Significantly faster than either of them, with solid chassis tuning and a really low center of gravity, then you have RWD. It sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun to drive, which isn't how I'd describe a maverick or ranger.    I also expect the styling to be a bit more bold. Over on the maverick forums, they weren't overly fond of the sketches I showed, especially that blue one. So if it's this ute with areo slick styling, I think a lot of maverick owners will pass on it in favor of having a more conventional looking truck.    It's one of the reasons why I've disagreed with Akirby over the next maverick and the CE1 truck sharing styling. But having all these trucks are getting kinda ridiculous. 

I don't see a lot of overlap with CE1.  It's an EV and the majority of buyers still don't want an EV.  Think of it as an additional powertrain option.   It might also allow Maverick prices to go up some.     No way the Bronco pickup is going to TTP at 50k-75k volume.  Makes no sense to build it anywhere other than MAP.  Based on what ExplorerDude said it sounds like a new platform that could underpin multiple sizes.

Why does this bother you so much? People have opinions. It's illogical to believe that people will support a company taking a beloved product away. remember the McRib or the Coca Cola Classic  

Hello everyone,  My mom and dad have a 2014 Fusion Hybrid.  This things eats 12v batteries like candy.  It must be plugged into a trickle charger when parked otherwise it kills the 12v in 24-48 hours.  It has done this for 5-6 years now. Local Ford dealer has not been able to fix this.  I found some ideas online, and fuse maps, and right now we have the keypad and I think the telematics modem unplugged. No change. Glove box light turns off normally etc   What are some other common causes of this problem? I'd like to fix this thing forever    

I find it amusing that they use the term "blindly"....

2 things that will keep me from trading my Maverick for it: limited range and slow charging. Plus the fact that ever increasing electric rates have taken away much, if not all, of the lower fuel costs that EV vehicles did enjoy. 

Or, Subaotas 

So they are Toybarus

AWD would be great.  My requirements would be it's got to be affordable, has to be built in U.S., and no all electric.  Mache-e is only electric mustang we need.  

I am retired and live in Boston but have house in Maine we have two vehicles, a Model 3 LR and Maverick Lariat.  We put about  10,000 miles per year total.  Depending on the range and towing capacity I would definitely consider trading both vehicles for a Long Range Maverick sized e-truck. I love both the Maverick and the Model 3, a vehicle capturing the best of both would be ideal for me.
