The people I know who own F150s or similar sure as hell do. They need a truck that they can depend on which is why the F150 is a perennial sales leader. It works, and when it doesn't there are 10,000 places in a 20 mile radius that can make it work again, and they're all in competition so they all know they have to do it cheap. Now, make that truck an EV. Boom.
Honestly I'd love to see it though. I think if Ford can make it rock solid, with enough range to get through 1.5 typical workdays, and maybe throw some kind of multi-10s-of-thousands-of-miles powertrain warranty, and toss in some incentives for at home (or at small/medium company HQ) recharging, then they might be able to change the game. Just like they did with aluminum body panels.
