I just watched the TFLtruck report on this on Youtube and am sold. This thing at $42,000 MSRP with destination without counting any tax incentives is amazing. I don't care how stripped the content on the commercial truck is, it will have that 230 mile range, the dual motor AWD, and 775 ft-lbs of torque, under 5 secs 0-60, in a crew cab pickup is a steal. If the contractor also has all those power inverters standard then even better. It might lease for almost nothing, or ultimately sell for about $30,000 after tax credits and normal Ford discounts.

Will it outsell normal F150's? No way. Once the 200,000 tax credits are used up even less. Between this and the Mach E, that will probably happen by the end of 2022. But even if it ends up being 15% of f150 sales how is that not a success? That's a bigger take rate than EVs overall.
