Ford Motor unveiled Tuesday a custom truck that combines its past with its future electrification plans, including its highly anticipated F-150 Lightning pickup in 2022.
The “all-electric Ford F-100 Eluminator concept truck” features the retro-styling of a 1978 F-100 pickup with electric motors and batteries from the automaker’s 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition. Its interior controls and screens also resemble the Mach-E electric crossover.
“Our F-100 Eluminator concept is a preview of how we’re supporting customers as they go all-electric and embrace zero-tailpipe emissions performance, even for our heritage vehicles,” Ford global director of accessories and licensing Eric Cin said in a release.
The custom pickup also provides some hype for the automaker, as it prepares to launch its electric F-150 Lightning pickup during the first half of next year. Many view the pickup as a barometer for whether pickup truck customers — which dominate annual U.S. sales charts — are ready to switch to electric vehicles.
I like the ‘retro’ styling!
If you can’t pull or haul anything – it’s only a show ‘car’!
If you can only drive a couple hundred miles before a lengthy recharge cycle – it’s not even useful for transportation!
Tin can & a Board & you gotta FORD !!!!!
Build us a truck that doesn’t cost more than a year’s income.
Not that Ugly thing !!!! MAKE New designs
an electric vehicle leaves you at the mercy of the power companies no electricity no driving! lets not even think about the internet connection which the government can access!
