@Elvin They do. But there's no way you'll get 80 miles on electric before the engine needs to start. In my opinion the hybrid defeats the whole purpose of electric truck unless your main use is over the road driving. Then go hybrid.
Having owned and driven all 4 types of vehicles: full, EV, plug-in, hybrid, and range extender. This could work if you were to make it an EV with a range extender so imagine having like a 30 kWh battery and having a super efficient quiet motor to extend the range of the battery.

That would actually be ideal. I’m gonna attempt to make something like this for my lightning. PS. They are making a plug-in hybrid Ford Ranger. Does anyone know if they’re bringing that stateside?
@elvin5848 that would actually be pretty easy for them because obviously they already have the power boost as you’re alluding to. Basically just need a larger battery, larger electric motors, and the ability to charge the vehicle directly which they can essentially do using the same same circuit as the regenerative breaking.
Parks and rec and other local city departments could make good use of these if Ford discounted bulk purchases. Not sure about battery capacity for extended AC use during "short breaks" though.
Actually the A C. usages doesn't really drain the battery that much. Even just 1 kwh is a lot of power use which if used locally you could easily use 50 kwh of power from the 98 kwh battery and have no problem making it back to the shop.
@@evdombrowski1 true but with the price over $50k MSRP fleet buyers are probably going to go with something cheaper. If it was still $39k like originally marketed it’d be a different story.
In 10 years you are going to pay 12000 for new batteries. 10 minutes to fuel with dinosaur juice 13 hours to charge your ev. Time alone is killing any gains you get with this.
And battery technology isn’t getting better year over year so don’t expect any improvements on that new expensive battery. 10 years from now. Because batteries today are the same as 10 years ago.
Replacement battery will probably cost more in $20,000-$3,009 range. But if properly charged will last as much as 200,000-300,000 miles before requiring Replacement.
Uh also zero tail pipe emissions and oil changes. I charge my extended range from 30% to 100% for $13.00. How far are you going on $13? My Jeep wrangler got 16.5 miles to the gallon. Maybe I could go 40 miles. 290 miles of mixed driving and the truck does 12.4 second 1/4 miles.

Very good info. Luv this video. Can’t wait til I get my Pro soon 😊
Great review!!
All I want is a hybrid truck with 80 mile range so I can do all my city driving on electric and long hauls on gas 🙏

Not allowing extended range on the pro model starting at over $50k msrp makes no sense. Just an expensive show boat wanting to play work truck.
They give commercial buyers the 300 mile range battery. Ford just wants private buyers to pay up.
Keep in mind these trucks can't even haul a camper! Let alone anything like a atv in the box without taking a huge gash in your drive range
There’s lot of fleet guys that don’t tow. This will be perfect for contractor-types or service trucks that stay in relatively small radius

@@vr4787 ya I agree on the price. Looked a lot better at $40k, no doubt
Hi do this truck have heat pump ?
Yes

i want one
Could you show under the truck. Looks like it's very low and has no break over clearance.
Only 8-8.5 inch clearance but has very thick skid plates protecting motors and battery.
Lift it, it's still an F150.
Junk
Lol you don’t fish? That will be used by every father that back up to a pond with there kids to fish 🎣
If a man buys an electric truck then he is close to transitioning
That’s pathetic lol
