Yes that's a really good idea. We'll have to see how the frunk ends up opening. Would work really well if it opens like the lightning with a front gate, maybe not as good if its just the hood that lifts up like a traditional frunk.
From what I can find, as of 2020, yes it's available across the board for them.
They are emphasising it as a Lightning feature here though: https://www.fleet.ford.ca/
Ford is going to carve out a nice market share of EVs based on their fleet offerings. The Lightning Pro is the low end affordable model and comes with baked in fleet management tech. All your trucks locations, state of charge, maintenance schedule, etc. in one place through an online portal/api...
The range is not great, especially after looking at their Ford pass charging network in Canada. Most of the locations they have are very spread out in my area, and any DC fast chargers on it are mostly just Volkswagen dealerships haha. How do they expect you to drive a 370km range vehicle around...
If they offered a Tacoma plug in hybrid (like the Rav4 Prime) today I would've bought it already, but they're late to the game. When they come out with a hybrid truck, Tesla and others will be building full BEV trucks...
All the way on the east coast.
Have wanted a truck for the winters and being able to move around my motorcycle/large items. My family always had a truck growing up and its so useful, but I haven't been able to justify switching with the base cost and the fuel costs of a truck being so high...
If it went both ways you could use the strain gauge while braking/going downhill to maximize regen without sacrificing safety. Delaying when the trailer brakes are engaged to get that energy back but not so much that the trailer becomes a runaway train.
The idea is if you're off roading (in mud or dirt or snow) then you can perform an extremely tight turn, say around a 90Âş corner that has trees/rocks on both sides, or a 180Âş to head back where you came from. Not very useful but still a cool feature. Glad automakers are pushing the envelop and...
Unfortunately it seems to be out of stock all the time. With any luck they'll fix this supply issue in the next two years. I'm keeping my eye on them next year to try and grab one preemptively since I'll have to rely on CHAdeMO charges quite often...
Seems like 8" ground clearance is the minimum height. Hard to comment on exact height for stepping in but should give you an idea.
If you've never driven a large truck, test drive an F-150 and drive around. It's very manageable once you get used to it but driving in a city or confined roads the...
Unfortunately, at all the super chargers near me at least, you’ll probably have to unhook the trailer, charge, then hook it back up. I’m not planning on hauling many trailers, mostly bed use so not too worried.
Would like to see more superchargers in Atlantic Canada. I often have to drive 300km off into a direction with no superchargers. In the winter I would have serious range anxiety and would need to rely on other/slower chargers. My budget only works for the dual motor but wish I could get the tri...
