Electric F150 Lightning EV to be revealed May 19

[LoneStar]

I think Ford will draw distinction for the F-150 EV by amplifying (pun intended) the ProPower Onboard setup recently introduced on the mild hybrid and ICE trucks. I'm expecting this will have equal or better the 7.2kW power sourcing and support for vehicle-to-vehicle or recreational e-toys.

This is definitely one area that Rivian could of, and should of provided more of. Having a couple of 120V outlets is nice but not something that can provide backup emergency power in desperate times.

Out of curiosity,

What would it take for any of you to switch from Rivian to Ford tonight?

I'm all in on the R1S, would not happen for me.

That being said, I hope Ford does well with this, the more players and competition the better it is for everyone.

It'd help to not have a light bar that looks like someone stick it on the front of a truck like a stick-on mustache.

Realistically? Probably nothing. The only thing that I don't like about the Rivian is I don't know when I'll be able to get mine other than sometime between 2022 and.... 2025?

I simply put some information I could remember off the top of my head from the article that was no longer visible. Nothing more. We are R1S preorder holders for a reason.

*Edit - We are not in the market for a truck. If I switched to an electric truck of any kind I'd have to find a new place to park it.

Huge fan of the frunk....

Way more useful for those of us who are vertically challenged then the tub design Rivian has.

Not interested in an F-150, though will be watching tonight and hoping they sway some existing ICE owners to move electric.
