"With the compact maneuverability of an SUV and the capability of a truck, it’s built for the urban jungle, weekend escapes and you."

I don't think this will be an electric truck but looks like a direct competitor for the weekend warriors.

More details coming June 8th...

They’re resurrecting this as a pickup

Rivian R1T R1S Ford Maverick - Another New Ford Truck 1622754983252


Not sure what Ford is thinking with these names. I like the e-Tech, but it ain’t a Mustang.

My first and third cars were the Chevy version of the Maverick - the Monza. Lots of great high school and college memories in those cars.

This is exciting. I feel like we need more competition in the small truck space generally, and would love for it to be an EV as well. The form factor of the R1T is definitely more appealing to me than the F150 lightning.

I would be floored if it were an EV.

If it were an EV they would've announced that in the teaser.

Weird that Ford didn't offer the "base" hybrid powertrain in AWD.
Its derived from the Escape which does offer an AWD hybrid model.

I mean you have to sacrifice nearly 50% of fuel efficiency to get AWD ?

No AWD/4x4 with Hybrid powertrain? No 360 camera? No ventilated seats? No Sync 4?

Those are big misses, imo.

You must admit, Ford is executing pretty well. My stock has doubled!
