From Trucked Up EVs.
As you know, I have been skeptical of the narratives coming out of Ford surrounding the Lightning. Unfortunately, deep in the details of this story are clues that it might be sometime before we see Ford produce another pure EV pickup. There are some other morsels that hint a the direction Ford might be taking in the meantime.
