Ford Ranger Lightning!

[dtech]

Tighter ICE emissions regs, the strategy in the US is apparently is not to ban the sale of ICE (probably because of court challenges) but to effect tighter regs that will become prohibitively difficult to meet. It appears to be following what CARB is doing.

I second that motion. Isn’t this the Repo dude with the $2000 payment on his soon to be repossessed Lightening?

I think he's on the perfect glide scope to getting banned

maybe a friendly pool on the number of posts before they join The Dancing Banana Club

Don't try towing anything with a Ranger Lightning if they are anything like the F150 lightning. The F150 only has a range of about 100 miles when towing.

The whole push for all electric vehicles is ridiculous since our current power grid can't handle it. Look at California and some of the brownouts due to people trying to charge their vehicles at the same time.

you realize one or two here won't like this to quote private jet flyer Al Gore " Inconvenient Truth "

All seriousness this must be the purpose of the T3 platform. This and the electric Bronco. They already were hyping developing T1 as a replacement for the 150 Lightning in 2025.

Wow I still would like a Hybrid Ranger. My guess is upwards of $50,000 for the NA Electric Ranger.

Yep... It would need to be a scab for me, but I'd consider a lightning ranger. I don't tow that much and when I do it's only a small trailer w/UTV, but I'd need 250 mile range for a lightning. I'd much more like a PHEV, with like 50mile electric range, min.

You forgot about the 5,000% markup

$35000.. Batteries not included. Some assembly required.

Give me a PHEV any day with the ranger over Pure EV. Killer Combo. Something like Prime RAV4.... Common Ford and VW lets see this partnership bear some fruit.

Getting ready to mod my E Ranger ...

You really want Ford caught up in a VW scandal? Bad enough VW slaughtered any chance of Diesel trying to return to the non-HD market in the US.

Only US $35,000 plus destination Fee, taxes, etc?!

The key phrase is, "Farley and his team are not sharing details..."

I wish Ford would keep an eye on what Toyota has been doing. They have been doing "electric" vehicles successfully for a long time and even they are moving away from "all-electric".
They have 14 electric vehicles now available that are mostly hybrids.

Even they know all electric isn't the answer.

Give us hybrid vehicles. At least for commuting we would be using battery only.... but for towing and long trips, we would have the safety and security of the ICE behind us.
