    So they directly announced a few features, but nothing people couldn’t have guessed based on what had basically already been said, They did confirm that it was about the same size as a maverick. Most notably they still aren’t saying bed size.

    Their flipbook additionally shows a hairdryer plugged into the bed, so a fairly decent wattage out of an outlet back there.

    They also show and highlighted surf board in the bed. In a maverick footprint with crew cab this is pretty much absolutely impossible without a midgate, so seems like there will be a midgate option. Midgate would go a long way to making it a more practical truck.

        Heh, certainly the tone of their material is toward “pavement princess” usage, but a hair dryer does pull just about as much current as you could expect from a standard outlet, more than many power tools, more than some microwaves. Sure, if they showed a higher end electric welder than that would be more impressive, but no way are they going to take things that far.

        It it can power a hair dryer, it could power a circular saw. Whether it would be suitable to get to work sites that demand a bit more off-road capability… I’m guessing no.

        I can’t blame them too much, they went with the ‘F150 for your professional needs, just electric’ and it didn’t ultimately pan out that well. So they are going more city truck.
