Opinion: Personally I’m not too into the pickup segment let alone an electric Santa Cruz but hey, something new! We’ll see how it shakes out.
Every EV tryin’ to be under $50k and above 300 mile range. Good fuckin’ luck, I’m getting tired of these promises.
But why would you object to that target? If they could deliver, they have a vehicle similar in cost to what many people pay and with sufficient range to overcome most people’s range anxiety.
I more object to them setting the target with “or”, rather than “and”
Because it’s a bold faced lie that gets them a bump in stock price.
This is just as ugly as the Hyundai Santa Cruz.
Another Minivan missing part of its roof. For fuck sakes car makers, electric Ford ranger Chevy S10 sized vehicle. For a reasonable price. The Maverick proves that people want and will buy pickups that size.
Can’t. EPA and safety regs say you can’t.
If Ford made regular cab 6’ bed maverick with a manual I’d be all over it. Nobody makes a truly small pickup with a 6’ bed anymore. In the US at least. I miss my Comanche.
They could if they didn’t insist on making every truck a four door
They have to make every one the same config, its a unibody not a body on frame design. More in common with a civic than a ranger.
I kinda like the look of the Santa Cruz though. My boss has one and its a handsome looking ute. The typical angry, squared truck that Ford/Chevy/Dodge make is kinda tired.
But even more useless!
I understand trying to make electric cars different but at least make it look decent my god. I don’t understand how this goes through everyone it does and they think “Yeah, this looks like a great everyday car someone will drive”
It’s designed for the target demographic.
People that want to tail gate you with their oversized vehicle blocking everything that their lights don’t blind.
I like the look of it. Reminds me of a Santa Cruz.
Would love a truck like that, but damn, shits too expensive. Ive been priced out of new cars in that category.
I also think that’s way too expensive and wonder how people afford those, but apparently they do. I haven’t even looked at pickups and decades, but the list price way back then is still more than I’d pay now.
Man back then a base truck was 20 grand. Or a well equipped sedan for similar price.

Is it the truckbed? Tell me its the truckbed. It’s the truckbed isn’t it.

As long as they look like this, Rivian or Cybertruck I’m sticking with my Diesel Navara.
Size-wise it looks perfect. I also like the styling, but no chance in hell it’s going to hit that price point unless they are essentially giving these away to try to gain marketshare. Of course if that is what they are doing, it is a dangerous game which could cost them the entire company.
