Ford seems to be refocusing it’s #EV efforts towards smaller, less expensive EVs with cheaper battery technology in an effort to stay relavent given the low cost EVs coming out of China. This is in contrast with GMs efforts which seem to lean towards larger SUVs and trucks.

    Yeah but that’s going the other direction, like how the Honda Ridgeline is based on the pilot. And it makes the truck worse for the same reason cars with truck chassis are worse.

    Now if people would be willing to buy passenger cars and let trucks be trucks we wouldn’t have this problem.

        I’d love me a ute but Americans don’t buy trucks for utility, they buy it because they’ve been taught to hate station wagons and minivans
