That's according to a Ford president who was quoted saying "
While all other electric pickups are competing for lifestyle customers, the all-electric F-150 is designed and engineered for hard-working customers that need a truck to do a job,” in an
interview with CNBC.
Some key points from the CNBC post:
- Ford plans to differentiate its upcoming all-electric F-150 from expected pickups by Tesla and GM by retaining the vehicle’s focus on work rather than recreation.
- The F-150 is critical to Ford’s profitability as part of its F-Series pickups that generated about $42 billion in revenue last year.
- Ford’s F-Series has been America’s bestselling pickup for 43 years and the nation’s top-selling vehicle for 38 years.
