At least not at the low price their are advertising.
If Ford ends up actually making an EV Bronco, the Scout is toast.
I don’t necessarily disagree but the factory is being built (slowly).
Why would you say that? Some believe the extended range vehicles will be more desirable in America than regular EVs? Ram has the Ram Rev coming out this year (700 miles!)
But Ford sucks these days. Failure after failure. I wouldn't trust them with another EV after the Lightening failures?
Most people don't tow with EVs, but at least with a gas option you wouldn't get stuck in the middle of no where or unable to finish a trip because no chargers?
Because the REV was an afterthought and quickly added in a few months prior to the reveal.
The Ram Rev looks like a really amazing truck, coming out later this year. Like the Scout (they have both a sole EV and EV plus gas generator), and Ford has sucked since the Great Recession. The stock price has been stuck between $12-14 for like 20 years because they suck so much.
The number of people who need to tow long distances is small, likely < 25% of truck buyers.
On paper RAM EREV looks very capable, but personally I am skeptical given that every EV Stellantis has delivered to the US market have been years late and complete garbage (Charger, Recon, 500e, or pure vaporware - ahem Circuit EV). If they do manage to get it out, I expect like every other Stellantis EV it will be too expensive and sell terribly, get big discounts and then get discontinued. But maybe not. With Marchionne and Tavares both gone, they may finally have a change of heart.
