We already wrote about new 2022 Ford F-150 EV and its possible specs. Now, we are sticking to info that matters, and that is official. The Blue Oval manufacturer announced the all-electric variant for some point in 2022, most likely for mid-2022. It is a battery-electric version with a lifetime cost of ownership. This model will include a large front trunk or “frunk”, which is a new thing in the automotive industry. The 2021 GMC Hummer is in the works too, along with the 2021 Rivian R1T truck.

Moreover, Tesla Cybertruck will be a tough competitor as well. Ford sells over 800,000 F-Series trucks a year, which is impressive.

Official specs are not available yet, but Ford promised towing capacity of more than 12,000 pounds. One thing is certain, the F-150 Hybrid is quicker than Ram 1500 Hybrid.
