Need to Tow 1,000,000 pounds? Ford F-150 EV can!
Over 1,250,000 pounds total! Holy Cow!! I have to be honest, I wasn’t sure how earnest Ford’s EV plans were. I feared they may be taking a wait and see approach. However, if they are attempting to warm loyal F-150 buyers to the idea of an all-electric truck, perhaps I was wrong. What a feat! Tesla has demonstrated a Model X SUV pulling over 300,000 pounds in the past, and now Ford has to have earned some kind of record with this performance. Are we about to be see the availability of standard passenger vehicles that have towing capabilities that put diesel semi-trucks to shame? I can’t wait to find out! In the meantime, I’ll take my F-150 EV in Bullitt Green please!
Press Release:
DEARBORN, July 23, 2019 – As America’s truck leader, we prefer to let our actions speak louder than words.
Watch as Linda Zhang, chief engineer of the Ford F-150, shows the capability of a prototype all-electric F-150 by towing 10 double-decker rail cars and 42 2019-model year F-150s, weighing more than 1 million pounds.1
Ford has confirmed it will bring an all-electric F-150 to market. This will be in addition to the all-new F-150 Hybrid that goes on sale next year. Both electrified models will have the toughness, capability and innovation that F-150 customers have come to expect.
That’s Built Ford Tough.
