What differentiates Terra Pickup Truck vs. other EV competitors for you?

Looks - it does not scream EV, EV, EV....

That holds for the Terra and the Traveler. Leaning towards the Traveler though. Might be tempted if it had a 6.5' bed, but honestly I have a great truck anyway.

The Terra is the best looking pickup truck I've ever seen, especially compared to the current EV selections. Also, I think the solid rear axle and mechanical locking differentials set it apart.

Remember the rear locker is standard, which is a great upgrade. However, the front locker will be an add-on, probably part of an off-road package, from what has been published.

The 5.5 bed is required to fit a full crew cab, and keep the vehicle under 20', which is the magic number for parking spaces, garages, ferry and life.

Don't forget rumors of a Ford Superduty EREV:


Too bad the Lightning Switchblade (EV Raptor) is just a technology showcase and not intended to be production.

I'm an engineer in the automotive field, and I can tell you, that's not a rumor.

I really hope these handles, if they make it to production, are removable. I think they are great and will be used a lot, but should be removable if you want to slap a shell on top, either hard shell or something like a softopper, if not that will be a big hit to utility.

in my head they were more well integrated into the corner of the cab area, rather than extending over the bed area. I can agree with you there on its usability with 3rd party accessories. I still appreciate the thoughtfulness of it though.

Hope EV batteries will be anything other than NCM.

Let's push for solid state batteries!

The number 1 driver for me is cost.

Meet's all my use needs in terms of payload, tow rating, etc.

Then, it starts at a price I'm willing to spend on something I'm going to load with manure, throw chains in, drag logs with, hit with other trucks. etc etc.
