Range is said to be 205 mi (330 km), higher than the original estimate. This price is for the basic truck. The SUV configuration is expected to be $5000 more.

Why own a car if it can't do a round-trip weekend excursion or haul a bit of furniture?

The overall point I’m getting here is that yes, that’s a fine expectation to have. But do you really need a King Ranch Super Duty just to go to the airport twice a year?

    That's a false dichotomy.

    I've been driving an S10 for decades. Yeah, it's a little bit 20th century, it makes 18mpg out of a large, slow, primitive V6. It's great for small truck missions, it's reasonable for long hauls, and I can expect to go THIS far on THIS much gas.
