  1. Thought the journalist make a couple of major mistakes. First, assuming a vehicle is "so popular" because its sold out. Go try buy a new diesel powered Ford Everest, not even released yet, and you'll find yourself on a 12 month waiting list. Just about every vehicle is sold out at present, due to manufacturing delays rather than large buyer demand. And his mileage when towing was in practice way out. Actual road tests with one driver, unload truck, unloaded van got 80 miles between charges. And that was on flat roads. So load up the truck, the van, tow up some decent hills, don't let the battery get below 25% charge because you need to maintain a 'safety margin', scarcity of recharge points in the country ..... and basically its a completely useless tow vehicle.

  2. If Ford is going full electric why did they just develop and release a new Ford Ranger and Everest V6 diesel SUV in Australia. There is a massive waiting time on delivery, months.
