Those design lines look super similar to the new hummer. Looks like they borrowed quite a bit.

They're supposed to have like 350-400 range I think? So 105k for another 50-100 range... hmm I dunno if that is worth it.
It's built on the same platform as the Hummer so it'd make sense that they'd just copy the design as well.

If the picture is accurate of what is revealed today, I believe some of the Avalanche looking features behind the cab are to improve aerodynamics. The windshield is also raked back substantially from most trucks. All these would be to improve the range of pushing a brick through a wall of air with what battery size is possible. If pricing is confirmed in the reveal, I would not change my current direction to order a F-150 Lightning Lariat trim with the ER battery. Then in 3-4 years it will be time to reevaluate what vehicle is best to have going into retirement.
Good point about aero.

For those who thought you may have better luck, it looks like the Silverado is even further out than Ford's current queue.

Couple of leaks/rumors, photo below and availability:

It starts at $40k. First Edition is $105k.

First Edition launches Fall 2023. Every other trim Summer 2024.

Will see if this holds true at the reveal later Today, but it likely makes sense.

Not the biggest fan of the look, but hey, it's 1000% better than a CyberTruck.

[/QUOTIf you squint real hard that kind of looks like a Honda Ridgeline.

It's growing on me. Given the ways thing have gone with SUV's, which truck will look more modern 5 years from now? (And I'm 60 years old.)

It reminds me more of a Bolt EUV. Which would sell like hotcakes if they put a bed on the back of that thing and called it a Bolt EUT.

Cruising a couple bow-tie forums, apparently reservations are already open ahead of the advertised 1PM EST today. The launch edition is already sold out.

Watching the reveal - I do like what they are saying about the hardware agnostic OS for their EVs. A better / more modern approach than Ford's more traditional module based approach.
