What is not published, and why this page is short
Range, battery capacity, horsepower, towing, payload, bed length, trims, colors, and an order guide. Ford has released none of them, and we do not print a number Ford has not. When Ford publishes an order guide this page becomes a full review in the same shape as the other fifteen.
