Instead of going electric, Ford will be transitioning the Super Duty to hydrogen fuel cellsThat's Ford's take according to reports, not mine; though I happen to agree. If not towing very large trailers on a regular basis, why not just buy an F-150? Obviously, Super Duty can also haul much heavier loads in bed, but I seriously doubt load in SD bed often exceeds what an F-150 could haul — excluding gooseneck and fifth-wheel loads.
I'm pro BEV but I'm even more pro objectivity, and I just don't see how a BEV with SD capabilities can be manufactured today at a price that many will buy, unless of course the government buys it for them. Isn't that the reason Pepsi purchased Tesla semi? Sure, if taxpayers fund enough incentives, anything can be sold. To me that doesn't make sense because it compromises decision-making process. I accept BEVs needed training wheels to get started, but it's time to remove incentives to force best possible decisions.
If Ford can build a competitive BEV SD, that's great. I just don't expect many takers at the cost it would require.Wed, 05 Apr 2023 21:21:19 +0000
