    So they made the battery, arguably the most concerning thing to replace as the vehicle ages, ridiculous to replace?

    At least they're not reusing names for entirely new things. Mustang Mach-e is so weird. New vehicle, new name. Good

      Aging isn't the real problem. Batteries are being found to last ages and ages more than they were ever thought to. By the time it needs to be changed, these will be considered as antiques.

      I think the real problem will be in crashes and insurance. The amount of cars that will be totaled for a fender bender will be nuts.

    If it's about the size of a Maverick as the article suggests, that's not small at all.

      The Maverick is pretty small compared to other trucks. Smaller than a Ranger, and much, much smaller than the quarter and half ton trucks.

        Smaller doesn't necessarily mean small. Rangers are just normal big, and upper tier trucks are absolutely monstrous.

        You know what I thought the Maverick was sized like before looking it up? A Volkswagen Saveiro.

    Shoulda gone with Canyonero as the name.

    Love my ranger. ~700km on a tank of gasoline. Easy to work on at home. The factory installed upfitter switches make adding 12v additions easy.
