...that's why I said: Start with a broken engine/trans/transfer FORD and a TOTALED Tesla - do some magic in your man cave (shop) and you got one MMF of a EV-Truck! What do you mean wimpy low sports car?? You need to study up on Tesla, mate!! thjakits

Okay - going by your list of Ford trucks - and assuming you get one with a burnt engine/trans/tranfer: Build it either with 2 chassis mounted motors or 4 hub-motors (lots of movement in that area now...), of course you want regen-braking. Then fill up all available space with batteries!! For...
