Shortly after Ford confirmed that the
electric F-150 will be built in a new facility at the automaker’s Rouge vehicle
assembly complex, a teaser image showcasing the front fascia of the truck has
found its way online.
While Ford could have quite easily decided
to make the electric F-150 look almost identical to the combustion engine
variants, this teaser reveals the truck will instead have a unique design, at
least with regards to the front fascia.
The teaser image reveals the truck will
have a full-width LED lightbar and prominent daytime running lights. We can
also see small main headlight units and a rectangular grille. As CNET notes,
the front end does look a bit like a mix between the Rivian R1T and the new
Ford Bronco, although that is no bad thing. Elsewhere, we can see the F-150 EV
will have a hood similar in shape to other F-150 models while also using a set
of relatively small wing mirrors.
Beyond its looks, Ford says the electric
F-150 will feature two electric motors and “deliver more horsepower and torque
than any F-150 available today.” That means it will have more than the 450 hp
and 691 Nm of the current F-150 Raptor. Ford has also confirmed the
electric model will be the fastest-accelerating version of the F-150 and have
the “ability to tow heavy trailers.” The use of a compact electric powertrain
will also allow Ford to repurpose the truck’s engine bay into a spacious front
trunk.
