Ford has been too busy selling $80,000 trucks to worry about cars and EVs.
I've never understood why so many people in the US buy pickups. City dwellers? Why? People in most trades? Panel van > pickup. Farmers or ranchers? Makes sense.
My employer just swapped me from a pickup with a covered rollout bed to a van. I absolutely love it! Slightly less comfortable ride, but carries more parts and it's all more accessible, especially if it's raining or snowing. So this is why many companies have been using vans for so long...

Status symbol: "I'm a fucking moron :D"
