It's got an on-board generator....

Makes more sense. Generator charges batteries with gas power when needed. I feel stupid, ha ha.

Well, that is the assumption most people make about electric drive vehicles. Silly, but people are silly.
Think about that 0-60 time tho, that's an 80,000lb vehicle.

I love Ford Raptors too, so this is funny and sad all at the same time.
More balls than brainsTypical Ford owner, that for sure! LOLFTFY
I don't know man, I own a Ford and I'm not jumping off shit!! LOL
It was really more about the lack of brains than the presence of balls... just sayin'
Not a Ford fan, eh? When it comes to trucks, I have no such loyalties.
I have no brand loyalty at all... Show me a decent truck that can tow (and occasionally be towed -- you know it happens) and I'm good.
My contractor neighbor had a couple of fords over the last 2 decades, and right now he has a Chevy truck that he hates. He's been trying to sell it so he can grab an F-250 diesel. But whatever, as long as it's not a Dodge....
Just finished up lunch here, and you had reminded me about something from Tesla... They're supposedly doing a tractor for a tractor trailer rig. They're actually doing it right, I'd be floored if I wasn't already sitting down. The generator is natural gas, which is actually available for road vehicles now, unlike the hydrogen model I've seen around before. The price point is actually reasonable, and the performance, well...
Its power specs are daunting:
320 kWh battery pack
2,000 horsepower
3,700 lb-ft of torque
6% incline speed up to 65 miles per hour
0-60 under load in 30 seconds
Up to 1,200 miles of rangeNow that's what I call a truck.
<Joe Dirt voice> Daaaaaaaaaaaannng!
