This past May 19, 2021. The Ford Motor Company debuted their first-ever, electric F-150 pickup truck. Yes, a pickup truck Ford claims to be the best-selling pickup truck in the entire world for the past forty years.

The vehicle’s specifications ooze with technology. It has a 15-inch touch screen console in the middle of the dash, between the front driver’s seat and passenger. It utilizes blue-tooth technology to connect to your cellular phone.

The high-end model trims for the pickup offer the option with the proper setup and battery strength to electrify your home during a power outage, and the base price starts at of $39,000.
