Yup, it’s a dead duck.
Personally, I’m watching the Slate truck with some interest. As I would kinda like a better way to haul trash/yard debris; but, an F-150 (especially the newer, juiced up ones) seems like the type of overkill reserved for killing a fly with a tactical nuclear weapon. I’d be really happy to have one of the older ('90’s era) small trucks with an EV drive train. But those were killed by the rule of unintended consequences.
Ya actually, that is interesting. Thanks for the link.
EDIT: looking at the pictures, it seems like it’s still sized around the current F-150 footprint. But maybe that’s just the body styling making it look bigger.

The test platform spottings in the wild put it at Maverick size.
Digging around, that seems to be [just a bit bigger[(https://www.blueovaltrucks.com/ford-maverick-and-old-school-ford-ranger-comparison/) than the old rangers used to be (before Ford supersized them). So, might be a reasonable size for a light truck.
