That's what Patrick seems to think, because the powertrain they'd likely use will likely be the one from the Aviator. That makes a combined 450 hp and 600 lb-feet of torque. What do you think? Will Ford use the Aviator powerplant in an F-150? More info here.

 

The benefits of electric is the "instant" torque. That is why trains are diesel-electric, most of them use traction motors.

I'd love to see a "transmission-less" truck that works similar to a train, just straight up using motors.

 

That would be interesting, for sure. I seriously hope they build this baby!
