Not enough info to respond with just "electric F-150" to go on.
Will it have 300+ miles of range? 400+?
800V battery system?
DCFC at 300 kW+?
dual motor with quad motor option?
Price?
Functional frunk?
Heat pump?
V2G/H/L?
Bed/cab options?
Fifth wheel capable?
Can it be flat towed?

My next vehicle will be a BEV truck, to replace my diesel truck that's falling apart. Brand doesn't matter, availability/cost/functionality matter more. My criteria basically are (in order of importance):
My family currently has two cars (one BEV, one ICE) in addition to a truck. We need the truck for plowing, hauling, and towing but its mileage is so poor we have a second car for normal use. With a BEV truck it's likely we'd be able to get rid of the second car and use the BEV truck as a daily vehicle since gas mileage will no longer be an issue.
- When is it available
- What is the price
- Will it work for plowing
- What can it tow

I definitely like the idea of an electric F150. I was very excited when the 2015 F150 came out but I could not get over that it had an ICE. I don’t know that I will be in the market for a pickup truck, even an electric one, anytime soon but if I was the electric F150 would be my first choice.
When the electric F150 first comes out it will probably have a price tag of $70K+ with the options I want. That’s just not the kind of investment I want to make right now. I admit the truck I have is getting pretty old but I going to wait until either I can get the electric truck I want for a lot less money or somehow I can find a lot more money in my pocket.

F150 is the backbone of Ford. They’re not going to touch that golden goose until they’re 100% sure it will be just as profitable.

Price is relative based on your need and what you are willing to pay. $70K+ would be out of my price range right now but I don’t need a new truck. I’m sure a lot of people with plenty of money in their pocket will be willing to pay this price even if they don’t particularly need a pickup truck.
If you are willing to wait a few years you will be able to pick up a used electric F150 for probably $30K, which is a price I would be more willing to pay for a vehicle I would like to have but don’t really need. By the time a used F150 comes down to the $30K price range my existing truck will be an antique. By then I should have the choice of either electrifying my antique for $30K+ or buying a used F150 for $30K+.
I would also like to point out that there is a reason the F150 is best selling pickup truck in the USA. All Ford has to do is follow the same formula and they will have the best selling ELECTRIC pickup truck in the USA. Even though I don’t plan to buy one, I am very excited by the temptation to buy one and I hope that temptation doesn’t pull me in before I’m ready.

Maybe I should have mentioned my current truck is an F-350 Super Duty, which has been great for my needs (maybe overkill). No real truck is very cheap, so I don't expect sticker shock from an electric F-150 unless it's crazy expensive like the Hummer EV.
I think that falls into the "well, duh!" category. It's not a terribly cheap truck to begin with, and electric vehicles are always going to be more expensive to purchase than equivalent ICE vehicles.
