For a work truck it sure is nice looking. This is the lowest priced model in the lineup.

This should be the volume trim. It's got the low price tag that, with incentives and a super-low maintenance costs, makes this a no-brainer for commercial fleets.
And speaking of maintenance, I was talking with the Ford folks and the first scheduled maintenance is a motor check at 150,000, and then a cooling fluids flush and change at 200,000 miles.
Of course, the bigger difference for most buyers interested in this trim is that its only available at a Ford Commercial Vehicle Center. But, there are over 650 of them and If I understood correctly, they're all going to sell and service electric vehicles.

Oh, below is a screenshot I snapped during the Ford+ Market Day presentation and I thought it was interesting to see what kind of infor would be available to fleet managers and owners.

Sounds awesome, great incentive for commercial/business purposes, even I could afford those maintenance costs:)

I'm sure there are some wear items that need replacing as well -- brake pads (but fewer), cabin filter, etc -- but a lot fewer and a lot less down time, which is extremely important for fleets.

Interesting, there's only 2 Ford dealers in my area they let me choose from when I put in my reservation, Bohn Ford which sells everything Ford makes automobile wise and Crescent Ford Trucks which is whom I selected. The only thing they sell is trucks from F150 all the way up to the biggest truck Ford makes. Definitely a commercial vehicle center.

I wouldn't consider Bohn Ford a commercial vehicle dealer.

Plugging in New Orleans to the Ford Commercial Fleet Services website, I see Crescent Ford Trucks and Lamarque Ford as your closest options. Banner Ford in Mandeville is also a commercial site.

Crescent and Bohn were the only two offered when I put my reservation down.

Bohn are crooks, Banner is too far away, Lamarque is always overpriced, I knew Crescent was an all truck dealer so they get the deal when it comes time. :cool:
