Farley said that the company is already pushing dirt down in Blue Oval City for another electric pickup truck, which is different from the F-150 Lightning. “I wish we could bring you down there, but we’re already pushing dirt down in Blue Oval City for another electric pickup truck that’s different than this one," Farley said at Stanton, where the automaker is building its manufacturing plant that will assemble electric vehicles, produce batteries for EVs. It will also have a supplier park for the Ford electric vehicles. The plant is expected to become operational in 2025.

The Ford CEO also said that the auto major aims to become the number one in the electric pickup truck segment. “We have every intention of being the number one electric pickup maker," he added. It is not sure if Ford would be bringing a completely new electric pickup truck that would be built from the ground up or it would launch an all-electric variant of the Ranger or Maverick pickup trucks.
