It's a weird thing. Some will be sold, but I don't see the yee-haw crowd (except a few) trading in their Raptors for E-Trucks even if they are faster and more powerful.
I wonder what the range is if you're towing something big and heavy. I've got to assume that towing a huge load will shorten your range like drag racing at full throttle. But then how many guys tow a huge boat or camper long distances these days. I just don't know.
