Range: 126 miles.

Fine for an electrician with a small service area. Not going to make it for our camper van

60 miles (in warm weather) by the time you trim it out as a decent RV.  (I was a consistent 'winner' in our Heaviest RV competitions using dmv scales.)

That's not going to get 'er done.

RV is off the table. But I was thinking that even once you trim it out as an effective work truck, you'll lop a fair bit of range off it. That wouldn't be enough for and tradesperson out here. It might work in some dense environments where (according to the Ford data) the vast vast majority of trips are under 74 miles.

Still, there will be a lot of range anxiety if they don't offer a long-range package.
