The vintage electric pickup truck has the same dual-motor powertrain as the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance, and the crate motor is for sale.
Ford F-100
Earlier this year, Ford announced its first electric crate motor called the Eluminator: a 281-hp electric motor from the Mustang Mach-E GT. Now Ford is giving the world an example of what the Eluminator can be used for at this year's SEMA show in Las Vegas with it used on a 1978 F-100 pickup.
However, the F-100 Eluminator concept uses the same dual-motor electric powertrain from the 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance, which Ford claims will reach 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The two motors make a combined 480 horsepower and 634 pound-feet of torque. The version you'll be able to buy from Ford makes 281 horsepower and 317 pound-feet. Of course, the electric motors aren't the only electric hardware that'll need to be installed—the Mach-E GT's 88.0-kWh battery pack provides the juice.
The concept truck was built by MLe Racecars and the Roadster Shop, and it's finished in Avalanche Gray with copper accents. A set of 19-inch wheels are wrapped with Michelin Latitude Sport tires, and it has an aggressive stance, nailing the retro look. The interior features avocado-tanned leather and a billet aluminum dashboard with the 15.5-inch center touchscreen from the Mustang Mach-E.
Ford's production electric pickup, the F-150 Lightning, will go on sale next year. In the meantime, the Eluminator electric crate motor is available to purchase online now for $3900, and it's street legal in all 50 states. We can't wait to see the EV conversions people come up with.
