Even better for everyone here is A) Its really light (like 3500 lbs), and B) I'm going to guess that the hybrid version will be flat towable.

Even if it isn't flat towable the FWD version will likely be dolly towable.

I've also heard that there may be a BEV version in the future.

It appears the majority of the drivetrain (with exception of revised electric motor) was borrowed from Escape, so it would be a good guess that whether it is flat towable or not is the same as Escape. Just a guess though.

The Motor Trend article below shows it’s not plug in, although they speculate an AWD plug-in version is likely in future plans given space available for larger battery and Escape AWD option.

The truck itself is probably not something I’d buy for myself, but the technology and Ford’s commitment to hybrid powertrain is of great interest to me. Scaled in size to a light camper van like mine (just about twice as heavy), I would love 20 MPG city instead of my present 10 MPG in the city.

Even better would be Ford offering the technology on motorhome chassis so an Axis-size MH could get 13~14 MPG in city traffic. Specially if cost was kept low unlike all-electric chassis options requiring 200 kWh batteries or more.
