Ford is working on an electric F-150 prototype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXFHgoon7lg

And considering it's the electric drivetrain that adds all the main features (performance, tow capacity, torque, electrical outlets, etc), they could easily close the gap with Tesla. It remains to be seen on how much people care about the styling and hardened steel body though.

Forgot range. Which depends on weight. Which is saved by the battery enclosure being a structural member of the vehicle. I think to make a decent electric truck it will take more than strapping some batteries under the box and swapping ice for electric.
