Daniel Stenberg said Anthropicâ(TM)s Mythos AI found only one low-severity vulnerability in cURL, along with a few false positives and minor bugs, despite heavy hype around the model. After reviewing the results, the cURL team concluded Mythos performed similarly to other modern AI code-analysis tools, leading Stenberg to describe the excitement around it as âoeprimarily marketingâ and âoean amazingly successful marketing stunt.â

Look into the hybrid configurations. You get the insane torque of the electric motors, with great gas mileage and long ranges.

Gonna shill a bit:
The 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid, known as the PowerBoostâ Full Hybrid V6, offers a best-in-class 578 lb-ft of torque and 430 horsepower, providing 11,600 lbs of towing capacity. It is available on higher trims (XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum) and features Pro Power Onboard, turning the truck into a 7.2 kW mobile generator.

You are utterly incorrect, and have no idea what you are talking about.

The Lightning pickup was a high end luxury vehicle, that wasn't really a pickup. All electric pickups suffer from severe towing limitations compared to gasoline. Not to mention they total fail in comparison to hybrid powertrain approaches that can give them ranges in the 400-600 miles *WHILE TOWING*.

That is, to say, the Lightning was always a glorified grocery getter for people who didn't use a pickup for a work-use. It was suburban vehicle for those that didn't want to have an SUV. It was an upscale minivan that you could put plywood and crap in the back - if you didn't care about messing up your $70,000 truck. It was a great vehicle - but it wasn't a "Truck".

Ford is pursing EVs in a BIG way. Their Louisville plant is ramping up to produce highly competitive LOW cost EV's with good range. Which is the only way that you're going to move people into EV's. No want wants to spend extra money just to drive an "EV" anymore. The "I drive a Tesla" hipster / yuppie phase is dying, or is dead. The new vehicles need to be practical, low cost, and relieve range concerns.

Anyway - it sounds like it doesn't fit your use case, which I suspect is not actually a towing vehicle / work truck and is more a 'get me to work' or a 'get me to the grocery store' or 'I want get some mulch for the flower bed'. Trucks sold in volume have a pretty well defined purpose. And that's to be used as a truck.
