It's not a back peddle in terms of what they have promised, but it is certainly a slower transition into full EV trucks. My comparison with the Toyota RAV4 Prime, is not to the F150 hybrid, it is to the Honda CR-V. Honda, like Ford, did not choose to make the CR-V a plug in hybrid, even though years ago they had Honda Pilot PHEV mules running around, and no PHEV models have yet surfaced. Toyota offers the RAV4 in both a hybrid model, and a plug in hybrid (Prime). As I mentioned, other truck manufacturers like Dodge are not even as far along as Ford's F150 hybrid, as they have a mild hybrid, which is just a generator/alternator, but it is weak. And of course GM has nothing in EV trucks now either, but their Hummer (now probably delayed) will be a full BEV, and other truck EVs will show up the F150 Hybrid as being a marginal improvement, compared to a plug in truck/SUV (like the Lincoln Aviator PHEV), and of course Ford's own promised and rumored BEV F150.
