A lot of SR's popping up for sale, most for the same reason. I wonder if Ford is going to take another page from the Tesla book & stop making the small packs...

Ford is battery supply constrained so if they made all trucks LR that would have to reduce production numbers. Personally, as an experienced EV owner, I would not consider ordering an expensive vehicle that didn't have at least 300 miles of EPA range.

IMO, if long distance is your primary objective, don’t buy an electric vehicle as most ICE trucks/cars have substantially more range
I travel all over the US, been coast to coast twice in the last 12 months and bounce back & forth to our place in San Carlos, Mexico. For the last two years, that has been 100% EV in a Tesla Model Y. It is a breeze with in an EV with a >300 miles of range.

On trips where my wife had the Y and I used the Bolt (230mi range), it was a completely different story. Yes, missing the Tesla charging network was part of the differance, but having <300 miles of range is the biggest hit. Does that 100ish miles of rated range really make that much difference?

YES!! Enough that it goes from "easy-peasy" to "I'd rather not do it". We could go through all the math of why, but it has been posted here before. There is a magic wall @ 300 miles of range, particularly when road-tripping.

Just running around town? The SR should be fine.
