New model reveal: what matters beyond the headline specs?

QuattroGeek8Community StarterJul 27, 20261990 Ford F-150 XLTSacramento

1990 Ford F-150 XLT, about 22,000 miles. A new model just dropped and the headline numbers look good, but I'm more interested in curb weight, wheel/tire sizes, real rear-seat room, charging/fueling, repairability and what features are locked behind packages. Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 1990 Ford F-150 charge sessions. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 1990 Ford F-150 in Sacramento with 22,000 miles. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I'll update if anything new shows up.
