Ford's been teasing a genuinely affordable electric truck for what feels like forever, and after the initial few months, I stopped waiting for it, much less the less-than-$30,000 anticipated price. Turns out Ford didn't just hit that target; it beat it. 

What's even more interesting is that the truck finally has an official name to go with the price.
