This is so American. Instead of encouraging city/infrastructure planning and lifestyle changes, the government is promoting coal-powered behemoths that maybe 1% of the population has a legitimate use for.

The entire point of the Lightning is that it's an electric truck.
... Yes? Just because it's powered by coal/natural gas instead of gas/diesel, does that make it environmentally responsible? It's way too large for the vast majority of people's needs, and the more large electric vehicles you make, the more power infrastructure you need, and the more inefficiently cities need to be designed. It has zero legitimate use for commuters.

Even for professional use, it's fine for, say, a contractor doing jobs around the city, but it's unusable for farmers.

Apparently the expected MSRP starts at over $70k and will extend well into the six-figure range. This is a luxury vehicle and one targeted at the commuting-but-compensating demographic.

I just want them to restore the Ford Ranger to something close to its former shape and size.

The Maverick has been unveiled and is a new unibody Ford truck just a shade longer than an Explorer. Finally, something I would be tempted to buy.
