I've been trying to eyeball where the charge port is from the camo/spy photos, and I can't see where it is. Neither the driver side rear or passenger side rear appear to have it, unless they covered it with the wrap. I suppose it could be under the black cover over the hood, on the front quarter panel like the Lightning

Not a fan of the location on an EV truck. Of course this truck will not be a likely tow vehicle, but it certainly could be.
I recently acquired a Sierra EV Denali. It tows like a beast! And GM/GMC even touts its towing prowess. Yet they so bad want to be Tesla cute that they put the charging port in the "back it in" location.

Ford definitely got it right on the Lightning. I would have thought truck engineers would get it?

What’s the problem with it being on the back left side? Because of towing things so you can’t back it in?

Most chargers have pretty long cables so I’m thinking it’s not so much of a problem. The other decent location would have been front right so it would also be curbside.

Yes, towing doesn't mix with backing it in.

And If you DCFC commonly at Tesla superchargers, that cable is NOT long at all. In my Mach-E, as well as the Lightning, you often have to brave a curb or the pedastal itself to get close enough for the short cable.

Gotcha. I feel like front-right would have been better in that case because it would allow going head-in and be close to the cables.

Also, I felt your pain. :rolleyes:
