The Slate only has a 5' bed. Better, I'm guessing, that what the Ford
will be but not as good as the 6 foot bed in my 1998 Ford Ranger. I
converted the Ranger and it mostly serves my needs but more range and
power would be welcome. It's hard to justify putting even more money
into it so I'm looking at this new batch of small pickups as well. I
just wish the slate had the extra space behind the seats like my Ranger
extended cab does. I use that space. I have no need for back seats though.

And don't forget about Slate....small like Telo, but simpler and less

I still have my hopes on Telo. Last I read, they are on track for
shipping production models late this year (like december).
It has the mid gate. So, with the mid gate down, which includes the
back seats, it has an 8' bed. And that's with the tailgate up. With
the mid gate up, it will seat 5.
Also, they will have a camper shell. With the shell, it's almost a
minivan. The only significant difference is the dual rear hatch
instead of a single overhead hatch.
I think I read it will have 11" ground clearance.
Not as cheap as what ford is promising, but better and I still think
it has a competitive price for trucks in general: around $45k.

The Ford EV pickup sounds promising, but it looks like the usual
"car disguised as a pickup", i.e. a crew cab with a short bed.
I like small pickups! I have a 2010 Chevy Colorado small pickup (the
size of the earlier Chevy S10). It's a single cab and has a 6' bed
which fits my slide-in camper. I'll be sad when it wears out because
it can't be replaced with anything they're making today.
