Today in Gear: Start Your Week Here

Ford announced plans to re-open orders on its very popular F-150 Lightning tomorrow morning. Fans who’ve been waiting to score the electric truck can finally tap in to order a new model, no previous reservation required. While the electrified F-150 was first revealed in 2021, Ford received over 200,000 reservations for the model by the end of that very year. Now, the brand hopes to triple its annual production, to create 150,000 units by the end of 2023. In March, Ford reopened the order book to reservation holders, but now, new customers can finally inch closer to owning the electric truck of their dreams.

Today we’re taking a look at eclectic edibles, the Terra Prime and a 2024 Toyota Tacoma teaser. This is Today in Gear.

Hit 55 mph with Terra Bikes’ Terra Prime

Terra Bikes

After building his own Stealth Bomber from scratch, Dylan Brown saw room for opportunity. He’d ordered the parts for the bike online before assembling it in his hometown of Carbondale, Colorado but kept tinkering, building and optimizing. The result? A new venture built around his own electric bike: The Terra Prime ($12,000). Brown designed the bike with proprietary and common parts, so budding gearheads could source parts from motorcycle shops to similarly tinker and treat the bike on their own. Equipped with a mix of mountain bike and motorcycle parts, plus a modular battery, the Terra Prime can hit a top speed about 25 mph faster than standard e-bikes.

2024 Toyota Tacoma to be Revealed May 19

Toyota

While fans have not-so-patiently awaited the new truck’s full reveal, Toyota has left them with one more teaser — a series of backlit, blacked-out silhouettes showing each truck’s body. Nevertheless, the images alone are enough to tell fans they can count on multiple cab and bed configurations, with the first teased model (likely) being the TRD Pro, built with a double-cab five-bed configuration. Two other images seem to tease the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter and Ext-Cab Long Bed model, but fans will have to wait until May 19 to learn all the exciting specs and details to come.
