Toyota has unveiled its electric pickup truck concept, the EPU, at the Japan Mobility Show. The midsize electric truck, which is similar in size to Ford's Maverick, features a rugged design and innovative cargo space options. While it could potentially rival the Maverick in the North American market, there are doubts about whether the EPU will actually be produced and brought to market. Toyota has been teasing electric concepts for years without much progress, and it is more likely that Ford or other competitors will introduce their own electric pickups before the EPU becomes available.

Ivan Gonzalez, the builder of the world's quickest Ford Maverick, has successfully swapped the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine from a 2020 Lincoln Corsair into his Maverick, proving that it is essentially "plug-and-play." The engine fit seamlessly, with the stock wiring harness carrying over almost perfectly. With performance parts developed by Gonzalez, including a ram air intake and a custom front-mount intercooler, the Maverick is running at its best, achieving a quarter-mile time of 12.4 seconds at 112 mph. Gonzalez's goal is to break into the 11s by the end of the year, and he plans to achieve this at an upcoming drag race event.
