I purchased a LaCie 2TB Rugged SSD Pro Thunderbolt 3 External SSD for my MacBookPro 16. When I try to format, I do not get the option to use APFS using Disk Utility. Is it not possible to do so?
Thank.

I had selected the wrong partition map. Thank you for your help.

First, you must be certain you are COMPLETLY ERASing the drive by its immutable device-name using Disk Utility, Not any LaCie-provided Utilities.
At that point, you may see more options.
Can't format to APFS
