I was all set to order one until seeing this.

No damper=dealbreaker.
No kidding...they spent all that engineering to dampen the truck and leave nothing for the tailgate...what else did they leave out?

Great review! Love the truck! But you have to wonder how many of those features will make it to the States. And when? And how much?

Probably won’t make it to the states. With manufacturers fleets having to meet MPG goals in the states this truck will probably bring that overall number down…so it will stay overseas. Just my guess. But a super cool truck!.

Who needs to drive that fast on dirt roads??? I’ll take the engine but give me leaf springs in the back so I can carry a little weight.

Besides the fugly front end the other big driving factor for me not buying one is much more sinister; the dealerships.

You are going to see absolutely ridiculous mark-ups... oh I'm sorry "market adjustments" on these. Not to mention back-door dealings where the GM will secure them for their inner-social circles.

Ford huffs and puffs, basically gas-lighting about how they are repremanding dealerships for this practice, but the reality is business as usual. Out of all of Ford's wrist slapping who has ever seen or heard of any positive results from it?

Thought so.
