It's been growing on me the more I see it, just not a huge fan of the C shaped front lights.

At the 5:40 mark there's NO damper still. :mad: Guess that'll keep me in business through another generation.?

I do love the 5g lights better that's for sure. Digging the interior additions. Seats look super comfy

Yes I like our 5G lights better but I'm sure these will grow on me in time, I hate change. lol

I doubt they will but I hope they offer the marine grade vinyl as an option. They are super comfortable in the Bronco, much more than the leather in my Lariat.

That has A-pillar grab handles on both sides.

What do you want to bet that the US version is missing the driver's side due to a different air bag?

I do like it. Seems more refined inside except for that Amazon Kindle they stuck on the dash. Maybe in four years after my current truck is paid off, I might look at one. But for now, I am pleased with my truck.

The vertical screen is bad. Same in the current Explorer with tech package.

At least this one looks a little more integrated. The Explorer’s vertical screen is an abomination.

I'm really hoping the one in the next gen Ranger will look like the Bronco with the 12" horizontal screen. Seeing as they're both made at MAP you'd think they'd have similar screens. ?

Not really digging the front design either. The rest of it looks great though. I'm betting the torque from those diesel engines will push you back in the seat.
