Not sure if this belongs in the 6G thread but had a chance to look / comparison at a new model the other day when one pulled up next to mine at the rail station car park I use.
Looks like Ford intend to merge the global and US models going forward.
Overall a similar size and shape but every panel looks different.
Interior is different - you've already seen that on numerous other posts here.
LED front and rear lights.
Chassis is quite different, new one looks hydro formed and is larger section and different design. Tubular cross brace at the rear is now a rectangular one, sited a little further forward.
Front spindles are aluminum
Front upper arms look the same, lower arms are steel and at least similar.
Rear springs look the same as mine, but rear diff is now a Salisbury type with rear disk brakes and similar bump stop setup to your model.
All models now have the 10 speed auto
All models except the Raptor are diesel, 2.0 single turbo, 2.0 Bi turbo or 3.0 V6 turbo ( the Ford designed Range Rover engine). The one parked next to me was a V6 turbo sport in gold - very nice. Raptors get a V6 Ecoboost petrol from the F150.
Now I have an itchy finger, but I'll wait a bit until the current crazy pricing and wait times have died down a little.
