Does it have rock sliders for the tailpipes? Does it lack front tow hooks? The tail lamps look like an aftermarket add-on. Overall, I like it, but I wish they would try to give it it's own look and not try to make it resemble the F150 Raptor.

A '?' for the tai light, looks clownish.

I think this is the Ocieana (Australia/NZ/Thailand/Melanesia) version. North America will almost certainly get steel bumpers and slightly different fender vents, like the NA 5G has. We don't get the diesel that ROW has.
The exhaust pipes exiting under the bumper seem like they would be more susceptible to getting pinched in severe departure angles; should clear the parking blocks at the mall, though.

I think you will be a little low on that. Except on the availability.

Oh that is EU spec. Says so on the sticker on the rear window.

Makes me no never mind about price as I am good with current truck. Upwards to 70k for a Ranger, thats nuts.

sure sign of a looming recession when an automaker chooses to showcase a nondescript bland chromeless gloomy gray model that makes a poor attempt to mimic Rams, Colorados and Frontiers. In 2018 it was white with a stunning chrome package - wait that's just like the one I own.
Might just mean they aren't targeting you, pretty sure the 15 recessions in the last 100 years haven't shown causation at all with lack of chome. Chrome is for old people, maybe they are aiming at a younger generation of buyer for this truck. No upscale modern car has any chrome unless they are aiming at the old crowd, even those generally offer an way to remove the chrome so younger buyers are willing to drive it too.

It's nice but no tailgate damper... Sorry Dave ?. Don't have to worry about the brake boot cracking. I'm sorry, I didn't check if the shifter and cup holders light up.

Where were those pictures from? Thats a UK spec truck. The power ourlet in the bed is UK and no front side markers and CHMSL is on the tailgate not cab.

Not bad looking, I suppose that front end could grow on me. Better than the regular EURO spec Ranger we've been seeing with the plastic front bumper. Still not sure about the HUGE touch screen on the dash though.

You have a keen eye. I never noticed the CHMSL. The drop in liner I have seen in the Australia trucks.
This truck was in Dearborn. However they did have a right hand drive Everest there.
