My favorite so far is the "peeling chrome on the interior console may scratch you" recall.

I’ve wondered the same thing. Seems like many of Ford’s recalls would not be recalls for other OEMs.

I'm talking about that rendering, which the production one likely won't have anyway...     I stand corrected then!  I think at one point, it wasn't something you could get on the Raptor for whatever reason....guess they've fixed that.   I'd assume they're still using the step tailgate, and not that new version with the central door?  He'd love a Raptor R, but didn't feel the body/interior changes are enough vs. his for the cost (plus obligatory markup)......maybe when the new one comes out it'll be more of a change he'd consider. Honestly, if Ford came out with a Lobo R (though a top end one, not one based off STX) similar to what Ram just came out with, he'd likely go that route, because he's always liked fast vehicles (his past trucks have been lowered and/or supercharged), and Raptor has been the only way to do that from the factory, but doesn't really need the offroad capability.     They could do the quick disconnect like on Bronco that's very easy to pull and put back on....or as you point out, just not have it at all and save on glass and wiring.

Or Mary Kay

That things screams Barbie, not Utah. As noted above, it’s not for me, but I’m sure it’ll sell.

As luck would have it, we've got a Raptor outside. I just took the keys and checked - tailgate is power down and power up.   I don't think the flip up glass is super plausible on this realistically. I think it could be done, but I think it won't be the route the designers take. This does bring up another thought about rear glass, though. I know there isn't an option on any Maverick to have rear window defrost. If they're going to have it on this thing, they'll either have to have the glass connected to the truck for the electrical connection, or have a quick-disconnect or press-connect if the glass is removable. Or, like the Maverick, just not offer rear defrost.

A bit of contrast to break things up perhaps? Then again, the truck being super low, around 60 inches tall, maybe it'll look pretty sleek as is. 

Yeah, my dad has some shoulder issues, and sometimes has problems putting his tailgate back up on his '17 Raptor.  He'd love one of the power (up) tailgates, but I don't think the Raptor offers those.   Are you meaning like a flip up glass?  Don't think that's possible with the setup of what we have seen so far.

I just had a customer point out how much weight difference there can be in tailgates. He was commenting that a 26 F-150 on our lot had a tailgate that was so much lighter than his 23. That didn't make sense until he mentioned he had the bed utility package with tailgate step, and the 26 didn't.   Taking another look at the camo-tape-wrap truck, I wonder if maybe they'd just go with what they've already got on the Bronco Sport. Not super likely, but another option other than roll down or remove and stow.
