I asked him some other questions under my OneAlienBoi profile on the maverick forums. Apparently it's gonna have some accessories, but he said they were silly and would appeal to people under 35 mostly. 

A post over on mavericktruckclub seems to corroborate this. Take this with a grain of salt, but the poster mentioned he was in a focus group for this vehicle. He said the base version would be 30k with RWD and 200 mile range. The AWD version with extended range would be 35-38k. He mentioned thinking it looked like a Kia/hyundai at first. He also mentioned the mid gate, very modern looking interior with the large screen, and the ability to power your house like the lightning could. Also a power tailgate.

Midsize Ford EV Pickup Targeted Range Revealed   When asked about the company's stance on the pickups range, Ford supplied an interesting answer. "Our strategy is to meet the expectation of some customers of around 300 miles of range. Instead of using larger, more expensive batteries to achieve this, we are focusing on extreme vehicle efficiency through aerodynamics, weight reduction, and energy management to achieve a similar range with a smaller, lower-cost battery." Mentioning that "some" customers are expecting about 300 miles of range certainly suggests that the midsize Ford EV pickup may not feature a total range figure near 300 for the standard range model. Instead, it seems like the company will also offer an optional nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery, confirming previous reports.   Ford EV Battery Production Begins Ahead Of Midsize Pickup's Debut    

Will Defender devolve into a rebadged Cherokee? I can't imagine Defender surviving intact given sub-30,000 annual sales. I speculate that there will be a North American Defender and a ROW one, or else Stellantis US builds all Defenders- 115K sold globally last year. 

Did Ford remove the Lincoln logo from the building as well? 

Land Rover Gets Jeep's Help To Boost Sales In North America   JLR does not have a factory in North America, so that is where the partnership with Stellantis will benefit the UK automaker. The two companies announced a "non-binding Memorandum of Understanding" last month, and a US-built Defender will be the first product to come from this collaboration.
