You could be right, but man I hope not. That’s such a goofy looking shape. Looks like a cyber truck with smoothed over edges. I don’t think that shape will translate well to a smaller design either.   This quote has also bugged me; “Ford says that the new midsized truck will have more passenger room than the new Toyota RAV4 — even before you include the frunk and truck bed”   Why would you ever include the truck bed as passenger space? Are they planning something like the slate where the bed can be transformed into a passenger area?

I wouldn't read too much into that image-but I think its generally correct-numbers 52 and 30 would most likely be optional package? Maybe a range extender of a few miles due to improved aerodynamics and to meet the claims of having more space then a RAV4

I don't think it is that-I have an upgraded system (New Kicker Speakers and Subwoofer) in my Bronco that still uses the Ford hardware and both the App and Built in SiriusXM sound roughly the same. I was taken aback at how much better Apple Music sounds (they use a lossless compression) that actually can drive the speakers far better then SiriusXM ever could. Apple Music even sounds ever so slightly better then Ripped CDs I have on my phone.  As for Apple Music, I just looked and they have playlist of 80s hits. I'm still messing with it, but apparently you can create a station using a Song and it will play music based off that choice. Or just ask it play a band name and it will play songs from their albums. This morning I asked Siri to play The Killers and it would going through their collection of music. You can fast forward as much as you want to, if you don't like something. It also seems to get better with the selection of Music it picks the more you use it.    It does some weird stuff-I asked for Sir Mix a Lot "baby got back" to play and the next song it played was NWA Gangster Gangster-not quite what I was expecting to play next LOL

I never had to use the built in maps because of my Waze or Google Maps screwed up (I've had display freeze on me on a trip though once) so IMO it is pointless and I don't need it in my next vehicle.     

I use the app but not in the vehicles.  I like to channel surf with the steering wheel buttons and you can’t do that with the app.   One thing I noticed on my Boxster is the satellite sound quality is much better than any of our FoMoCo vehicles including the Revel system on our Nautilus.  I know they compress some channels a lot but it seems to also be a problem with Ford’s hardware that makes it worse.   Does Apple Music have 70s and 80s channels?  That’s what we listen to the most.

Well it kinda matches the bed cover angle shown in this patent image. So maybe it's the truck wearing this bed cap that apparently doubles as a tent?     But then the issue is this design from the patent doesn't appear to match the shape under the tarp, which appears to have a longer hood than the vehicle below. 

250-300 would be fine for a standard pack.  I'd have to assume there will be range upgrade options too.

Even if it does that, he said he'd rather go through 15 steps than just do voice.     they usually do.     This is similar to Ford's current "connected" navigation, which mine came with for 3 years or whatever it was.  It overlays some traffic or weather on the map, WiFi, etc.   I'd occasionally look at the radar thing, but the phone also does it, so largely didn't use any of it really.  After that, it reverts to regular navigation (an option when ordering) with just the map and ability to do directions, just no traffic stuff.  Honestly, I've only used the car-based one a few times (I'll primarily use waze for longer road trips (people report speed traps, etc), or google maps for regular trips as needed), but I like having the built in map just in case.

I think the new batteries will allow 250-300 minimum.

So its kinda pointless again if you use Android Auto or CarPlay with a smart phone
