I would be willing to bet that there will be several inserts where the grille would be to distinguish different trim levels....Ford has become a master at that.            

Yeah that is why I call it the shaved eyebrows look-it looks the same but something is off and you don't notice it at first.    The grill of a car has been a focal point of its styling for the past 70-80+ years, if not longer. 

Agreed.  I think people have become more accustomed to the EV grille-less look, but I still generally prefer the grille look.

Here's a thought - are we sure they'll all be Ford products?  Could one be a Lincoln Corsair replacement?

They definitely need something to slot back in between BS and Explorer that's more on-road oriented.   I suppose that's possible....     Well, the President of Ford blue/model e did specifically say all-new nameplates, and we know for sure the EV truck/SUV are right, 2 of your suggestions (next-gen BS and Maverick) don't fit that bill.   These models won’t be redesigns or cut-down versions of existing vehicles, but all-new nameplates, Andrew Frick, president of Ford’s EV and gas-car divisions, said at the National Automobile Dealers Association trade expo in Las Vegas.

But Ford stated that the 5 vehicles will be new nameplates and not redesigns of existing models.  

Sounds like it, because they shouldn't be wearing out that quickly!

I think I meant to quote the other post questioning the pricing and/or was backing up what you were saying lol.   I agree about the TTP product.....it's a wild card to me.

You sure about that?     https://www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articles/2025/ford-reinvests-trucks-hybrids-affordable-electric-vehicles   OHAP built the Nissan Quest/Mercury Villager and Escape/Mainer unibody products in the past, so shouldn't be a big deal to have a product like that added. 

Biggest problem I’ve had with mine (aside from the meeting with the deer at 55mph) is I’m going on my 4th left front strut. I’m wondering if there’s something out of spec causing it to keep blowing them out.
