I thought the dash pad with stitching was an option? 

Bingo!  Did you find it yet?

Tease!

I'd guess Ranger is 90/10 retail/fleet since it doesn't have the supercab anymore.  I'd imagine that model led the way with fleet sales.

But I'm still not understanding.....   You read some random article, of which you didn't mention any details whatsoever - not the publication, details of complaints, author, nothing.  And then somehow everyone else is supposed to find that and post it for you?  

Sadly, this is actually true:  even Lux Badlands doesn't have the auto dimming rearview mirror.       They've also dropped the learther wrapped shift knob:   New:     Old:   And stitched dash:         The rampant cost cutting on touch points/features that people use literally every day while increasing prices is ridiculous.

Mazda is pretty embedded with Toyota at this point from what I understand.  Though they seem to be more independent than Subaru, which at least for the BEV models, is getting rebadged Toyotas.     Correct, but they've reportedly still been talking.

Like I said upgrading FR is an option but it seems to be far more expensive than using Cuautitlan but I understand the optics.  Maybe they will upgrade FR after all.  The good news/bad news is they can build a year's supply of mustangs in one month to last while it gets rebuilt.

Just for the love of god offer it with the correct number of pedals
