That’s the way to do it. 

I don't see F150 moving to become a "midsize" truck - I see it resetting what a "full-size" truck is in terms of dimensions. You will see GM, Stellantis, Toyota and others follow suit. I just see it incrementally getting its dimensions trimmed down and adding things like a unicast frame or some other segment changing tech to move the entire market forward in a more "trim" size. Part of it will be the "drive by wire" braking and steering as well as EREV entrants and more differentiation from F250/350/450/550/600 cab and chassis variants.   

I have a few questions How would rebranding F150 as a mid sized truck help profits when buyers have an overwhelming desire for a full sized truck?   How are they going to convince those full sized buyers to accept less? not saying this is the case but, what if the mid sized truck is say, branded as F100? that would be something worth doing for worldwide sales supplanting Ranger name. That would also signal T6 being more heavily influenced by North America 

Just an observation, and let me preface this by saying I'm not an engineer. But I wonder if one of the reasons engineers do this separate window look is due to packaging. Looking at some of these photos, it looks like if that tiny glass window was the same piece and thus moved with the rest of the window, it would run into clearance issues on some of the components.    Like on the orange one you mentioned, I think it's a Nissan. The front glass is basically right over the wheel. So if that was all one piece, and subsequently, all of it retracted into the door, maybe there would be clearance issues with the retracted glass getting close to the wheel liner and other components. They could make it so the glass didn't retract fully, but that's not idea.    So dividing it into two sections, a fix, and moving section, let's the window retract fully, while also minimizing the potential for clearance issues by having only part of the window move. Maybe, IDK, that's just my not a mechanic or engineer assessment.   You see it for rear side glass as well. The rear doors on my 2017 explorer havd the same divided glass. You can the door curving in for the rear wheels. So if the rear glass was all one piece, the rear window wouldn't be able to roll down very much. But by making the portion of the rear glass that's over the curved portion of the rear door divided and fixed, it avoids this issue.   Again, that's just my guess. But I agree with Sherm, it does look weird. One of those things where engineering wins out over design I suppose.    Edit: I added a pic of an explorer door so you can see what I mean. Like if that glass was all one piece, it would probably only roll down half way. 

I'd agree it's more on the odd side, but there have been plenty of production vehicles over the years that have this:    

I agree the back is a little off. But overall, I like it, it's quirky and fun. It looks like if they wanted to make an electric Veloster.

From today's Autoline Daily.   What’s it take to get a Silicon Valley executive to join a legacy automaker? Just a lot of money. Sterling Anderson, who is now responsible for GM’s software and product development, got a one-time signing package worth up to $40 million to join the automaker. It will be paid out through 2027, and after that he’ll be paid more in line with other executives. Anderson received $16 million in cash and stock last year and he can earn another $24 million if he stays and achieves company objectives. That compares to GM CEO Mary Barra, who saw her compensation rise to $29.9 million. While Anderson’s one-time signing compensation is a bit staggering, we’d point out that’s probably what it takes a legacy automaker to get top Silicon Valley talent, who typically get big stock bundles that can be worth a fortune if a startup succeeds. Anderson co-founded autonomous trucking startup Aurora and he was the former lead of Tesla’s Model X and Autopilot programs.

Same here....and my dad owned a Zenith TV store!! He did not need a remote, he had six kids....lol

It also rounds into the windshield, it just looks odd to me. Plus other famous other cab forward designs didn't use a vent window either. 

Bed height is one of the things I love about my Maverick. Drop the tailgate and it's a great seat. Set things directly into the bed from the tailgate. Dead lift a snow blower into the back? Yep, with my wife on the other side, and she has limited lift mobility. My Mav gets used like a "big truck" and like a Bronco on the regular. On the F-150, while the tailgate step is a classic and should be available on all trim levels, there's other options that might be nice too. The Pro Access tailgate has its uses. I'd love to see a fold-out tailgate ramp. Not sure how the structure and function could work, but it'd be really nice.
