This looks likes the cool concept version you might see at an autoshow. To get the production version, make it about 50% more boring 🤣. 

Well, Ford had a location at the point of import that would likely take care of that prior to it being brought to the dealership....from Google AI regarding the import of the Ford Transit Connect and the way they handled the import regulations then....   The same place that did these "conversions" for Ford (Wallenius Wilhelmsen) has processing facilities in the Port of Oregon where the Nautilus comes in....    

Or at the port... If they can remove benches from a transit connect, they could do this. 

Yikes. That'd be a lot of time in the shop hooked up to FMC-net or whatever it's called. 😄

Plus some AI renders I pulled using the patent. 

Just have the dealer reinstall the software.

This is basically what I was trying to do, but couldn't figure it out.

Looks like the new truck is a smidge smaller than Maverick   https://www.theautopian.com/heres-our-best-guess-at-how-much-smaller-the-new-30k-ford-ev-is-than-the-maverick/

Ford Botched Repairs On Over 125,000 Vehicles, Leading To Four New Recalls | Carscoops   Since there are so many recalls, we’ll keep things brief and note that the automaker is recalling 5,252 vehicles for a transmission clutch that can fracture and leak fluid. This increases the risk of a fire.   1) The new recall impacts the 2015-2018 Focus and 2013-2016 Fusion, which were “repaired incorrectly” under two previous campaigns. 100% of the vehicles are believed to be impacted as they didn’t get the correct software update installed.   2) The second recall involves 10,742 F-150s from the 2018 model year. The government says quickly moving the shifter can cause a loss of the gear indicator on the instrument cluster. It can also lead to “momentary selection of an unintended gear, such as Reverse or Neutral.” These vehicles were also incorrectly repaired and need to get their powertrain control module software updated to address the issue.   3) Continuing with the recall redux, 18,124 crossovers have windows that can pinch occupants because their automatic reversal system can malfunction. The problem impacts the 2017 Escape, and the government says the “power-operated windows may exert excessive force when encountering an object, before they automatically reverse.” This means they fail to comply with federal safety standards. As a result of a previously botched recall, they need to get their power window operating software updated.   4) The fourth recall impacts 91,198 F-150s from 2018-2020. They have daytime running lights that can remain fully bright instead of dimming to parking lamps as intended when switching from “Auto lamps” to “Headlamps On.” They run afoul of federal safety standards and were also incorrectly repaired as part of a previous recall. This means owners need to return to the dealership to have the body control module software updated – hopefully correctly.   5) Since four recalls about previous campaigns are a little boring, Ford decided to spice things up with a brand-new recall involving Explorers that can rollaway. The 2024 models are equipped with 2.3-liter EcoBoost engines.   The issue is a tad complex, but the safety recall report said the crossovers can experience unintentional powertrain control module resets. If these occur while the vehicle is in motion, the parking system can become damaged. This can prevent the vehicle from shifting into park, which can cause it to unexpectedly rollaway.   The problem is being blamed on a Diagnostic Identifier data packet that is too large for the Powertrain Control Module to handle. This can result in buffer overflow, which trips a reset. The reset causes the transmission to shift to park, even if the vehicle is in motion. Ford became aware of the issue in May and has found 27 warranty claims potentially related to the issue. However, there have been no accidents or injuries. As part of the recall, dealers will inspect the parking system for damage and replace parts as needed.

Mitsubishi Showed US Dealers The New Pajero That’s Returning As The Montero | Carscoops   For years, Mitsubishi’s U.S. lineup has looked increasingly out of step with the market. Now reports suggest that what dealers just saw behind closed doors could change that. At a private product preview near Chicago, the automaker reportedly walked retailers through the new Pajero, set to return as the next Montero in North America, plus all-new versions of the Outlander and Outlander Sport, and a future pickup. The help might land just in time, though even that isn’t assured.   The most intriguing thing in the room was a body-on-frame SUV spun off the revived Pajero, now confirmed for North America for the first time. Expected to wear the Montero name here, the new flagship off-roader is said to ride on the same ladder-frame architecture as the Triton pickup and could arrive around 2030.
