Good memory!     She's too quiet to say anything, especially that! LOL!   She's only got 69 days of work left before she retires 23 days before her 50th birthday.  Then she won't have to worry about it! 😄 

Ford Motor Co. is betting that what CEO Jim Farley calls "the most radical change" to how it builds vehicles since the Model T will lead to not only lower sticker prices but also smaller repair bills.   Starting with a $30,000 midsize electric pickup next year, Ford says it will replace hundreds of smaller components with two large, aluminum “unicastings” — one in the front and one in the rear. The approach is similar to a process Tesla uses on its Model Y crossover that it calls gigacasting and that is also known as megacasting.   The technique is meant to reduce manufacturing cost and complexity, but it raises questions about repairability: Will customers’ bills skyrocket if collision centers have to replace one large component instead of smaller pieces? Would such parts be readily and widely available?   Such concerns are heightened at Ford, where the entry-level pickup is among the automaker’s answers to the industry’s growing affordability crisis.   Read more:    https://www.autonews.com/ford/an-ford-unicasting-repair-costs-0319/

Well, usually the grille shape changes with a redesign lol.   Yes, it does appear different.  The "platform" bump on the bottom of the grille also looks wider.

Maybe after I got hit by one?! 😛  

You mean you don't get down on the ground when looking at a car?

I had a video pop on social media about this and it looked slightly better from above vs the dynamic/squirrel height taking the photo that is popular in car photos recently. 

I would show them the receipt from the DMV and tell them to F--- all the way off!

I mentioned it in the thread with a carscoops article linked regarding a modern Falcon pickup Below the car scoop article website one of the comments was from  a person local to the testing ground in Victoria but has since deleted his post….not a solid source.   I’m searching for confirmation / info not in the public domain, may take a while….

Yea, that's a problem at the federal level.
