10-4 on the sheetmetal horizon. We've been driving a BS loaner for close to two months while our Explorer languishes in the shop. Kind of a weird illusion; it looks higher and more muscular from inside the car than from outside.
Girlfriend picked Escape over BS due to horrid front view (hood was way more intrusive) and that no matter the trim level, you could not get a powered rear hatch lift gate on BS.
Keep in mind Hino went nearly 2 years without selling any new trucks in the U.S. due to their emissions scandal. They are back to selling new trucks with compliant Cummins diesels. However, it's anyone's guess how much longer Hino will remain in North America, as they are in the process of being spun off by Toyota and aquired by Daimler Truck.
