The difference is if you’re in the vehicle and someone gets a hand or other part in the way you see it immediately and can reverse it. With global close you may not even be able to see the vehicle so if someone got their head stuck you’d never know.
Ahh, the Kodiak line. Closest Ford came was when they built E-550 Chassis/Cab....a beast in it's own right. I still maintain that Ford could bring over a JMC tilt cab and mount it on a Medium duty E-Series chassis for a low cost entrant to class 4/5/6 where maximum space is needed for maneuvering in tight spots....but, since I am only a JAFO, my opinion is meaningless.
When I read this thread it makes my blood boil. None of these actions benefit the customer, the that’s for sure, because they sure a hell aren’t getting a discount. Regarding this post, there isn’t much premium about the 200a package at this point. Those wheels are awful.
