Yeah, it's odd that they'd move on from that when they were one of the first ones to do it.   Especially since competitors like Expy/Navigator just debuted it too.     I also found an article about it funny saying one of the reasons they moved on from it was a claim that many customers didn't even know it was there?  not sure how that's possible lol.

Well, this adds fuel to the fire of the F-100 (or Ranger) being there - makes sense that they'd use steel to save costs.

Interesting comment in today's Autoline Daily that the F-150 EREV will be made of steel, not aluminum.     Ram is supposed to come out with a range extender pickup this year. Ford is said to be working on a steel-bodied F-150 EREV at its Tennessee Truck Plant. EREVs are thought to be the perfect EV technology for full-size pickups and SUVs because you can drive or tow all day long and never worry about range anxiety.    

Borg, is that you?  😄 

Yeah. I will say I've gone on record saying I really liked this shape under the tarp. So if that's it, I'm a fan even if it's not super convenient. Looks low, wide, and sleek. You get a better sense of the overall proportions and shape because it's not covered up in padding.    But ford could have made changes and variations to this design since. Time will tell. 

Its unfortunate that it no longer has a split tailgate. It's one thing I loved about the current one. 

GMC is treading water compared to other divisions.....

Now you see what I was talking about ages ago, the styling is different/OK, concern was if buyers warm to it.   It just feels out of proportion compared to what most folks are used to or see around them every day.

Jim Farley is ~68” tall in heels (lol) and the truck looks to be ~8 inches or so shorter than him by my guess.  

For sure, I just want it to be cool/interesting looking. 55 inches would be wild, but cool. Would certainly differentiate it from the maverick even more.
