obviously cost cutting but it isn’t as necessary when the glass opens and it’s a smaller vehicle. And it’s not opening that’s difficult it’s closing it especially for smaller women with a heavy hatch like the Expy.
That's an excuse, IMO. Expedition has had a power liftgate with a liftglass for over a decade now (the new one is a different design, but still).
Owners probably welcome the 360 camera option from the refresh.
My wife is about a foot shorter then me and it took her some time to get used to the hood because of that. It mimics the larger Bronco, but the seating position on the Bronco seems to be higher.
I was surprised to learn that it was that old; very ahead of its time. It has a similar look as the 3M HQ in Maplewood MN which was built in 1962.
edit: Maybe Ford should move it to Greenfield Village instead? 😁
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.
