Honestly this leak doesn't do it for me... bad comparison, bad angles, poor quality, and nothing more uncovered... I think Ford could have setup a better leak
Maybe it wasn’t Ford this time. The last two spy shots have lacked the quality of the others. Also, both appear to be at intersections. Paid off a driver?

They have to pretend it isn't totally rigged. It's easy to downgrade the quality of a photo, or hand pick a few mediocre ones out of a shoot with a couple hundred shots in it. They still have to sell the story about 'spy' photography and candid shots to the average observer.

They're more exposed than the Wrangler, but not as horrible as some pickups.
I can see needing to do some major extra plating in those area to protect them

Yeah, they're definitely a bit more exposed. Not sure how the strength compares to the wrangler, but they look reasonably beefed up. Though, that's what I would expect if it's going to be supporting what looks like a whole coilover instead of just a shock like the wrangler or a pickup.

And that the introduction by the "Administrator" was not written by Marketing ;-)

No, no. Didn't you read? Administrator said it happened by "mere happenstance". Definitely not in any way staged, no sir.

That's only a coincidence its 5 minutes from Ford Motor Company World Headquarters
I can't quite determine where the first two pictures were taken, either. The second two are crossing the bridge, in reverse order


edit: also, the file details for these and the interior photos tells us who took these pictures ...

Close. The first pics were taken just down the road and literally right outside the wall of Ford Development Center.

Good eye, you're right. I was thrown off by the street sign (which must be newer than the google street view data) and the brown grass (because, you know, it's winter).
