Would just raise the price for the 98% of lux SUV buyers who have no desire for a winch. (No winch on the competitors: Defender or Grenadier or Lexus.)Would be nice to see a winch come standard with this.
I’d guess this one is still (mostly) a cosmetic prototype, not a full one-off build that’s 100% faithful to the actual production model. I would bet it’s a retrofitted 2026 Badlands to showcase the look, not the mechanical specs.I wish they would show us the engine and release those details. Did this one have Sway Bar disconnect? It looks like from your interior shot, the button is there. On the green Demo one it is not there.
They are advertising color matching gas-cans and this one had a torsion bar for the frame. 98% of the lux users also won't press the front locker button either but a unique winch would (IMO) go a long way for me, even if I'm already getting in line for this. To be fair a factor Winch would only be as good or lesser than the winches on the market, just have to make sure they fit the bumper is all.Would just raise the price for the 98% of lux SUV buyers who have no desire for a winch.

I believe the Filson will have the raptor’s 3.0 in it. Although I’ve read it won’t have the raptor tune.@HalfmuleFarmer and @Anthraces, they wouldn't let you open the hood. I'm guessing it has a 2.3 or a 2.7 in it, if anything. It seems to sit correctly, so I figure there is some form of motor in it. There also was no head liner in the top. I don't think it will have the SBD. The Ford guy said it wouldn't have the full skid plates either, just the front bash plate. It's kind of a hopped up Heritage with the HOSS 3.0.
Correct, but this is a prototype pre+production type gig and not in final form, so they wouldn't let us open the hood. My guess is there is not a 3.0L in there and they don't want pictures and questions about what actually is under there. Yes, is has the HOSS 3.0 Fox shocks. I personally really think this thing is a good value, particularly if the exclusivity means something to you.I believe the Filson will have the raptor’s 3.0 in it.
