Echo - ' this is what I always assumed it would be and was hoping for'. Ford can certainly leverage the existing platforms to make various body-styles. Hard-top (quieter), LWB-4D, 2WD, Panel-van, Diesel, V8, electric/hybrid. (Similar to what Land-Roved did with the Defender.)

I chose a 4 door because of the greater carrying capacity. I am a bicyclist and like to toss a bike in without having to remove a wheel. Separately. Read an article from Car and Driver that implied that only the 2-door came with a manual trans. Hope that is wrong. Still concerned that the...

All: May be posting this in the wrong sub-forum - but requesting thoughts. I am really concerned about the reliability of the 4-cyl engine. Recently, saw there is a class-action suit against Ford re: that engine (smaller displacement) and on models such as the Focus.

Thanks for sharing. Diff subject. Anyone know what leverage buyers will have to prevent dealer gauging when it is time to order and agree on a price?

The background music is so loud - that the narrator cannot be heard/understood.

Thanks. General question for all. How reliable is the 4-cyl turbo engine?

All: New to this blog. Based on an options table that was posted yesterday - is the manual trans. available only in the 2 door model? Only the Badlands 4D comes with a manual? Thanks.
