How does it work? Like absolute shit. Ford quite literally went with the worst possible option for the rear window operation that they could have.

Sorry, big fan of the rear window on the FSB. have my rear window down right now...still too chilly in the morning for me to take the top off.
The old school FSB one worked like shit too once the motor went out anyways.

I don't need the roll down, but do wish they'd had a drop down gate with a separate swing for the tire. Not too complicated....
I was hoping they would've done the tailgate similar to honda where it swings open but also can fold down if needed. the stupid plastic faux tailgate seems lame IMO compared to being able to sit on an actual tailgate.

Can't fold down if you have a spare tire mounted to it which the Honda does not.

Who's saying the accessory is plastic? Sure looks metal to me.

I think they make the rear window hard to leave open while driving because it sucks in the exhaust.

Which is why you make the tire swing separately.

Estaban talked about the options when they designed it and said had to do with the 360 camera placement. Although I agree with what you are saying. Surely could incorporate somehow.

Huh?

You literally just close the gate with the window still up, then you drive away.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Wow, I can’t believe I’m 3 pages into

How does the rear window work?

Hope Ford drops something before the cannibalism starts.

Yeah, you couldn't get straight back exhaust for the FSB for that reason. It had to go to the rear of the back passenger side tire.

I mean, you'll look like an idiot driving around with your rear window acting as a spoiler, but sure!

Who knew people could be so passionate about a back window. Got a vehicle with an entirely removable roof and here we are having a meltdown over not being able to roll a window down.
