Currently at a ford preview event in Detroit with a Outer Banks. Two weeks in the D and they’ll be heading to other states. Edit with some more pictures. Sorry folks, this was an Outer Banks with lux, not first edition. Hard to see straight first time next to it.
Second Edit** Time for some comments and rest of my pictures:
To share some more of my experience. First I come from a sedan, when I got into the front seat it felt snug. Not super tight or anything but I definitely expected more room coming into an SUV. I am 5,10, 180 lbs. A guy who was over 6 feet was concerned about fitting but said he had no problem, he was a lot skinnier than me though! There was a jeep owner there and he had the same reaction, "felt a little snug." The man in the blue jeans needed two hands the entire time he was handling the door, he also broke part of the harness connector when trying to close the door without reconnecting it lol. The aux switches feel more plastic than rubberized and I wish they were just a tad harder to move back and forth. The manual lock/unlock that is in between the door handle was extremely hard to move back and forth, it felt like I was breaking it. What is really weird to me, the front wheel wells have are fabric lined, similar to what you see under the hood. The interior of the soft top has exposed metal bars going across to support it, it honestly looked pretty cheap. The fenders easily come off with a little twist adapter (you can see part of the level for this in the wheel well picture). For anyone looking to remove the spare tire, the rear camera is mounted inside of the tire mount so you cannot fully remove the hardware of the spare tire if you have a camera. Some bad news that was shared with me, estimated delivery dates that are supposed to be announced May 3rd, the rep said he's been told they won't announce until summer. What is summer? I don't know but maybe not May
