[2001 escape]

To me it looks like a matte black plastic top in dust and bright sun, not gray. Those hinges are the same ones on my 2001 Escape, one of the known failure points...but mine did last 17 years before replacement.
That tire on the back will just get in my way....when I am loading up stuff from the mall.

I read here that the grey molded top might not be removable. If indeed it is, I may come around to that color instead of white (if for whatever reason it's not offered).

My understanding was that was a rumor started because the “Grey Molded Top” in the leaked options list did not explicitly say “removable” next to it.
I think what you have to do is ask yourself what’s more likely:
1. Ford would design two completely different body/top systems for both the 2-door and the 4-door, one that allows multiple removable top options, and one with a permanently affixed top, forcing the buyer to decide what they want ahead of time and potentially limiting accessory sales to those opting for the “permanent” one, or
2. We are jumping to an incorrect conclusion from a likely incomplete leaked options list.

That's gotta be the 37 inch right? Freaking awesome!

So... at first I was super disappointed that it seems to be a flip-up rear window not a power up and down one. I was firmly planted in the "that's a jeep copy, and not as good as 5th gen bronco rear window camp!" But as i sit, balled up in the rearend of my 1994 bronco, jumping the broken rear window down with a powertool battery, i can honestly say it doesn't really bother me anymore! One more wake up!

We'll know soon enough

Wonder if Desert Gold is one of the color choices that wasn’t identified yet. Going through the SUVs on Ford.com. Seemed to be a common color.

Wish the tailgate was hinged on the driver's side.

I love a good rear-end pic...

My issue with tailgates hinged on the driver’s side is the crown of a road - when you are parked on the side of the road, the door will close into you while you’re trying to load.

Right....despite all the technology advances, I'm not certaun ANYBODY ever got the rear retractable window "right" .... they all seem to have durability issues, breaking all the time or otherwise not working properly.
Just on that alone, I'm fine with a hinge .............. JUST LIKE MY CLASSIC 68 & 69 BRONCOs!!!!!

Looks like they took some creative license with the color balance. That could be why the colors are off. Hinges look like they are real indicator, at least on this top, that the rear glass opens that way. Need to see all the top options tomorrow!

Agreed!

As a fifth gen Bronco lover, it was easy for me to want a roll down rear window. But Ford is buiding the sixth gen using mainly the first gen as it's muse. The original bronco was the OG ground breaking suv and if a clamshell style rear window was good enough for the OG Bronco, it's definitely good enough for me, and the new Bronco!

My guess is that the gray top is a removable one piece and the color matching and black tops will have modular pieces that are removable. But I won't know for sure until tomorrow night. Lol

 

[Toccoa]

Is that a protective cover on the tail lamps?
