I really like the ACC on my subaru impreza. The lane keep warning is annoying sometimes, but it's really just when I'm crossing over a line I technically shouldn't be. There just happens to be a spot on my commute that it makes sense to do that almost every day.
I'm very interested in the...
Definitely. but you aren't buying the vehicle from Ford, you are buying it from a dealer. That dealer can change the price anytime they want until the final paperwork is filed.
That being said I wouldn't expect them to change the price, but I would expect them to add things like paperwork fees...
I definitely expect it to be far more sporty than my 2017 impreza.
After accounting for the heavier vehicle I calculate 60% higher hp than I have right now.
Looking at the rewards credit card I can't say I'm very impressed.
You get 1$ for every 20 points you spend.
It's very similar to my Amazon card, except that gives me cash back.
I might get this card to use exclusively at the Ford dealer and then use points to reduce the cost of maintenance...

Power to weight ratio and total gear ratio is very important to give good comparison.
Another thing to add to that.
You can probably sell the tires you get with the truck to cut the cost of replacing them down.
Additionally, oems sometimes get name brand tires that aren't as good as the real aftermarket tires of the same make/model. So buying aftermarket wildpeak tires might be...
I didn't do your calculations again, but it looks correct to me. There are multiple weight limits on any given vehicle that reduce the real towing capacity to less than advertised.
Another way your max tow rating gets devalued is elevation. Ford tells customers that for every 1000 feet above...
Not trying to argue, just wanted to know if you had more info.
My dealer keeps telling me they will let me know when they get some in stock so I can come look at them in person. Pretty sure they don't realize I'll get my truck before they get any of theirs.
Good pictures and video!
I don't blame you for not going all out with the measuring tape, I'll just have to wait until I get to see one in person myself.
