Just popped up on youtube. Keep it dirty off-road doing an in-depth look at the truck. These guys are awesome.

Nice, thanks for posting. It's always good to watch a review while we patiently wait for order bank to open.

Great video, thanks for the link . Not sure if it's only for pre-production; the DRL looks to be amber and also the blinkers? Definitely, not parking lights since the marker lights are off. (From 22:16 to 22:24 mins mark).

Good catch!

At the 14:07-14:27 mark, they show that the preproduction version doesn’t have much space between the spare tire and the panhard rod. Any concerns with the former bumping up against the latter?

The pan hard bar should only move up and down. Not much lateral movement at all. So I would say no. But in the section that’s closest to the spare tire, it looks like the rod is flat and not round. I wonder if that is going to be a weak point?

It seems that way. It’s possible Ford created an issue with the flattened rod by solving for the issue with the spare tire. Also, although I agree the rod will move vertically only, Im wondering whether any slight lateral movement by a not-perfectly secure spare could damage the rod.

I could see that happening.

I saw that too. My first thought is, what if a rock gets wedged up in there?
