SuperCab or SuperCrew. No regular cab. I don’t think any current midsize truck is available as a two-door RC.

Increased use of high-strength steel in North America Ranger frame. Also has to handle the 2.3-liter EcoBoost and 10-speed transmission. Basically shares the same hardpoints as T6 Global Ranger, and that’s about it.

Oh, yes! XL base model with steelies!

As opposed to a one piece, integrated bumper/grille front/rear fascia. Ranger’s bumpers completely separate from grille and mounted to the frame.

No information to share today about a Ranger Raptor for the U.S.

F-150 is the only 2015 truck to be tested.

Encourage you to ask which 2015 trucks - beyond F-150 SuperCrew and soon SuperCab and Regular Cab - have similar small overalap countermeasures.

The F-150 program was well underway when this test mode was introduced by IIHS (2012). We addressed the small overlap front crash test in the 2015 F-150 SuperCrew - which accounts for 83 percent of 2015 F-150 retail sales so far - and are adding countermeasures in the SuperCab and Regular Cab in the 2016 model year.

The 2016 F-150 Limited will start around $60,000. Pricing will be announced later this summer.

Correct. It’s not required. We’re offering this to meet a customer need.

Six.

4WD selector sits above the PTBA knob. Same place as today.

No. PTBA is only using the truck’s reverse camera. Drivers need to also use the mirrors.
