As if he is going to saying any thing bad when he is under Ford's vigilance. He shot himself in the foot not knowing if the truck had coils or leaf springs. I would have liked a shot of the engine compartment to see how the Bi Turbo Diesel fit. Lot's of room in front of the motor for the 2.3L

Is this a full time 4WD or does the auto 4WD change itself from 2H to 4H on the need?

Here's another review I just saw posted from Thailand.

I wonder if the US will get a Wildtrak variant?

Since the Wildtrack is comparable to the Tremor, I’d guess Ford will stick with familiar naming conventions in their respective markets??? I’m hopeful of a ‘23 Tremor myself (especially if available in a SuperCrew/longbed configuration).

interesting that the gear shift in the truck he has isn't the small gear selector they've been showing in the reveals. it isn't locked behind a specific trim, is it?

Agreed. I'm 99.9% confident there will be no Wildtrak in NA....ever. I'm 50/50 if Ford will have a Tremor version. If there's a 2.7l Tremor option, then that's the route I'll go. I wanted a Raptor, but realistically, I could put a crap load of $$ into a Tremor or Lariat with the money saved.

I'm rooting for a SC/longbed also. I don't need one, but I believe there is a market for it.

Pre-production cars are going to have a real mix of bits in them, and not all markets will get the same equipment.

Our Tremor is the FX4 Max in the outgoing model. The Wildtrak is a mix of US Lariat with a bit of FX4 thrown in.

The BiTurbo fits with miles of room, the outgoing 3.2 five cylinder has space up front. This is the Biturbo in the outgoing model and it's not too different in the new model:

Is that the large diesel. Maybe the expanded room is for the Gas 3L Raptor. First picture is the Bronco 2.7L, second picture 2.3 L

Amazing how clutter the 2.7L is to make emissions. It has the extra Turbo. The 2.3L is less intimidating.

It's the 2L Bi Turbo Diesel. This is the now defunct 3.2 inline 5 cylinder:
