Still don't like the triangle mirrors, but I am so stoked at how much better the rest of the truck looks, especially the vault and tailgate. To me the triangle mirrors look slightly more tolerable in their matte black finish in these particular views.

More importantly to me, is their redesign of the back tonneau cover surround inside the sails where it no longer ends in a point at the rear interfacing with the tail gate. Also, from what I can discern from these images, the rear attachment points seem to have been moved forward a little as part of that redesign.

To me, overall significant improvements and the mirrors are changeable anyway regardless. Can't please everybody 100 percent.

Is the BAW supposed to be in the up position at rest?
Probably, Yes.

Vertical should give less aerodynamic drag.

....
seems odd as i expected rest position at base of windshield
Looks better resting at base but reduces range.

At low speeds not much difference but at 55 - 75 mph should be measurable and 70-75 mph much higher loss than even 55mph.

i see we have a traditional tailgate now

wonder if the adjustability or ramp got nixed
Looks like the cables aren't tight yet in Maurer's video. So it will probably go beyond horizontal.

Looks like you might still be able to pop out the ramp

With cars i own, the wiper hides behind the hood lip. They could have done that with a slight extention to hide the baw

I might have to agree with those who suggest the frunk could open up from the bottom of the grille in F150 lightning style, based on the HD video of the seams on it. Although I can imagine that makes the lid extremely heavy and would need to be complimented with a hydraulic piston arm to prevent it from crushing people.

Sadly though, it appears like we probably lost the upper forward facing light bar.
