2018 final orders Aug 10
2019 initial orders Aug 13 > production starts Oct 22
✔ NEW FOX LIVE VALVE Shocks stiffen as speed increases & when cornering the outside dampers stiffen to reduce body roll. In off-road mode, the suspension damping will generally be much softer, for compliance/handling. Jump mode detects when front tires are off the ground & stiffens the shocks pro-actively, preventing bottoming out when you land. Loud Pedal mode detects aggressive driving, making damping changes more extreme.
✔ NEW/optional heavily-bolstered RECARO sports seats/blue Alcantara inserts
✔ NEW beadlock wheel design
✔ NEW colors > Performance Blue, Velocity Blue, Agate Black
✔ NEW tailgate trim
✔ NEW Trail Control low-speed cruise control > operates between 1 & 20mph using the brakes/throttle to maintain speed while a driver focuses on steering through challenging terrain.
* Ford Performance set to release fitted LED bumper fogs

They can keep the blue interior but those shocks and new wheel design are nice.

Interesting changes, nothing that really means much to me though.

Really like the new shocks. I see lots of potential...basically automatic version of the aftermarket clickers (ICON, Fox Factory, etc). As long as it fails safe these seem like a no brainer.

I hope the trail control system can be retrofitted too, not that I'd use it much at all, but still, ingenious update to the Hill Descent system the Gen 1 pioneered

They must of forgot to mention the 7.0L V8.

I can imagine how bad those seats will wear after a few months of me getting in the truck after crossfit covered in sweat...

Like the shocks and wonder if the black will be more like the gen1 with more metallic in it.

Seats are pretty fugly but if comfy...

Agree

Agree

Ditto, while I like the Recaros in the GT, not a fan of the faux suede at all, already wearing after just 7 months...luckily it appears they are an option so you can still order the regular leather seats!
