Anyone know why the "Objects in mirror are closer...." warning is in French?

Bottom right corner: "Les objets dans le retroyis sont plus pres" is what i can make out which translates to the objects in the "retroyis" are closer
Since this is a prototype rig it most likely has bits and pieces from various stages of development. Perhaps the mirror or mirror glass vendor is from France and that is a prototype before product production begins for the English version one. Or the manufacturer only had French version prototype available and used what they could.

it looks like it’s a sticker on the window rather than engraved in the mirror. I wonder if they did testing in Canada? But who knows.

Super duty reference was meant for the storage solutions. Not for a size comparison.
Thanks for the clarification, hopefully any storage is towards the forward / dash side of the center console in order to keep the overall profile narrow. This will be very helpful for long legged customers for a more comfortable ride. Want a wider one with more storage? just ask for accessory #151.

To me, button on the right of the rear lock looks like “turn assist”. Lexus has the feature in the LX570. Basically a “cutting brake” to allow tight turns offroad. That looks like a curved arrow on the image.

Or maybe that arrow is in reference to body roll? Like something being disconnected? Hmmmm….

Hi All,

New here, but have been lurking for a very long time.

I like what I see! That dash pad is definitely not production, though. The fit and finish of it indicate it's either still covering up the real dash, or it's a very crude prototype.

Or they just haven't vinyl or leather wrapped it yet. Everything in there looks like its just the underlying plastic without the final trim.
Either way, something is definitely off about it. The way it fits, behind the instrument cluster, around the switch panel in the middle, and the way it looks the closer you get to the passenger side are dead giveaways. But this is to be expected considering it is a prototype not meant for public eyes.

I just don’t think the Bronco is targeting the Wrangler. The wrangler has 2 lockers, this has 3 which is a DIFFERENT NUMBER. Obviously Ford is going after the 4Runner and RAV4 you dumbass Ford fanboys. If it was truly targeting the wrangler it would only have 2! Since that’s what the wrangler has!

Ford Marketing must just sit back an laugh at all the free marketing buzz they are able to generate by simply throwing out a few crumbs to the crowd...

drip, ... drip, ... drip, ...

meanwhile, we all gladly obsess over every morsel...
