No, it won't. Unless this is what will help you sleep at night, then sure it will. ;)
But to cushion my bluntness, I don't think this is the fault of you or any prospective FE buyers initial intention, but rather rests in the hands of FoMoCo for diluting Bronco w/ so many trims and...
Yep.
No joke — was driving back from Bellevue on 90 to Seattle and was in perfect line of sight for this Tesla driver to NOT cross over into my lane w/ their signal on.
