The most accurate statement made in this article::
"The gauges are worse, with a bizarre layout and a linear vertical tachometer seemingly designed to prevent ever accurately reporting what the engine is doing."
Even still...I can't wait for mine...
I still can't believe Ford chose to put stickers on a $65k vehicle. Remember the good ol' days when thoughtful design and high quality production went into real emblems?

I'm a lifelong Chevy guy but after what they did to the Blazer I just can't take the Bowtie seriously...perhaps ever again...
Maybe I'm just old school but a sweep hand gauge is table stakes. The speedo is sweep...why a cheesy bar graph tach?
I've become accustomed to tach feedback when driving any MT - usually 60s-70s musclecars - so perhaps it's not as necessary here but I am still investigating. I suppose I will...
Yo folks - I do not yet have my MT BL SAS but I already HATE the nonsense digital tach...seems like the single biggest design failure at least with respect to dash-related items anyway. So, I've begun to investigate 3rd party analog tachs. There are many, of course, but it's the mounting that...
Yep...I'm reading a line-by-line counter to all things people say are limitations in a Jeep. How in Tarnation can a reviewer suggest that Jeep's 1945-design steering feel and feedback is superior to IFS/Rack and Pinion? Hilarious. Why? Because physics is an actual thing.
I ask about order number bc OP's spec and my spec look to be similar so I'm curious - even if just directionally - what the difference is in order numbers.
Yeah...8-10" will be a concern - thanks for the pic.
As Bonnie6G noted, the OEM softtop folds back fully whereas the BesTop does not so for those of you with this same issue, OEM top wins.
