For me the biggest thing is they have learned from the Ranger/Tacoma/Colorado and the 6' high bedsides. It will be lower and much more accessible from the outside and better visibility than the new "compact" truck bedsides. It's interesting and see a huge market for it with fleet for private and government purchase. Whether it will sell to the regular car buyer is debatable but 32k worth of Honda Ridgelines isn't to be ignored with a Ford badge.
Ram does need to reply with a smaller truck. Ford now has 2 smaller and GM one, with Hyundai bringing a cruck to market too.

Is it certain that this model won't be super high like the Ranger? I always thought it was odd to offer a smaller truck that was so tall!
