I did not see any interior specs in the brochure. Any word on them yet?

No word that I've seen, not that they were ever published in the previous Ranger brochure in Australia anyway.

Wait for real?! Strange.

I stand corrected, they were for the normal range, but that data was not included in the Raptor brochure when I bought mine.

I did not realize the headlights move with the steering. I like the previous Gen Cactus Grey, which is not offered. The Black looks killer.

I have this feature on my 2017 focus st and it is cool. I am really hoping the newly-legal matrix headlights get included in the NA ranger. Specifically referencing the headlights that can be projecting their "brights" but detect oncoming cars and turn off areas of the lamp that would blind the other cars, but still push the bright lamps in the safe directions. These lamps are common in the EU but only became legal in the USA this year.

The previous NA Gen Ranger could detect an oncoming car and dim the head lights. Good point who knows if the tracking head lights will come to NA

We never got Cactus Grey in the PX generation either
