Once again, is there anyway I can get X-ray vision, because surely you must have it to judge the looks of an engineering mule! Or perhaps clairvoyance is the word I am looking for?
I would assume the severe misalignment of the front fender and the A-pillar would be apparent.
The front hood, fenders, grille and box were cobbled together from the parts bin, it is impossible to say what this truck will look like based on spy pics of engineering mules.
For instance, here's the Ford Flex engineering mule:

Pretty similar to the production Flex, no?

Chassis/suspension mules on modified current Global Rangers,
bodies were supplied by Auto Alliance Thailand (Mazda)

All of that fake front is stuck on camouflage, it's Mazda nose on a Ford truck for goodness sake.............
Quote:
That's the existing Thai Ranger box,
the tread width is much wider on T6 hence the gawdy stuck on flares....
Quote:
FoA deliberately made the mule ugly, sticking a Mazda grille on it to take the [censored] out of Mazda engineers.
There's a story behind that for another time.

Good to know.
Some better shots of the T6 mules. Makes it really obvious how none of these body pieces fit together.

Note: The final product will look nothing like this:
