I am struggling to find a difference between these two, actually.
One is PRO, one is XLT, both no tweeters in A-pillar like higher optioned trim levels.

It also works as a height indicator when going into low clearance areas. If the antenna hits, the truck will hit as well.

No. The antenna is higher then the roof line by a large amount. 4 to 6 inches i would guess

A pity he didn't know to look at the charging pedestals to see the rate of charge and capacity. These look like production test vehicles not just pre-production mules. Of course they could still be working on the battery (and I hope their working hardware and software for the touchscreen ā€¦ they must have learned from the Mach-e and they better be fixing those performance and design problems.)
I think 1-pedal is great (some find it tricky to learn to modulate the regen.)

A pity Trip1 wasn't showing mi/KWh ā€¦ that would have been a clue as to whether the 300 mile range is realistic or if the previous reviewer pic of 472 mile range is still a potential (for an empty long range spec truck under ideal conditions.)

Ya. I feel like Ford has maybe turned some of the range indicators off so so that the public can't get a glimpse of it

Better radio reception when you are far from the station. It is important to Midwest buyers.
Good read about why. I also wondered but Iā€™m a city buyer. I always change it out for a stubby one.

Interesting, never really thought about it. The little pucks can pick up satellites in space so youā€™d think theyā€™d be better at fm reception. lol

I'm always excited when someone posts spy videos at an EA station, but no one ever gets a shot of the charging speed. He was right there--all he had to do was tap the charger screen!

At 6:55 in the video it shows the range as 456.9 miles in the instrument cluster display. Unless that is the odometer.

Antenna length is a function of frequency. The higher the frequency the shorter then antenna. Satellite communications frequencies are in the gigahertz range so they require very short antennas.

So those pro wheels are growing on me. They look particularly at home on the Oxford White truck. But man... Oxford White really screams work truck, doesn't it? I'm torn if I'll go for Oxford White in lieu of Star White on my XLT or not... Hmm.

None of the colors are great, except Oxford White. Really wish (beyond the irony) Lead Foot was available or even some fleet colors. https://www.fleet.ford.com/content/dam/aem_fleet/en_us/fleet/orders/vso/VSO_Paint_Selector.pdf
