Limited production would make more sense, I thought it sounded more like a package in the regular line to replace the FX4 which would be foolish IMO. I'd still rather see the L return if they make any limited productions though. It also seems like a lot of suspension engineering as well as R&D money to ever make their money back with a limited production truck. When they are selling off Aston, shopping Rover and Jaguar and talking about eliminating Mercury this seems like the opposite direction to go.

Aston has been sold for a while, Jag and LR should be sold either this month or next to TATA Motors and Mercury......well thats still in the air

they might be able to adapt this technology they develop for a mass produced vehicle(even if its a limited production) to the FX4 to make it a better off-road vehicle rather than just 4x4 and better shocks and lockers

fx-4 doesnt really have better shocks just uses a ford shock painted to look like a rancho and uses the same ford limited slip thats really nothing special

hope its not a 4x4 since baja trucks are 2wd. its not a mud whomper or a 4x4 its a pre-runner, or atleast as the look of one. It looks intresting, but only if it came with quality aftermarket shocks, arms tires etc. If its just comeing with factory ford stuff probly wouldnt be worth the money if you were just going to keep it a stocker. would probly be a good base truck if considering going farther with it and cutting the bed and puting a full cage in it.
