Agree. I just got a 392, and Jeep does the same thing. There is a nice leather dash panel that comes on the high altitudes (which are supposed to be the 'fancy' wranglers). These are still 30k or so less than the 392's. You'd think they'd do some things in the 392 interior other than some head rest stitching, like maybe give us the leather dash panels standard. It seems that Jeep handles it the same way, the upper trims don't really benefit from anything extra in terms of the interior. I'm not complaining about the wrangler interior really. They've come a long way since the YJ days, but it would still be nice to get a few extra interior bells and whistles on a jeep that's just a few k short of 100k.You're not wrong. But you have expectations that aren't in line with the sticker price (picture shows a Sasquatch Moar Door Badlands with minimum High package). You are making the correlation that the top should match the sticker price. But the top's quality matches the Base sticker price. Ford doesn't make a top with higher quality based on what trim you order.
The quality is still unacceptable. Last year, (I won't tag/call out the poster) a member was posting/boasting with a picture of their FE and 392 side-by-side. Yet, their MIC top on their FE looked like a checkerboard of mismatch panels. Personally, I wouldn't have posted a photo of that hot mess as it was an embarrassment.
Ideally, the quality should reflect the top trim and lower trims benefit from the improved quality. But Ford has done the opposite by offering the same Base quality throughout. The FE and WT has the same cheap interior plastics as the Base does and by extension the same cheap MIC top that is offered on the Base.
