All valid personal reasons to go WT. I liked hearing your thoughts.Been interesting reading all the opinions out there and understanding what each individual requires for their particular scenario/setup. As of right now, I'm still leaning toward the WT for a few reasons:
First, the interior of the WT, while not my favorite, is not bad in my opinion. To me, the tan carries just a little too much highlight color from the seats but is tolerable and happy it did not transcend into the A/B pillar covers. Plus the lighter colored dash will help hide the dust better from our AZ haboobs as well as keep the radiant cabin heat down....I'm not a fan of the A51 highlights with Rapid Red exterior (maybe a sign I need to get A51).Second, I want ventilated seats (don't forget I'm in AZ) and will plan on getting Katzkin (I think still may be less costly than Ford leather) before the following summer season and the cloth desert camo will be OK for that timeline.Third, I want the desert running high speed drive modes. Will use them more frequently than rock crawling.Forth, although initially excited to get modular top with WT, was probably going to get the top "Line-X'd" anyway after serious scratches developed.Fifth, wanted the carpet for additional sound deadening and insulation from hot asphalt (again, AZ).Sixth, was planning to go aftermarket on a few items such as step bars and integrated bumper/winch.Finally (I know), wasn't willing to go to OBX and then build up because of a few concessions I am willing to make.
Now, if they can just fix the roof rack with Sasquatch option, I should be OK .
Also, I just found out BL will come with Baja mode. I want AMB as exterior color and that just dosnt natch with those A51 Accents.
