Just saying “standard” doesn’t always mean “free.” The V6 has no manual transmission option, so yea the auto will be standard since that’s the only choice, doesn’t mean you won’t get charged for it. Seen the same thing plenty in trucks before when going from gas to Diesel engine, usually has a different transmission “standard” for the diesel, but the price for engine and transmissions can easily be listed separately. Still have to pay for both, even though it’s “standard” cause there’s no other choice. Lately more have changed so it doesn’t show like that, but you still get charged for engine and trans(can easily be 10k to change to diesel, about 6k for the engine and 4K for the trans, if it does happen to show “included” or “$0” on the trans then engine shows as a few grand more, you’re still charged for both). The 2.3 on the other hand has 2 trans choices, so an auto is only “available” and you can choose to not pay for it and get a manual trans. Not saying ford shouldn’t have had this sorted out long ago, but saying the auto is standard with v6 is no reason not to charge for it.
I think the main issue is the B&P said “included” and didn’t charge $1,595 when you would select the 2.7L for just shy of 2 months.
Yea thats why I said ford shoulda had it sorted out long ago. But just saying that the v6 shows auto standard doesn’t mean it won’t be a separate cost included as well. Shoulda showed the additional cost from the start especially with build and price delayed to begin with.
Exactly my thoughts. This is a want, not a need for me as well.
How did you add squatch? As the option? If I add it by the wheels up top I get this.
