That’s awesome. We were out in that water in a Duffy that afternoon. Is yours a First Edition? I thought the one we saw looked more blue. It was on PCH in CdM coming out from the beach side.
No. Mine’s a Badlands w/SAS w/soft top…which was down that whole day. It’s originally black. But is wrapped in Light Pistacio (Pastel
Green) It does look a little like Cactus Grey when it’s solo or in pics by itself. But when it’s parked next to the Cactus Grey it’s definitely on the green side.

I don't even get why anyone wants an FE. Just buy a Badlands or Wildtrak and option up. If you have to look at the beauty rings and door decals to figure out it's an FE, that's your first red flag that it's a meaningless marketing ploy that doesn't deliver any unique functionality or styling over the next highest trims.

It's insane that people are paying such absurd markups for the same vehicle with a different, shitty vinyl sticker on the front fender. By the way, why the hell did Ford think it was a good idea to slap a stupid little sticker on the fender instead of an actual badge?

My 2017 TRD Pro Tacoma has got some Beefy badging, and it only cost 45k.

Can we all just admit that the FE is a vanity trim for insecure over-earners who view status as a purchasable commodity instead of a byproduct of merit?

I personally don’t want FE but don’t get the over earners who don’t have merit. If someone works hard and makes good $ that seems like merit to me.

Don’t get me wrong.. I love the Bronco. They look better in person than on a screen. Great vibe and character. My decision will be do I want to give up some ‘luxury’ on the interior for that character. I’m likely between the Bronco, Defender, new Tundra, or Land Cruiser. Boys asking me not to go boring with the LC. Whatever I pick WILL be taken off-road. Not rock crawling but enough to where I plan to wrap it to protect the paint from pin stripes.
Will have to be a used LC. We grabbed a 21 just because they are done with them in the US for the time being. Great vehicles. 3rd one we have had.

Love the wrap/color. Any chance you would share how much the wrap was. You can PM me if you prefer.

If the dealer did something unethical to get those units, shame on them and Ford should investigate. If they didn’t do anything wrong, then they can ask whatever they want for them. It’s a free market and some people aren’t willing to wait over a year to get a vehicle. I’ll wait to get mine.

You could've bought an Off Road which is the same truck for $10K+ less.

Likely. There are a few left. I don’t mind flying to get it. Also don’t mind a few K miles on an LC. I’ve always wanted one but not sure that’s what I go for. LX is also an option but it needs a lot of lipstick removed.

That’s why my wife has bought them over the LX. She had an X5 M before these last 3 LCs. Doubt I can ever pry this one from her.

That's totally fair, and I should have split this hair in my earlier post; trust funds and inheritances =! merit. Hard work is fine by me, but when I see _that_ degree of excess, I can't help but wonder how the money could be used for helping people.

...said the B6G member waiting to drop 60k on an impractical new vehicle. Hey, I'm not immune from my own criticism!

sense each person only could put in 2 reservation they had to do something to get 6 FE but I am sure they not the only dealer to some how get a lot of reservations
