FE is an expensive sticker package. Get the one you want! If it’s Base, get Base. Nobody knew what FE would be when it was announced. Now that you know, you are under no obligation to keep it.

Someone reassure me this isnt a dumb idea. My dealer will let me switch my model out on my reservation. Just need some reassurance I wont be missing anything vital or am overlooking anything. Im a simple guy. I dont need leather seats or big monitor screens.

Any advice is appreciated
Don’t want to sound a capitalist pig,(frowned upon these days) but plenty of folks on this forum might be willing to work deal with you. They order a base squatch for your FE order. I’m sure I’ll be lectured on contracts, taxes and the like but it’s possible.

FE has intrinsic value. Don’t squander it.

You have an FE man get the FE as you originally intended. There’s a lot of people that wanted that model but now cant get it because you have one and now don’t want it. Makes no sense. It’s gonna be a really rare vehicle.

nope. You’ll be having more fun on the trails without looking at those monitors and trusting your spotters.

if your into modding at all, you’ll have saved 30k or more and have that much more to play with if you decide to hack up your rig and throw other fun aftermarket goodies on.

Don’t feel bad OP. I had a FE reserved and switched to Badlands. Will save me thousands of dollars and it’s literally the exact same vehicle minus a few color changes and the rubberized wash out floors which I wanted over the carpeted floors anyways. I can spend this extra money that I will be saving on aftermarket accessories also.

It’s your money you can do with it whatever you want.
But I know dealers who would pay you for that FE reservation, don’t squander it.

Originally we were told FE was a production of 3500. Then a website snafu we end up with 7000.

Honest question. When a FE reservation cancels should FE holders rejoice? Result may be <7000?

Maybe this has been covered. If so I missed it.

I'll give you the same advice I give to new parents.

Don't listen to anyone's advice.

You gotta do what feels right to you. If you're asking the question, you may already have the answer.

I did the exact same thing... $4K less!

Fords fault for not making the First Edition something special. Stickers don't get you home.

Uhh but it is special. They’re producing a limited amount in the first year.
Is there any other trim that can say that?

What was the point of reserving a FE, so that someone else wouldnt get it? Yeah, you should get what you want, a base.
