I reserved a base model its not an option I can choose.
You think marketeering wanks feel shame? That's adorable.
And there are people who will choose to run Harbor Freight winches too. That's their choice but I know what Ive owned, currently own and used and know what direction I'll be going when it comes time for a winch.
For which specific items?
Your right. I can't believe you can't get a trailer hitch on the base model, but it even says so on the Big Bend model. Only available from Big Bend on up.
Things are still a tad confusing. The photos from Mobil1 (with annoying watermark) make it seem that the Capable bumper is just a steel version of the standard, but the photo used for Details in Build-and-Price is completely different.
The $30 Amazons will flicker, fail after a few months, give crap light output, and the plastic lens will yellow. I've gone through so many LED interior/license lamps before I finally gave up and bought Sylvanias. No issues since.
Yessir the hitch and a few other things like the good stereo I was surprised to find out you had (if you really wanted them from the factory) to spend an additional 10-15k just for those tidbits..kinda disappointing but the hitch I'm sure will be available either from Ford and there is no shortage of stereo places around that could upgrade the stock system. I'm hoping that the stereo is pretty good as is and won't need much, maybe just a subwoofer tucked under the back seat at most.
Usually, if I don't do the mods soon after purchase, I never do. The enthusiasm seems to die down and I start thinking more about what they cost vs do I really need/want that.
I tend to be just the opposite and enjoy the build process and then after I complete it I find I get bored with the vehicle and look forward to the next challenge.
agreed- we're just really early on this- aftermarket companies wouldn't bother much until there's enough of these things on the road for them to make their money back developing a product. I'm not looking for much anyway- maybe brush guard, some lights, i have to think that stuff will come out from other manufacturers in time
That's where I stand. By then, if I don't like it, we'll be close to the 21 model year closeout sales and I can get a deal on something else.
Many of them won't be able to get on board, regardless of how much they want to if they're not a Ford supplier. Most will likely have to use the same process as the rest of us to get a Bronco and go from there. That would push most of them at least into 2022.
