Anyone else planning on buying only to trade-in in a couple few years? Despite how much I like the overall rig, every single trim/option package requires me to make a compromise. I also hate every single color currently offered.
The closest thing to what I want is the 2 Door Badlands with the high package. What I would pick if I could, is a 2 Door Base with Sasquatch (on 33s tho), MT, and a high package. I'm also obviously not thrilled with the lack of the MT with the V6, but lets not go down that path today....
So, part of me just wants to get the Base with nothing added for 28k and cruise around trusting that Ford will have some new colors, trims, and powertrain options in a couple years (Hybrid, Diesel, Raptor are all things I'd like) and upgrading then.
The other part of me doesn't trust Ford to offer any of the above for the 2 door, and if they will continue to support the MT at all. At which time a 2 Door Badlands, MT, high-package would be very hard to come by.
I don't care about "goat modes" I don't want the disco. I want front and rear lockers, and a high package. That's it. Oh, and in a color that doesn't look like they gave 1st graders a bunch of paint to mix and make new colors with.
Regardless, I think a 1st year MT of any trim/package will hold value extremely well.
Edit: This is mostly just me musing about spending $48k for something that has slightly more than what I want, vs $35k on something that has slightly less than what I want. Either way, I'll be watching for something I like better.
