Does base model 4 door not come standard with auto? If that's the case there is no way a 2.7 is also included at that price.So I just read through this whole thread and I noticed some comments regarding engines/transmissions that I want to clear up.
So on the base model I think we're clear we'll have the options of..
2.3 with 7 speed manual
2.7 with 10 speed auto
I noticed some people mention the 2.3 with the auto 10 speed. I was under the impression this wasn't available on the base model. Has this changed?
Auto is shown as a stand alone option with the 2.3 on the base and required with the 2.7So I just read through this whole thread and I noticed some comments regarding engines/transmissions that I want to clear up.

It's amazing how Ford thought these packages out in terms of maxing out an individuals budget. Keeping Cactus Gray and Area-51 colors out of the base range was pretty sneaky. Those are my two favorite colorsThe more and more I have thought about it, its Base all the way for me. Pretty much everything I would want in higher trim levels (vinyl floor, Marine grade vinyl seats, heated seats, 33" tires, premium tail lights, etc...) I can add after the fact (vinyl floor will be ordered direct from ford, marine grade seats can be sourced as take offs most likely, heated seats can be aftermarket when redoing the seats). I now just have to decide on color, and 2.7 auto or 2.3 auto.... Leaning towards 2.3 auto just because of likely cost savings but we shall see when the Build and price arrives. Goal is to be under $30k. Rapid red is currently the leading color (unless Ford is so kind as to add Area 51 to the base model...).
The Auto Standard on 2.3 Base 4-Door Only but on Base 2 Door its Manual Standard.Auto is shown as a stand alone option with the 2.3 on the base and required with the 2.7
Exactly my problem.... My two favorite colors are the two that are not offered on the base model.... Jumping to big bend will get me both to choose from but a color is not worth $5k to me...It's amazing how Ford thought these packages out in terms of maxing out an individuals budget.

Yes, but the auto is an option on the 2.3 2dThe Auto Standard on 2.3 Base 4-Door Only but on Base 2 Door its Manual Standard.
If it's literally just the color you can have it wrapped in anything you want for probably $2500 or less. It's going to be really hard for me not to spring for a wrap in sage or OD green.Exactly my problem.... My two favorite colors are the two that are not offered on the base model....

I'm with you both, those are the two colors I really like and want. I also like the aluminum wheels and slightly larger tires on the BB. I think you can also add a rear locker to the BB, but I'm not sure.Exactly my problem.... My two favorite colors are the two that are not offered on the base model....

Base with 33’s is where I’m headed. I like steel wheels and 16” tires are cheaper. I hope there are aftermarket lockers on the market for not too much moneyOther than the upgraded diff and transfer case there’s really nothing base lacks for me. I can do everything else on my own. If Sasquatch is greater than $5k then it won’t be worth it to me; the base model in the blue color would be perfect for me.
Between sas or no sas, if I get it I’ll probably be happy stock+ 37s. If not I’ll just live with base + 33in tires.
