dealer said I’ll be ordering this week - any last thoughts appreciated.
....
Floor mats (I have these on my f150 and like how they clip in)
....

I'm planning on using the Reward Points to buy the floor mats from the parts department.
Rumor has it, carpeted mats are standard, but they leave them out when you order the floor liners. I want both!

now that is exactly the kind of advice i was hoping to find.

Do we know what kind of flooring the base model has? Is it fully carpeted? If so, is there a drain plug under it?

If memory serves they all have the stamp in the floor for a plug, but doesn't have the plug itself.

Automatic
Sasquatch

Okay....have been waffling the last couple of days of maybe bouncing to a Big Bend, mainly for the heated seat availability, but I can recover in leather and get heat for less than half of the cost difference. Staying Base!!

dealer said I’ll be ordering this week - any last thoughts appreciated. Although I’m probably going to have to re-order for my22 given my late res date

base-base - carb gray
Manual
2 door
Aux switches
Floor mats (I have these on my f150 and like how they clip in)

First upgrades will be:
Katzkin leather with heated and cooled front seats - dealer working on a deal for us on this
Strapless bikini top for 9-months of the year (SoCal)
Set of 17x9 wheels and 285 70/17 c-rated tires once the originals wear out or I get bored

When you do the wheels and tires you're looking to upgrade, will you need a lift? I'm just looking at bigger wheels and tires for Base-base, but don't know yet what the max size will be for stock height.

I actuallly decided to go base squatch. But now waiting for 22 with manual.

Anyone know if possible/how hard it would be to wire a front camera or any other cameras to use the built in screen? Seeing those trail cams at KOH made me jealous lol.

I placed my order today:


2Dr Base
Oxford White
2.7L Auto
Sasquatch
Aux switches
Sound Deadening Headliner
Floor Mats
Keyless Entry

I would like to have some of the creature comforts available in other packages and of course the electronic sway bar disconnect, but not for all of the baked in costs to go along with it, especially knowing I was squatching it. Going up trim levels felt (to me) like spending several grand for essentially a different badge on the side and some color options. Going from base Squatch to BB squatch (1 trim level up) was essentially a $5k upcharge for two tone cloth and a different color dashboard! I can get gorgeous custom leather seat covers and put armor (and a winch) all the way around this thing for the same money!

This isn't my daily driver so I'm not poo-pooing anyone who has a more legit reason to pay for the price of admission for upgrades like a better stereo, adaptive cruise control, etc. it just didn't make sense for my needs (weekend hooning). I've been dancing the manual swaybar disco for 20 years, I can do it for another 20! I'm happy as hell with my base!

Yeah I just haven't done it before so I'm not sure what to expect in terms of credit for the existing tires. Also not sure if a dealer would entertain changing the size given warranty issues.

Ford isn’t going to void your warranty for changing a tire size. Dealer might not give you crap for those tires if they have no other purpose for them. I would just go to an independent tire shop and get whatever you want. Sell the other tires on Craigslist or something.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this truck capable of basically adding whatever you want after. So choose 2 or 4 door, type of engine and upgrade when you can or want. At its base it was promoted to be a very capable off-roader was it not ? The rest like lego add if you want later.

See post #2,051....went 2.3 with Sasquatch. Went for weight and money savings. If not enough, I'll just get a tune.

Does the tube require premium?
Does the 2.7 require premium, or “just to get the advertised numbers.”
